Charlie Hebdo Shooting on the 7th of January 2015 has received massive attention throughout the world. Prevailing constitutional theories would see this incident as either conflicts between two fundamental rights: Charlie Hebdo’s freedom of speech (freedom of press) to publish satirical work against Islam and Muslim and Muslims’ freedom of religion, or simply restraints on freedom of the press. This Article seeks to bring into this discussion the concept of equal protection. To guarantee the safeguard of fundamental rights, it must be taken into account the vulnerable vis-a-vis advantaged position of each subject of rights in the particular socio-cultural context. Also, considering the plight of French Muslims, this Article re-examines Charlie Hebdo Shooting with the intersectionality of discrimination and oppression based on religion, race, immigration identity and social class. Finally this Article discusses the possible roles of the State and law in any situation similar to Charlie Hebdo. |
