It seems like France stands out among terrorist attacks in the news. Is it because they are more likely to be critical of Muslim culture than other European nations? Is it because there is a security failure allowing terrorist to come in and organize better?

They've done many many offensive things. They're an awful publication and it's disgusting that they're allowed to exist.

I'm not sure the rest of France reflects your support as there's been both local and worldwide protests about them over the years.

Who should decide that someone has the right to draw an image and not another one? That's how dictatorships starts, by limiting criticism.

If you think we should limit criticism (it's not like believing in Jesus, Mohammed etc haven't got millions killed and worse) you could start by limiting your own criticism. You know, to show how good it is to do it.

Not supporting people and murdering them are two distinct things, are they not?
