At least 11 killed in shooting at office of French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo

For the same reasons you can't carry a gun inside the state capitol in many US states, or inside an aircraft.

Freedom has never been free.

Then why did the French government "suggest" back in May that the magazine tone down the rhetoric, while at the same time take measures to increase security around the world?

No death penalty in France.

of course, no one is saying otherwise.

Not me. Proselytizers are terrorists. Sure, they are not strapping bombs on themselves, but it is only a matter of time.

Jihadist flags, bombs found in Paris shooters’ car

French investigators found a dozen Molotov cocktails and two jihadist flags in the getaway car used in the massacre at a Paris magazine, a source close to the case told AFP Thursday.

French special operations forces deployed Thursday in a northern town where two brothers suspected of having gunned down 12 people in an Islamist attack on satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo are believed to be located, a police source said.

The jihadist flags and gas bombs were found in the abandoned black Citroen used by the attackers to speed away from the offices of the Charlie Hebdo weekly after they carried out the assault.

“This shows their Islamist radicalization and that they had possibly planned other acts with the petrol bombs,” the source said.

Zealots are dangerous. They give religion a bad name.

this back and forth over religion is the same sort of bs as the whole guns don't kill, people do. religion doesn't kill, people do. there is no way to end bad people doing bad things in the name of a particular ideology. you want the freedom to practice a religion, you have to accept that there will be folks who get religion all wrong and hurt others with it. you want freedom to carry a gun erry damn where you go, you have to accept that others will do the same and some won't be as skilled or smart with weapon and some will have horrible intentions. freedom is complicated. who knew?

Wow. Thanks for that. I am convinced.

i try to be helpful with my tremendous wisdom.

If religion is internalized, it is a good thing.

meh, very debatable.

meh, very debatable.

As long as the debate is internal, you are on the right path. Many classical philosophers believe that real truth comes only from that internal debate. Enjoy your journey.

who cares. why are you wrapped up in the superficial pc bs?

Due to the tendency of confusing murderous Islamic geehodees with granmahs apple pie pushers it's become necessary to call them what they are

The tweet that HebDo published yesterday before the massacre started wasn't anything to do with Mohammed. Yesterday the cartoon was of Islamic State Leader Abu Bakr Al- Baghdadi. In which he wished everyone good health.

All an eternal argument over who has the best and truest imaginary friend.
