Franklin Graham Slams Charlie Hebdo for Russian Plane Crash Cartoons: 'They Were Wrong In Mocking Islam And They're Wrong Now'
Gerard Biard, Charlie Hebdo's editor-in-chief, said the accusation of blasphemy was 'absurd'
Prominent evangelist Franklin Graham has criticized French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo after it published cartoons mocking the Egypt air disaster, which saw the deaths of 224 people.
The first drawing showed a passenger's skull, with the caption: "The dangers of Russian low-cost flights". The second showed the plane's debris falling on an Islamist militant, with the legend: "The Russian air force is intensifying its air strikes."
The Kremlin has also denounced the magazine, with Dmitry Peskov, the Russian government spokesman, calling the cartoons "pure blasphemy" that had nothing to do with democracy or freedom of expression.
