French magazine Charlie Hebdo facing legal action after publishing cartoons mocking the death of drowned Syrian toddler Aylan Kurdi

Charlie Hebdo was today facing legal action after publishing a series of allegedly racist and hateful cartoons mocking the death of Syrian toddler Aylan Kurdi.

The drowned three-year-old toddler has become the symbol of the refugee crisis after haunting pictures appeared showing his body being carried off a Turkish beach last week.

But the latest edition of the satirical French magazine depicts the dead Aylan lying face down in the sand under the caption ‘So Close to Goal’.

Above him is an advertisement for McDonald’s reading: ‘Two children’s menus for the price of one’.

Tasteless; sure.

Surprising; not really.

They sure are working hard at erasing any sympathy people felt for them earlier aren't they...

The real test of expression of freedom. I guess this time it's the left wing that are p***ed off.

They were/are/always will be scum-bags. Just because their agenda met with your agenda once didn't make them heros.

No surprise here.

Well it was a shame that the father of the little boy was not fleeing for fear of his life but rather travelling for a new set of teeth. That is the facts. Sky news ran the story and interviewed the fathers sister who said he wanted to come to canada (where she lives) for new teeth but could not afford it so she urged him to get to europe and get some for free. As soon as the media saw they could use the death of that poor little boy to suit their own agenda the real story dissapeared.

And so we see Free Speech at it's best and worst.

Also, Mad Muslims take note - THIS is how civilised people deal with things that offend them.

[Black Monk]

Too many people nowadays taking offence on behalf of other people.
