A dozen people are dead in Paris after Muslim terrorists attacked the office of the satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo. The attack was carried out because radical Islamists were angered over a picture of Muhammad was published by the paper.
The Editor and Lead Cartoonist were among the dead. A total of 10 staff members were murdered as well as two police officers. Five more are injured, and the gunmen are still on the loose.
Charlie Hebdo has published numerous satirical pictures of religion over a number of years, including those making fun of Christians and Jews. These pictures did not inspire attacks.
Instead, a picture of Muhammad ignited the cowardly attack. At the scene, the terrorists screamed, “we have avenged the Prophet Muhammad" and "Allahu Akbar."

A careful reading of the Old AND New Testament and comparing against the actions of the Catholic Church in that matter will suffice.
So you admit, sometimes Christians get it wrong by torturing and killing sometimes.
Just like muslims get it wrong by killing people.
Matthew 7:21-23It is not those who claim to be Christian or who are member of a Church that will make Heaven, but those whose actions show the Love of God stamped on their heart.
21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?If you are murdering people, you can't call yourself good, or a Christian.
17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
Finally, now you understand where I am coming from. Just because someone calls themselves a Christian, doesn’t make them a Christian. I think FR has quite a few wolves in sheep clothing. So get off your high horse proclaiming anyone that calls themselves a Christian is beyond any doubt one at all.
Lets see, just which brand of Muslim was this? Was it one of the moderate ones or maybe one of the purveyors of rthe religion of peace.
NOT ALL MUSLIMS ARE SAID TO NOT BE TERRORISTS BUT ALL TERRORISTS ARE MUSLIM. WHEN SOMEONE CAN TELL ME HOW TO TELL THE DIFFERENCE THEN MAYBE I CAN TRUST SOME OF THEM.
I guess you never heard of the IRA.
Yea, well you about as relevant as a fart in a barnyard.
Actually a true statement. One even says his belief system WROTE the Bible and unless you join you are an "incomplete" believer.
Writings from respected authorities make it quite plain their religion is the ONLY way to get to heaven, quoted often in the religion forum.
BTW, the term "religion" actually is speaking of denomination actually.
What if you were taught, from birth, that your reason on Earth is to rid the planet of another group of people. How do you know that’s wrong when that’s all you’re ever taught? What you said was ridiculous..and again, a very Westernized answer.
Stop being offended. I’m certainly not, and I’m by no means an atheist. We’re all on the same side. Why do we need to attack each other?
Avenged the prophet? Maybe it’s time for the rest of us to avenge the prophet’s victims!
When the IRA first emerged they were killing an occupying army. That was legitimate. When they started targeting civilians of another religion, they became terrorists. When they embraced the Marxist cause, they went beyond the pale.
Sure, because if you disagree with the FReepers over on the religious threads, they will cut your head off...
The world would be a much better place if stupidity were painful.
It's a shame you do not understand the difference.
< Perhaps your ignorance will provide the opportunity to learn, first hand. Sometimes lessons have to be painful, I guess.
Oh gee, another high and mighty know it all. Speaking of stupidity, maybe you should read on to understand the context of my remarks. But no, the first thing out of your mouth was rage, attacking something you fail to comprehend written down from a keyboard.
Achmed where have you been?
Excuse me?? How does the violent terrorist of the IRA during the 60’s-70’s have to do with your response?
You’re excused.
What are you like 14 or something?? Shouldn’t you be back in school after Christmas break?
