This just in

We don't normally do "breaking news" (a much cheapened term nowadays) on this blog, but the news seems surprisingly slow to break in this case: the owner of France Soir newspaper, Raymond Lakah, has fired his managing editor publisher ("président et directeur"), Jacques Lefranc,for publishing the controversial cartoons depicting Mohammed from a Danish newspaper. Here is the story from the website of France 2, which includes an image of the new cartoon added by France Soir in which various deities appear.

[UPDATE: As for the actual cartoons, links and discussion from Sullywatch]
