“the kind of intolerance that provoked this violent reaction.”
I can't with this argument.
If you say this, what you are basically saying is that these people have no control over their actions. "They drew Muhammad, I can't control my anger, let's go on a killing spree". That's not a "reaction" babe, that's an overreaction and I need you to know it. Have a seat.
Realistically, do I think Muslims are wrong for speaking out against this? No, they have "freedom of speech" too and can say whatever they like. These men didn't "say", they killed. It's indefensible.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie
