You are out of order.
The very role of satirists is to challenge established powers, be they political parties or institutions like the Church. Nothing of what they wrote was hateful. Charlie Hebdo isn't a provocative anti-islam ultra nationalist publications. It's full of lefties. Their message was that nobody should be above criticism.
