"Je suis Charlie". Is western hypocrisy revealed once again?

Asked by ragingloli (51981points) September 13th, 2016

Some time ago, when islamists mowed down the cartoonists at Charlie Hebdo, the world chanted united in their alleged support for free speech.
Now that they have made a cartoon about the earthquake in Italy, they are condemned by the world.
Is it not the height of hypocrisy to tout free speech over the mockery of “the other”, while vilifying equal mockery of “ones own”?
Will you be consistent in your supposed values and chant “Je suis Charlie” once more?
Or will you be a hypocrite and abandon them now?
