It seems like France stands out among terrorist attacks in the news. Is it because they are more likely to be critical of Muslim culture than other European nations? Is it because there is a security failure allowing terrorist to come in and organize better?

    The Hebdo drawing wasn’t light hearted fun though, it was right wingers trying to wind up religious people. Obviously there’s never any excuse for murder but publicly attacking a whole religion will upset a lot of people, and things can lead on from that.

      Dude, ten years earlier they drew Jesus, Mohammad, Buddah etc having group sex together.

      France stands for the right to express yourself. Fuck those idiots thinking they were somewhat responsible for any kind of terrorist attack.

        They’ve done many many offensive things. They’re an awful publication and it’s disgusting that they’re allowed to exist.

        I’m not sure the rest of France reflects your support as there’s been both local and worldwide protests about them over the years.

          Who should decide that someone has the right to draw an image and not another one? That’s how dictatorships starts, by limiting criticism.

          If you think we should limit criticism (it’s not like believing in Jesus, Mohammed etc haven’t got millions killed and worse) you could start by limiting your own criticism. You know, to show how good it is to do it.

            It’s not that simple is it? If you set a church on fire then should you go free because of past issues by the church?

            On drawing, should you be able to draw your friends child being shot? Again, these are not issues you should kill for, but you can understand why people are mad.

      They were not right winger by any way, quite the opposite, they were100% anticlerical far left. Maybe stop talking about something you know nothing about?
