Here’s one on “The Film That Enflames The Muslim World” – a reference to the Islamophobic amateur film, The Innocence of Muslims, which depicts the Prophet Muhammad as “a depraved, homosexual pedophile,” according to Paris Match. It’s hard to come to any judgment about this question in the abstract, so I’ve included a couple of cartoons below from Charlie Hebdo. In the wake of the violent attack on Charlie Hebdo, many thought that, while it was clearly wrong to murder the cartoonists for their incendiary work, much of it did cross a line, that it was unnecessarily mean and nasty, and that it often went after oppressed and disenfranchised populations rather than just the powerful elite.

Satire that ridiculed the less fortunate was just in poor taste or mean-spirited. Others thought that any person or institution could be targeted in satire. Ridiculing or shaming the poor and downtrodden was just some form of hate speech. Some on the team argued that satire has to target those with some sort of power in order to count as satire.

That’s the power of satire.īut what about its perils? Satirizing the rich and the powerful is great, but what about when satire is used to attack the poor and downtrodden? It's the perfect way to take them down a peg or two. It’s a potent tool for exposing society’s ills, especially when it comes to politicians and other powerful people.
