Satiric newspaper attacked in France

[Leshma]

When will start the mourning for the victims of todays police raid?

This is the dissonance I'm not getting.  When attacks like this actually happen, as they have over the past several days, people desperately try to blame everything else but the obvious, which in this case are Islamists and their religion of pieces.

Blaming doesn't solve problems. But yeah, if you really want to blame, blaming Islam feels natural. Of course, discussing where the blame lies conveys to nothing, as causality is merely an abstraction.

I never understood why depictions of Muhammed causes such an uproar amongst certain muslims. I mean there's a lot of depictions of Muhammed made by Muslims that were made during the Medieval age that exist to this day.

The depictions can be construed as idolatry and considered shirk, which is an unforgivable crime

Oh well.

Guy in a video of the Paris attacks shouts ALLAHU AKBAR WE HAVE AVENGED THE PROPHET

Surely its a lone wolf and has NOTHING to do with the religion of Islam as a whole /sarc

So if I kill some random people and shout something like "Jesus is Great" its the whole Christianity's fault? Makes sense.

So if I kill some random people and shout something like "Jesus is Great" all Christians are bad? Makes sense.

Charlie Hebdo had some very funny spoofs on Christianity, and no Christians went to their offices to gun the artists down

Not sure where you're coming from

[lombardsoup]

And if 1 lone deranged sick christian idiot had, would we be having this exact same discussion about all christianity?

No, because that's not what occurred.  Not certain what purpose what ifs serve when we know what happened

So if one sick christian decides to kill hundreds of people with drones, disregarding any law, alot of people in Pakistan, Somalia, Afghanistan, Syria and many other countries have all the right to hate on christians  am I right?

Again, I'm only looking at what happened.  Can't change the facts to suit your narrative

So you are telling the US gouvernement aren't haven't killed hundreds of civilians using drones?

(Barack Obama as a president should be the guy responsible for it.)

What does that have to do with Islamic terrorists gunning down satirists?

[sF_Guardian]

It just has something to do with generalisation about muslims. Just to give you an example why they could hate us all (if they would).

In the end I just wanted to show you why generalisation is dangerous and why being speicific is important, especially in cases like this.

Muslims killed satirists that dared to insult their supposed "Prophet".  If that's all it takes to set Muslims off, then there's something wrong with the religion itself.

I'm sorry if you don't like the course of events.  Might as well declare a fatwa on me too

[Leshma]

Hope that muslims will do something interesting in Germany and Austria, those bastions of equality and tolerance.
