The reaction to the cover of Charlie Hebdo is a monumental demonstration of the Islam leadership intolerance. All major leaders of the religion criticized the cover published after the assault. And what was the message? Was it a message of hate? NO.
That is what most people still don't understand, the problem is the Islamic religion. The religion is not tolerant, and they will never stop. If there is a law to stop the charges, there will be something else. The attack to the twin towers in NYC in 2001 was not about the charges, but relates to the obvious fact that Islamic religion is against women independence, that it is against homosexuals, it is against western culture. Look at what Iran looked like before the Islamic revolution. Either there is a reform in the religion or the west will have to become Saudi Arabia just to please them.

One religion condemning another for its intolerance surely is susceptible to a pot calling the kettle critique, fair and square.

Lots of headlines over Charlie Hebdo.

Meanwhile, not too long ago, in December, 9 gunmen in Pakistan killed 145 people in a school in Peshawar, including 132 children. One hundred and thirty two children.

Marches? Demonstrations? Condemnations? Outrage? Media explosion? World leaders gathered in solidarity and protest? Pledges to change, to fight, to... do anything?

Boko Haram just massacred thousands, slaughtered whole villages of people in Nigeria.

Black lives matter in Africa, too.

Today, Christians are still being killed and persecuted just because they are Christians. See more about it HERE. Meanwhile, stupid people keep blaming western civilization for the absurd committed by those who are still living in the 7th century. Wow, this is a great world to live. #NOT

When I hear things like. “well look what the KKK as done, or the Crusades, or the Christians, look at how many people they have murdered.”

I almost get the feeling these people are trying to justify these Islamic extremist terrorist groups. Two wrongs don’t make a right.

I never herd the President or the Vice President say that the USA is in a religious war against these Islamic extremist terrorist groups, so the notion that we are in a religious war is false. We are fighting the same war against these extremist murders that we have fought against many times in the past against the KKK, mafia, drug gangs and other criminal groups.

The only differences are, this war is on a global scale, thus much tougher to fight.
If bringing these murders, the groups they belong to and their leaders, is going to create more of them, then so be it. We need to bring them to justice for beheading and killing innocent people. If we ignore them, they won’t go away.

These Islamic extremist terrorist are the ones who brought the Islamic religion into this
So they can win the favor of the Muslim nation and in a small way they have achieved this goal.
These terrorist have convinced a small part of the Muslim nation that any country
that is not Muslim is their enemy.

The writer of that article gets it right:
