Anyone can be made fun of; that's not a "standard of hebdo", numbnuts - that's the definition of freedom of speech. I understand that people, who believe in stupid stuff without evidence, would like to be the exception, protected from deserved ridicule, but get it into your thick heads - you are not "special". Your dumb beliefs can be made fun of, just like any other beliefs. It doesn't matter if you call it "sacrilege", or "blasphemy" - those terms only mean anything to believers and are part of the beliefs, which are being made fun of.
Hey - religious people are free to publish their own satirical magazines, aimed at whatever they like - that's free speech for you. Except creating satire requires sense of humor and that's dependent on intelligence - which is why religious people don't do that... It seems that the godless have been blessed with all the intelligence, talent and creativity - go figure. All religious people are good at is passive aggression... and regular aggression, I guess.
