10 dead in Paris after attack on Magazine

Sad.

Yahoo is reporting the death toll is up to 13, and that the gunmen are still on the loose.

Hope they get caught, and sentenced to life ... cleaning out pigsties.

I used to be for the death penalty, but long since changed that position. It does not solve shit. Catch these fuckers and put them away for life. It wont be line prison would be pleasant in any case.

Offended by the cartoons of good ol Mo, some Islamists have decided to take it upon themselves to murder at least 10 people in cold blood.

Live updates as per the attached link.

Now would be a good time for every newspaper, news magazine and tabloid in the world to reprint these cartoons on the front page.

What does it freaking matter? They think an all powerful God is going to get upset because someone wrote shit about him or drew a picture? That's ridiculous.

There are rabid football fans who are ready to maim and kill those who insult their team, because they have tied their identity to it, derive their sense of self-worth from it. If it works for a football team, I'm not surprised it works a hundred times better with a religion.

Terrible analogy. Not sure how often a football fan kills another because their team was merely insulted. My guess would be it being the exception rather than the rule.

By the by, fuck Islam, fuck them being "offended" and fuck anybody not saying something for fear of offending these prehistoric cunts. This is a cult based on the teachings of a warmongering paedophile and none of us should be afraid to tell them it.

This is a perfect (and tragic) example of why religion is poison.

I'll go a step further and say that I think Islam is the worst of an already bad bunch.

I wonder how many points Le Pen and the National Front just gained in the polls?

I seriously cannot understand how anyone could be driven to murder over being insulted.

How utterly barbaric.

Religion is an insult to human dignity. With or without it you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

Not very often. But there is for example a whole list of players and even a referee or two who were killed by fans, some even by their own. I'm not saying the two things are equivalent, but some people really get worked up about sports, and I was saying that if religion is just a few times as powerful in evoking those feelings, we have the makings of a terrorist.

Not with the intent to kill, but with the intent to cause bodily harm to opposing fans. The result however, 39 dead.

Putin condemned the attacks as well. Thats awesome, yet passes laws outlawing gay activism. Sorry Putin, go fuck yourself!
