Note:
Fatal Shooting not assassination. is it so much to say he was assassinated?

I bought the book of his cartoons Mohammed, but it's all in ARABIC!!
Oh well, the symbolism is great, but I WISH the captions were translated so that people coming over who see it on my coffee table knew what it was saying. And me too!
