These people, as in the ones who committed these acts of violence, are terrorists. It doesn't matter what they believed, only that they thought those beliefs gave them the right to hurt and kill innocent people.

I think women should think twice about how much they drink when they go out. Nothing should happen to them for drinking when they go out, don't get me wrong. I will always defend the rights of women to drink when they go out. But this is the real world, and drinking can have some real violent consequences, such as…
I dont give a fuck how offensive it is to Muslims or where in the Koran it forbids the depiction. Charlie Hebdo shat on Christians, Jews and especially the Far Right all the time yet none of those guys took it upon to kill the cartoonists.
Hi!
This cartoon is mocking the French far-right and Boko Haram, not the slaves. Please inform yourself better on the nature of this magazine. The dead guys were on your side.
Rubbish. Being offended is an opinion of an individual. You have as much right to be offended as the offender has to offend you. It's called freedom. The irony is that extremists function very happily in free societies because they are free. So everyone benefits. We don't get to decide the rules of what is offensive.…
... I'm all for free press, and the ability to make fun of islam (it can be pretty silly sometimes), but there are ways of doing that without breaking of our most sacred rules ...
So, basically, it's fine to make fun of Islam, but if someone doesn't make fun of you in the way you want, they should be shot? I grew up as a practicing Catholic for quite some time - does that mean any time someone made a joke about a priest molesting a boy I had the right to inflict harm upon them?
Actually, that's exactly what it means.
To: all of those saying we should not be praising Hebdo and his organization because they ridiculed already marginalized groups. NO, THEY DID NOT. Their targets were the same as any satirist; tyrants, blowhards, and hypocrites who preach hate instead of following the tenets of their own religion. No peace loving…
Some of these comments...
Pokes fun at marginalized communities? Have you actually seen the cartoons? Because they specifically make fun of Islamic terrorists who behead people. If "Islamic terrorists who behead people" is a "marginalized community" you're worried about, I don't agree with you.
What the French Far Right want is to oppress and isolate the Muslims and immigrants (and this gives them the perfect rationale for furthering their cause). And what the Muslim extremists want is for the Muslims to be oppressed and isolated, because that radicalizes the population and turn them into eager Al-Qaeda…
I've been thinking about this all day. I'm a writer and when I think of how these people were trying to do their jobs, to draw attention to things in the world that weren't right and needed to be exposed, it terrifies me. I just keep thinking of their families, who are now missing a loved one, and also my wife who…
Someone please send Will Arnett to challenge Gaston to a handsome funny guy with a gruff voice - off.
Can't find his name, but I found this clip:
He'd have to keep the costume on though.
Um, Gaston could totally get it.
This guy is fucking killing it lately. I expect we'll see much more of him.
I think they probably aren't paying this guy enough, he's just so good at being Gaston.
