Incitement provoking reaction.

  http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2012/sep/19/analysis-charlie-hebdo-cartoons    French satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo's publisher, known only as Charb, speaks to journalists. There seems to be a concerted and determined campaign of incitement in parts of the global media, tacitly endorsed by governments . Incitement, leading to reaction, leading to accepted justification for what? The clock is ticking.

What is the real motive?

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2012/sep/19/muhammad-cartoons-freedom-expression?fb=native  Article 19 of the UN's universal declaration of human rights in 1948 envisaged few restrictions. "Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression," it stated.   The satirical French magazine Charlie Hebdo has published cartoons mocking the prophet Muhammad, prompting fears of protest action. This is not an argument about free speech. This, and all the other recent "incidents", are clearly Incitement to racial and religious hated, which is a criminal offence in many countries of the world. The objective of these "incidents" is to provoke reaction in order to justify a response. There is a very sinister trend in the western media and establishment. The clock is ticking.
