mocking "The Prophet", Charlie Abdo published another caricature of him. Did they expect any less of a reaction? There are times when you just have to "bite your tongue". Would you provoke a vicious dog off of its leash? I wouldn't. Even the pope said that there are limits to free speech. I wonder what the next edition will look like. http://www.cbsnews.com/news/muslims-protest-charlie-hebdo-prophet-cartoon-4-killed-in-niger/

If we take away freedom of speech what are we left with?
We can't let these fanatics dictate how we live our lives within our own societies, if they weren't so radical in the way they live their lives there wouldn't be the need for satire.

These people are not killing people in the name of religion, even if there were no religions , they are lunatics who would find some other reason to carry out their murderess actions.

I am with the french,,free speech should never be taken for granted,and free speech is worth dying for,i for one do not believe these people kill for their god,,these low life cretins kill because they want to kill,,if they are killing because of something said in the koran,then i am worried that others may read it the same way,,and if they believe the muslim god cannot stand up for himself without their help,,who the hell do they think they are, that any god would need the help of a puny human,,is there not a massive gap between what a God can do ,and what a human can do,,,Always nice talking,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Je suis Charlie,>>>>><<<<<<

Count me among those who support free speech. It bothers me when my faith is caricaturized and ridiculed, but doesn't give me an excuse to murder.
This is so far overy the line, you can't even see the line anymore.

When the fanatical Islamic Muslims stop killing everyone they disagree with, when they stop slaughtering Christians and turning Christian church's into Mosques (indeed an insult to the Christians and their God), then perhaps people will stop making fun of them and their God and Prophet. Free speech must never be stiffed just because someone gets hurt feelings. Do you not think people who are killed or the families of the murdered victims are not hurt because the killing was done in the name of some fictitious (my opinion) god or prophet? A cartoon caricature is no reason to kill people. It's no reason to cause destructive war on a whole society. The offended need to grow up, get a spine and let Mohammad protect himself (maybe his god can help him) if he is so offended as they think he is. There will always be religious fanatics that just can't take it when they or their religion/God/Prophet are ridiculed. These people can not be reasoned with. You have to just smack them down and crush them. There is no other way. I will not give up my liberties for such creatures.

Indoctrination+Hypnosis(to radicalize children & plant the seeds of destruction by their trusted teachers) Yields the results we see. It is as if god had opened up their minds and gave those folks a commandment to go forth and kill. God gave all of us free will to choose for ourselves our way in this world. So, to me, I see this as the usurpation of the will of God by their indoctrination process. There are extremely harsh penalties for using this process.

My thoughts, exactly. We are rational people; they're not. Rights of free speech aside, I wouldn't taunt a dog that is unleashed, for fear of being bit. Charlie Abdo, in spite of the murders weeks ago, decide to print more offensive material. This is a war we cannot win. The best we can do is to try to prevent further attacks and muster our intelligence resources and work together.
