[quote author=Snoopster link=topic=94895.msg609145#msg609145 date=1420666558] How very sad. But how utterly contemptible that only now will our governments condemn the attacks and only now will they see these people for who and what they really are. They didn't condemn the threats of violence and intimidation of these barbarians against the cartoonist before the attack. They condemned the fcuuking cartoons!!
These stone aged hooligans are a menace and a threat to civilized society. And as pointed out by Christopher Hitchens in that video above, they will think of nothing of destroying all the freedoms we have if they had the chance or the opportunity.

"The Barbarians will only storm the city when we open the gates for them". This was a popular expression during the last days of the Roman empire.
It has direct application now as it pertains to religion vs. secular rights and values.
Before yesterday's massacre our governments were only too happy to appease these religious zealots and condemn the cartoons and cartoonists. In fact, most went out of their way to appease and pacify them.
The gates are slowly being opened for them. I for one will continue to fight against it for as long as I can.
Murdering those people to show that a tiny minority of Islam followers are not barbarians is like raping 12 children to prove that you are not a pedophile

Your fellow Muslims murder each other in greater numbers daily than they are at the hands of any Western power.
Where is all your righteous indignation and condemnation when a Shia mosque is blown up every week by Sunni extremists?
Your religion has some serious problems. The problems are a large part from within. The sooner the followers of this death cult called Islam reform their religion the sooner we can see a cessation of violence, threats and intimidation from these jihadists.

you have some serious common sense problems .
OR just lack of knowledge on these issues .

And you've just proven my point. This righteous stubbornness by Muslims to reflect on their religion and it's ideology is the biggest obstacle to reformation of that religion.
