It's important that religious people understand why non religious people dislike what they themselves hold the most sacred.

If you insult someones child it is very likely that same person will not be open to anything you will have to say on how to raise children properly and the same counts for religion,we vent about what we dislike and what we hate and the gratification we get from that is sadly often the only purpose/goal of the venting.

To reach a mutual understanding on topics like these,we need to tread carefully.

what a weak-minded opinion...

seriously now? instead of protesting against extremism they protest against Macron, very disapointing

If they just read..

It's kind of like if I criticize the Westboro Baptist Church, citing its disturbing angles and views and its hateful and downright dangerous views on others, and then all regular christians attack me for attacking them and their faith. It's very telling that the two recent attacks in France were against people in a church, and an actual priest; this is a religous war to some, despite the very clearly communicated point that it's about secular, rational thought versus religious extremist doctrine. Unfortunately, large parts of the Western world have grown accustomed to relativization and rationalizing the actions of certain groups and factions due to a perceived need for perpetual protection, which is why semi-integrated speakers and coloumnists are even able to write their "yeah, beheadings are terrible but bringing more blasphemy is not the answer" pieces with fairly little opposition. Many are afraid to insult certain groups, and extremists use this to their advantage. If someone told me face-to face that they felt personally offended by Macron's words, I would ask them the following question: since specific sects within a greater world religion were singled out as the perpetrators and main issue here and you're clearly so upset, does that mean that you identify with these groups in any kind of way? If the answer is no; then why the outrage?

Any person's right not to be offended should never stand above the basic human right to live, and live free at that. Most of my muslim aquintances over here have taken the whole matter well, they say that their personal relationship with god is in no way harmed by someone, somewhere showing drawings of the prophet. I'm happy to be living in a region where blasphemy laws are a thing of the distant past and there's a clear and distinct separation between church and state, blasphemy laws is a medieval concept and has no place in a modern society of any kind.

Pls don't chop my head off brown boy.

New terror attack in Vienna? (~20mins ago)
Supposedly radical muslims entered a Synagogue and gunned down some people.
7 people presumed dead, and 1 cop.

Apparently a "explosive device has detonated aswell".

there was an attack at a Christian Orthodox church in Lyon 2 days ago, not mentioned much by the media because there are no victims as of now, the priest is still in critical condition
