Orchestrated by the government, which obliged all its employees to attend, Chechens have held a huge demonstration in their capital Grozny to protest against the cartoons of the prophet Mohammed carried by French satirical magazine ‘Charlie Hebdo’.
Officials said over a million people gathered for the occasion.
“What is happening in France, these cartoons, is an unbearable pain for each Muslim. We just want to show people that we should live in peace,” said one man.
Protests continue throughout the Muslim world, but were much smaller in Tehran, where some 500 people answered a call to protest near the French embassy as news broke that Charlie’s print run was being extended to seven million copies internationally.

What we really need is someone, with identity hidden (just like the terrorists), behead just one muslim on camera. Circulate it online and watch the uproar. We’ve had our own military personnel subjected to trial for shooting the enemy, for goodness sake and it’s nothing for them to behead innocent people on film.
If the beheaded could talk, they would be witness to real unbearable pain. I don’t know what it will take to get the message to these nitwits.

Hey, lemmings need a religion too.
it’s truly a discount store god that needs to be protected from cartoonists.
I give it credence because it is responsible for death and destruction.
yes but it’s not a culture
