When you assume both sides of an imaginary debate you can't lose.

Probably because if you were to use the phrase 'Christian terrorism' it would be meaningless. Christianity does not promote terrorism in and of itself.

Could the same be true of Islam perhaps?

Terrorists are terrorists, there is no need to subdivide. The people who do that have an agenda.

If there were a several sub groups of Christians performing terrorist acts in the name of Christianity over many years, I'd refer to their overall efforts as Christian terrorism. Maybe that's just me.

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

There are groups that do that. In those instances the motivation doesn't come into it when it comes to the commentators.

How many of those loony left pretentious face palmers have actually engaged in a debate and accepted their overwhelming defeat?

Answer: NONE. They are too busy making odd shapes from tinfoil from atop their lofty perch as worldly educators.

Don't these culturally insensitive slimeballs know they may make an Islamic Terrorist mad? Where are all the lefty censors who hate free speech because it hurts their feelings?

Three million copies of Charlie Hebdo to feature Mohammed cartoons

Paris (AFP) - This week's three million copies of Charlie Hebdo, the first post-attack issue of the French satirical weekly, will defiantly feature caricatures of the Prophet Mohammed, its lawyer said Monday.

The special issue, to come out on Wednesday, will also be offered "in 16 languages" for readers around the world, one of its columnists, Patrick Pelloux, said.

Charlie Hebdo's lawyer, Richard Malka, told French radio the upcoming publication will "obviously" lampoon Mohammed -- among other figures -- to show staff will "cede nothing" to extremists seeking to silence them

The 44-year-old newspaper has always sought to break taboos with its provocative cartoons on all religions, current events and prominent personalities.

The paper's distributors, MLP, had initially planned to print one million copies of the issue currently being put together by survivors of the shooting.

But MLP said demand from France and abroad has been huge and that three million copies would now be released.

The original paper printed at 60,000 copies a week, selling 30,000.

With their headquarters still a crime scene, remaining staff are working out of the offices of daily newspaper Liberation with equipment loaned by the Le Monde daily and cash handed out by other French and even foreign media.

Charlie Hebdo had been sliding towards bankruptcy before the attack against it.

But since gaining worldwide notoriety in the past few days, it has won pledges of support from the French government and media groups.

Wednesday's edition aims to raise fresh cash to ensure the survival of the weekly, with all revenue from the sales, at three euros ($3.5) a copy, going to Charlie Hebdo once the cost of the paper has been deducted.

With the attacks the magazine has become a national symbol of free speech. Huge crowds, including 1.5 million in Paris in the biggest rally in French history, took to the streets Sunday, many carrying signs saying: "Je suis Charlie".

It's reassuring to see the people of Europe standing up for free speech. If we allow pushy Islamists to dictate what we say and what we do, then who are we? We will become nothing but their servants, as they are servants to evil. The wakeup call is here. Though we are all people, we are all different with differing points of view. To choose murder as the alternative to losing an argument, is akin to silencing them in other ways through censorship. Watch carefully as they attempt to whittle your very existence away to their point of view.

Interested to know what conclusion you feel should be drawn from this.

CNN now earns the distinguished title of "Chicken News Network" for their chicken spin lie of the new Charlie Hebdo magazine cover. Here's what CNN reports:

And then, there is the truth.

Islamic Terrorists are behind the attacks in France.

Period.

Not Christian Terrorists.

And what have you done about it since you have to bring it up in every single thread? Have you marched? Do you mentor young black youths? Do you volunteer to help out black communities? What do you bring to the table, besides racism?

I'm pretty sure white people don't commit crime in Lib's mind. Unless they're democrats.

I saw a dead deer on the side of the road a little while ago. It looked like she just lain down and gone to sleep, perfect little hooves and legs pointing toward the roadway. Nobody talks about Deere on deer killings.
