Killing in response to insult, no matter how gross, must be unequivocally condemned. That is why what happened in Paris cannot be tolerated. But neither should we tolerate the kind of intolerance that provoked this violent reaction.

Nor has the rcc abolished the "office" responsible for this atrocity. They just changed the name.
In Italy, after the restoration of the Pope as the ruler of the Papal States in 1814, the activity of the Papal States Inquisition continued on until the mid-19th century, notably in the well-publicised Mortara Affair (1858–1870). In 1908 the name of the Congregation became "The Sacred Congregation of the Holy Office", which in 1965 further changed to "Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith", as retained to the present day.
Offend a Muslim and he is obliged to kill you.

In other words, surrender and submit to Islam! or they will be offended and have every right to kill you for being offended.
It is amazing the number of people who don't know that "but" removes/negates everything that precedes it.
Every single one of these "attack the victim" articles is from the same boilerplate.
If you don't like something or it offends you, don't read it.
Tell them to be angry at their own. Better yet...stop supporting these nuts...leave Islam...it’s not a religion...it’s a political system. They’re just stuck on stupid....1400 years of stupid.
I see Bill Donohue's at it again. Is he advocating punching someone in the face?

What exactly did you have in mind?
He matches his Pope for his chutzpah.. which aint saying much.
See? No difference!
well, the Catholics (with the Orthodox) have been the ones fighting the Moslems. During the seige of Vienna by the Ottoman Turks, the Calvinists were supporting the Sultan. And during WWI, the Germans were pally with the Turks
I’m guessing there are more Catholics in your vicinity than Muslims; why not take the lead yourself?
But neither should we tolerate the kind of intolerance —
Then do not tolerate it. But do not speak for me.
It is between me and God about me tolerating it.
I’m angry at a lot of what Charlie Hebdo publishes too. But you don’t express that anger by slaughtering the staff; you do it by not buying the product. The people at the magazine have a right to be offensive without being killed for it.
Agreed. If life in the western nations is so intolerable, there are a number of Muslim nations governed by Sharia law which these people can go live in.
So, can Muslims be considered as a group or as individuals? Which is it?
Are they homogenous or not?
ALL Moslems have a right to be angry? Or just the masses who has expressed their outrage at their own members who defame their own religion via horrendous and vile acts? (Oh wait, that’s like 5 people)
Let’s focus on today, shall we.
Rome is bowing towards Mecca.
I heard Bill Donohue spew on Raymond Arroyo/ EWTN. RA was aghast and speechless; his next guest said the opposite thing. I think BD is way out of line on this and will not bother to read it.
