Brian following my comment on the other thread about race and religions, this is a perfect example of when we should criticize Muslims regardless of race
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you

Appeasement never works. The French, of all nations, ought to know this.

Islam is not a race, Jew is not a race, Christianity is not a race. Not even black is a race. A dark skin Jamaican is not going to have anything in common with a dark skin Ugandan or a dark skin San Franciscan vs a dark skin Argentinian.
Jews and Muslims in that area have always mixed and still do.Not even t he native Americans were natives. Their ancestors came to the Americas from the north over natural ice bridges and island hopping in the Barring Straights.
Go back far enough all humans came from Africa. Go back further and we are related to primates. Go back further we are related to other mammals .
It is not to say that race isn't a problem, but it is still used by humans in all boarders interchangeably with religion and even nationalism.
Yes we should criticize Islam, it is the biggest trouble maker in the world today, not that others don't have their own baggage.
Every people has mixed troughout history but there's still some differences we socially appoint to people. What I'm saying is that with the news you linked we should criticize Islam and it deserves to be ridiculed, it's reasonable - It doesn't mean I'm going to say Muslims are oppressing Europeans when they are less than 10% of the population

Saw a story someone reposted from a couple of years ago about an artist arrested for painting Buddha with headphones on him.
