Are you trying to justify nasty cartoons because of S.Arabian archaic religious laws?

I don’t get it…

Je suis Charlie aussi.

Hopefully we can freely express our views here, if yesterday's murdering bastards in Paris had their way we would keep quiet or fear for our lives.

Let's say it was a false flag. It doesn't change the fact that twelve innocent people were killed.

I don’t consider them innocent; false flag or otherwise, because they were inciting religious hatred and obviously got on some people’s nerves.

Ok GR, let us just fir the moment that they deserved in in the office, what of the police they shot dead in cold blood. Did you see the video where they walk upto him whilst on the ground and shoot him again?

Your thesis sucks. Two wrongs dont make a right FFS, grow up re gamoto.

I hope they are on sale in Cyprus - I will buy ten.

By the way, what is the point of arguing with somebody who supports the extrajudicial execution of people who simply express views he disagrees with.

Last year, 30-year-old Saudi Arabian blogger Raif Badawi was punished for starting a progressive website that called for, among other things, religious tolerance and women’s rights. That was insulting to Islam, said his critics. He was sentenced at the time to seven years in prison and 600 lashes.
His sentence was overturned… but that respite was brief. In May, Badawi was given an even harsher punishment:
… the Criminal Court has sentenced Badawi to ten years in prison, 1,000 lashes, and a one million riyal fine (USD $266,631).

And in France, the worst fate that religious people can legally face is to have their beliefs satirised! Am I the only one to see the lack of proportionality here.

That injured policeman who they mercilessly gunned down was a Muslim named Ahmed. People are now also using the slogan "Je suis Ahmed"

As one French Muslim has posted:

I am not Charlie, I am Ahmed the dead cop. Charlie ridiculed my faith and culture and I died defending his right to do so. #JeSuisAhmed

Je suis Charlie. Je suis Ahmed.

...in Montreal the crowd chanted, "down with religion", the Mayor said that it has nothing to do with religion, it is about Individuals with Criminal intent.
