The Charlie Hebdo caricatures of Prophet Muhammad has drawn an almost 50-50 reaction fromt he French people it self. A recent poll shows that almost half in France believe cartoons of the Muslim Prophet Mohammed should not be published.
It may be added that this clear division opinion appears after the recent attack by gunmen at the offices of Charlie Hebdo that killed 12 people in apparent revenge for publishing cartoons of Mohammed - an incident that has led to a fierce defence of France’s freedom of speech laws by politicians, media and millions of French citizens.

Half of those questioned also said they believed there should be "limitations on free speech online and on social networks".
