It makes me fucking sick.
Agreed.
From a (admittedly small) survey of British muslims earlier this year..
" Over a quarter of British Muslims have some sympathy for the motives behind theCharlie Hebdo massacre and almost half say they face discrimination because of their faith, a new poll suggests.
A ComRes poll for the BBC carried out between 26 January and 20 February asked 1,000 British Muslims questions about living in the UK after a spate of attacks in Europe.
Four-fifths (78 per cent) of respondents found it ‘deeply offensive’ when the Prophet Mohamed was depicted in images, while almost one third (32 per cent) of British Muslims were not surprised by January's attacks on the Charlie Hebdo magazine offices, where 12 people were killed."
Those 78% should not be offended by those who speak out or take offense with a cult organisation that, on the face of it, wants to see freedom of speech as a one way thing. Doesn't work that way.
