    So they Charlie hebdo shooting was over a cartoon of the Islamic religious figure against the artists at a French newspaper.

    The above comment is describing the state of mind and beliefs of the attacker.

      I am aware of the charlie hebdo shooting and why they claimed they did it. But I don’t see how the above statement relates to it, besides the loose connection of “islamists”. Are they saying there are enough violent islamists that one should fear repercussions? Or are they dismissing the islamists’ views by labeling them as paternal conservatives? It’s really just a statement about islamists, and not about the freedom of satire.

        So that is called “willful ignorance” and the weight of not being able to see the relation is YOUR burden to bear.

        It correlates quite nicely and you’re throwing a fit because you disagree emotionally.
