...No wait...
The offices of the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo in Paris have been destroyed in a petrol bomb attack.

It comes a day after the publication named the Prophet Muhammad as its "editor-in-chief" for its next issue.

The cover of the magazine carried a caricature of the Prophet making a facetious comment.

French Prime Minister Francois Fillon has described the petrol-bombing as an unjustifiable attack on the freedom of the press.

I have a sneaking feeling that any other 'religious extremists' are outnumbered by muslim extremists by FAR.

I cannot even count how many times I have disproved this idea. And I cannot count how many times ThunderBunny has completely ignored it. I also cannot count how many times, upon saying this, he has demanded proof.

we've been telling him that for at least two years now. It's only gotten worse.

I swear, he's doing this just to try and get us to hate a sect of people.

Or to keep us aware of what Muslims are capable of. While the Westboro Christians certainly do despicable acts, last I checked they never strapped a bomb to themselves, beheaded anyone, stoned people to death or made death threats to those who disagree with them. I don't think TB wants us to hate Muslims, rather just be aware of what they are doing.

edit for grammer before Slick does :wink:

or what HUMANS are capable of.


Anyone can be an extremist. It doesn't matter how they go about it. It doesn't matter if they strap a bomb to themselves, load a van up with ANFO, go to a clocktower and shoot thirty two people... an extremist is an extremist. The religion is irrelevant.

Yes, by all means. You should fear an extremist Buddhist...or a Jehova's Witness...or a Falun Gong follower. They may annoy you to death or something.

Except by and large with Islamno-extremists religion is relevant. Last I heard the clock tower/Richard Speck/Timothy McVeigh killers were not shouting "God is Great" while they did their deed.

does it matter? does it really matter what the motivation is? a person has to be insane to do ANY of this stuff. period.

One lone assassin is bad enough, a whole group of them is a greater threat.
