Fox News host Greg Gutfeld was unmoved by American media organizations repeating the mantra "We are all Charlie" in solidarity with those killed Wednesday at the satirical French magazine Charlie Hebdo.
"Now, for most of us in this lazy media, mocking religion comes easy because there's no skin in the game," Gutfeld said Thursday on
"The Five." "I mean really, what would an offended Catholic do, send a harshly worded letter and ask for forgiveness for being mad?"
The staff at Charlie Hebdo literally had their own skin in the game, Gutfeld said. Twelve people were killed in the attack, including the editor and several cartoonists who had drawn images mocking Muhammad, the founder of Islam.
Militant Islamist groups had threatened the paper, and its offices were firebombed in 2011.
"Saying that we are all Charlie is a lie. We are not all Charlie. Far from it," Gutfeld said. "Instead of printing cartoons or challenging crazed Muslims, the self-congratulatory media turns tail, waving the flag of Islamophobia."
The media shows the carnage of Wednesday's massacre, but won't show the cartoons, Gutfeld said, calling that "a huge victory for madmen."
"We're advertising their handiwork to new recruits but not their sad pathetic insecurities," he said.
Gutfeld then showed a montage of experts on CNN, MSNBC, and elsewhere warning against a backlash against Muslims after the attack, a process he said follows every attack by Muslim terrorists.
"No wonder radical Islam has no use for satire," Gutfeld said. "The weak-kneed West is their comic relief."
