I am still disappointed so many media are voiding to publish the original, drawings.
After all, we are ready to send war planes, military consultant, surrender some of our privacy etc. to either fight or protect ourselves against groups alike the people who did this. Yet, we won't do the thing that seem to have hurt them enough that they perpetrated very specific and targeted killings of the people doing it.

Terrorism can't be combated by throwing bombs at targets, nor by elevating the discussion level to extreme confrontation; those actions just escalate the spiral of violence. Historical experiences, like the recent disempowerment of ETA in Spain, show that terrorism is defeated by insulating the radicals from the community whose interests they purport to represent.
That so many muslims in Europe have condemned the attack and shared the phrase is the best answer we could hope for. If only the same response had been made throughout the Islamic world as well, these undesirables would known that they can't claim any moral support, and soon they would find themselves without economic support as well.
That simply couldn't happen if our reaction was to place an emphasis on the images that are offensive to islamists. The ideals we value are that we're free to express and discuss any idea (even when it's despicable) without facing prosecution from authority, not that we can say things intended to hurt a different religion with impunity; the second is merely a by-product of the first, and it's OK that people may hold a strong disagreement with those expressions, as long as they are pursued in a peaceful manner.

A very good thing of the "je suis charlie” message is that it can be endorsed and adopted by moderate muslims .

Indeed. The moderate Moslem world needs to stand up and condemn/exile their radical brethren.

Charlie Hebdo was not made to hurt people or a religion, it always pointed out the obvious stupidities, contradictions of the world, them being religious or not. It also had the message of never taking things too seriously.
I often disagreed with Charlie, often was disgusted by their drawings... but they made one think. The muslims I am with are far more offended and disgusted by the killings made in their name than by the crazy drawings. And publishing them still isn't as bad as bombing people, preventing people from getting jobs because of racism etc. A lot of the drawings were not of the prophet himself but of caricatured radical muslims.

By showing them you are actually offending other people(like me) who just want to surf the internet without seeing those awful images.

Maybe its is inclusive but it isn't Charlie like. And its a lie, most people do not have the guts to be Charlie, I certainly don't. We censor ourselves: they win.
