Members from the pajama and slippers club are suspect.
They were to have Islam’s chief wizard, Mohamed, as guest editor for today’s edition of the magazine. The TT asked yesterday, “What could go wrong?”, well the P&S club (more than likely) burnt it down. KGS

Attack on French satirical paper Charlie Hebdo
The attack on Charlie Hebdo comes a day after it named the Prophet Muhammad as “editor-in-chief.
The offices of the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo have been destroyed by a petrol bomb, French police say.
It comes a day after the publication named the Prophet Muhammad as its “editor-in-chief” for its next issue.
Its cover carried a caricature of the Prophet making a facetious comment.
The magazine said the move was intended to “celebrate” the victory of an Islamist party in last month’s Tunisian elections.
Charlie Hebdo’s editor is quoted as saying: “We no longer have a newspaper. All our equipment has been destroyed.”
A witness at the scene, Patrick Pelloux, told AFP news agency that a Molotov cocktail was hurled through an office window and that it set fire to the computer system.
“Everything was destroyed,” he said.
There have been no reports of injuries.
Charlie Hebdo’s website has also been hacked with a message in English and Turkish attacking the magazine.
Cartoons
The edition of the paper which was being published on Wednesday was called Charia Hebdo – a play on the Islamic word sharia.
The cover shows Muhammad saying : “100 lashes if you are not dying of laughter”.
Inside there is an editorial, attributed to the Prophet, and more cartoons – one showing the Prophet Muhammad with a clown’s red nose.
Depiction of the Prophet is strictly prohibited in Islam.
In a statement on Tuesday, the magazine said it was motivated by the recent victory of the Islamist Ennadha party in elections in Tunisia, and by indications that sharia law could form the basis of legislation in post-Gaddafi Libya.
The magazine denied it was trying to be provocative.
Turning Mohammed into a global figure of ridicule and international laughing stock is the surest way to destroy Islam.
The character of Mohammed is the cult’s Achilles heel, and attacks such as this demonstrate how vulnerable Islam is on this point.
Any doubts as to the character of Mohammed can cause the whole house of Islam to sink into the quicksand of its foundations. Muslims realise this, because they fly into tantrums whenever Mohammed or the Koran is ‘disrespected’ . Under Sharia law any criticism or either Mohammed or the Koran is blasphemy which is punished by death.
This paranoid, hypersensitive defensiveness and outrage at criticism are not the reactions of a confident belief system, but of an information-control cult. These reactions are evidence of an attempt to protect a fatal vulnerability, an attempt to cover an Achilles heel.
We need to satirise and ridicule Mohammed until the Muslims fly into uncontrollable tantrums, then ridicule them even more for their tantrums, and repeat the process until they froth at the mouth and steam comes out of their ears.

Surely this guy had to know this was going to happen. Hope he had insurance. Maybe he plans to be an online mag next…
