Lets all be Charlie

Charlie don't surf. Fuck the commies.

You mean make fun of other people's religions until they kill you? No thanks.

Charlie is used as slang for the enemy in war

I simply cannot be Charlie. Why? Because as much as I hate all religions (including Islam) I won't make fun of it out in the open. I know the difference between my own thoughts, and freedom of speech VS being an imbecile. Let religious tards be tardy. They'll never change their mind. But just let them be. No need to escalate hate organized religion loves to use as their only logical defence.

My point exactly... Charlie is the enemy and in the UK "a proper charlie" is an idiot, we've been dissuaded from using a word which means " a free man"

AFIK it was during the war in Vietnam. Vietnamien army - Viet Cong was refered to as VC - spelled "Victor - Charlie", or simply Charlie. Since then people sometimes say "f*ck you, charlie". That's what i'm saying to those who say they are Charlie.
If youre Charlie, youre that:

I think you're missing my point here.
All week the TV has shown millions holding up signs that effectively say "I am a free man" (even though the people holding them don't realise that's what it says)

Not "I'm Billy", "I'm John" etc.
What are the odds to that happening!

Free people think deep. What now happens is a histeria pumped up by the MSM. Does anyone remeber something like that after London or Madrid? There is something big building up. Somebody wants to blow up Europe.
I say this is all a prelude to another operation in the Middle East. Saudi Arabia and Quatar are the targets. Oil! Remember my words.

I agree with you totally, I wasn't mocking religion - each to his/her own!

My post has nothing to do with recent events. The most we can ever hope for is to have freedom of choice, which is exactly what the word Charlie (ceorl) originally meant... Yet somehow the name has been given a negative spin: a fool/ the enemy...etc. My question is why and by whom?

So the title says "Let's all be free"
