"The lions of Islam have avenged our Prophet," Abu Mussab, who fights for IS insurgents in Syria, told Reuters via internet connection. "These are our lions. It's the first drops – more will follow," he said, speaking via an internet connection from Syria. He added that he and his fellow fighters are happy about the incident.
Mussab said he did not know the gunmen who carried out the attack, but added "they are on the path of the emir [IS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi]....and our Sheikh Osama (bin Laden)."
Reports suggest that the cartoons portraying Prophet Mohammed published earlier by the satirical paper were the reason for the attack. The gunmen reportedly called out the victims by name, shouting: “We have avenged the prophet."
The religion of peace at it again.

You can't comprehend that it includes everybody?
What should I be critiqueing?
you could critique people for murdering other people just because they didn't share their opinion or drawing a picture.
you think it's ok to kill people for satire but you think it's not ok to critique people for killing other people.
that's just plain sick.
You are the sick one if you are implying, or saying, that I said that, or think it.
Well, that's how it comes across. They shouldn't have poked the beast, therefore, they deserve. Read it back in the morning, maybe you'll see it then.

So, are you telling me that you know absolutely nothing about Islam and about what is written in the Koran?
Do the reading and then get back to me. There is no point in arguing with people who have limited or no knowledge about the subject under discussion.

Opinions are acceptable here, it's a forum but don't tell me what I think is wrong.
I agree with Donohue, about the terrorists and about the "journos"
Have you read your own posts?

Are you in charge of this forum?
Nev, I read my posts.................... at no time have I ever condoned terrorism.
Perhaps you need to read them. Comprehension seems to be a problem for some.

I read them.
I comprehend that some posts are designed to walk the other line. I don't.

The people who shot up the Charlie Hebdo office and who killed the journalists and that policeman did not claim any political motve for their attack, they claimed a religious motive.
When are we going to stop apologising for Islam? When are we going to be willing to educate ourselves about what Islam teaches?
When are we going to be willing to call a spade a bloody shovel?

Who is apologising for Islam?
"Killing in response to insult, no matter how gross, must be unequivocally condemned.
That is why what happened in Paris cannot be tolerated," says Donohue. "But neither should we tolerate the kind of intolerance that provoked this violent reaction."
That is an opinion I share.

But, but, but . . . you agreed with this statement by Donohue;
"But neither should we tolerate the kind of intolerance that provoked this violent reaction."
You can't have it both ways.

Don't you understand that those cartoons from Charlie Hebdo were precisely in response to the intolerance and hate and violence manifested by Islam?

See, it's the "but neither" bit that I have a problem with.
Someone posts a lot of rubbish on a forum. Okay. Hunting them down and killing them?
