Quite a surreal interview with the hostage of the Kouachi brothers. |

But that attitude gives me confidence that magazine would get back to where it was. I mean, I hate that magazine, like with a passion. But on principle, would be pleased to see it continue on.

| | Re: France: Charlie Hebdo Office shootings | Quote: |  | | | ... and the other group who categorically state that Free Speech has to prevail, come what may - as long as it does not include a) discussing 'free speech and its possible limits' and b) discussing why Charlie Hebdo never lampooned zionism and sacked one of their founder members in the 90s for mocking Zarkozy's pseudo conversion to Judaism to marry a tycoon's daughter, and for wanting to mock and criticize zionism and the treatment of Palestinians. | | | | | Really? I found at least 4 Charlie Hebdo cartoons on Judaism and they also had a regular column lambasting the religion for a while so Google tells me.

| | Re: France: Charlie Hebdo Office shootings | Quote: | |  | | | Sorry I can't interact with you | | | | | Of course you can. In a civilized way. The point being that you can't go by fundamentalists' definition of insult (blasphemy in their vocabulary), otherwise, you let yourself be reduced to silence. And when there is a disagreement between both parts like between you and me, a civilized way to solve it is moderation team evaluation of the situation, like between you and me - and not terrorism like between Charlie Hebdo and some islamic fundamentalists.

Regardless of what religion these murderers followed, it was their free will that caused them to commit these acts. The entire religion of Islam does not deserve to be blamed for the acts of a few of its misguided followers, just as the entire religion of Christianity (for example) should not be blamed if some freak decides to bomb an abortion clinic.
These murderers (probably) wanted to be martyrs. I think we should not grant them that wish by allowing what they did to cause even more tensions between the Muslim and the non-Muslim world.

Well, that is all fine with me, as long as you aren't trying to sell sugar-coated versions of dangerous ideas. Peace is good. But you ought to know though, we aren't ignorant teenagers here.
Then I'll just finally add that Muslims should address the violent side of Islam. I really do say this out of love for them. They are first and foremost injured by this before anybody else.
