Gun attack on French magazine kills 12 - because of cartoons
EXCERPT:
Gunmen have attacked the Paris office of French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, killing 12 people and injuring seven in an apparent Islamist attack.
Three masked attackers opened fire with assault rifles in the office and exchanged shots with police in the street outside before escaping by car.
The gunmen shouted "we have avenged the Prophet Muhammad", witnesses say.

Ever consider the possibility that they are retaliating for atrocities we have committed against them (not cartoons--bombs and drones)? The hate-mongering and barbaric proposals on this thread are sickening.
Isn't the hajj [compulsory pilgrimage to mekka] praying to a meteorite?
they will be shocked to discover that the virgins waiting for them are the previous suicide bombers.
I don't know if true - the suicide bombers are the decapitated corpse, the pressure wave from the explosion is supposed to rip their head off their shoulders.
But you can't force someone to be rational. If they won't behave civilly then wipe them out to get rid of them in self defense, not to try to convince them -- when a war gets to that point it doesn't matter anymore what they think. If they don't capitulate then keep going until either they are gone or the only ones left in power have the sense to surrender.
Our political leadership not only doesn't understand the nature of war, they don't understand and don't want to understand the ideological motives of the Islamo-fascists. But we don't go after them for their religion or their motives, we go after them to put an end to their actions. Their beliefs and whether or not they understand are and have to be up to them. But understanding their ideology and motives is necessary to understand who and what the enemy and the threat are and where it is coming from (and which ones are not the enemies in war).
Aye captain. My Matilda, she's a chubby grubby, and eats first!
Don't feed them to the pigs, besides giving them all kinds of digestive ailments, it is just cruel to feed that kind of trash to the pigs.
I will not stand you torturing animals, the pigs, have done nothing to deserve that kind of treatment!!
Leave their mulched, legs first, corpses for the maggots to enjoy.
Put more simply - the specific book or mythology is not the problem
- it is taking / interpreting the writing as reality (or super-real / supernatural) and ignoring values such as
liberty, life, peace, responsibility, etc. All major religions tend to exhibit this problem, but most have been forced out of it,
typically through the loss of State power.
Ignorance of evil was what lead to so many innocent deaths in WWII at the hands of the Nazis concentration camps. We have similar ignorance in our politicians and bleeding hearts today.
What is junior supposed to do, there just isn't enough camels or goats.( or bachi boyz for that matter)
