Don't get me wrong, I am not on the side of killing people who draw Mohammed or Jesus, not at all. I definitely want to see the French root out the fledgling terrorists in their country and imprison or deport them. But yeah, twist the tiger's tail...

Great point of view yet if one wants to live in the western culture should get used to it or stay in ME or N.Africa.
When you look at all political cartoons and a like , it is chaos..now should religion be any different.
Now ... was anything racist , xenophobic in those cartoons , I think it is a little bit too much of understanding also " twist tiger's tail " sound wrong too me.
looks like the terrorist succeeded in making their point.

I'm just pointing out as reality. Try going into an Italian diner full of wiseguys in Brooklyn and shouting "hey, it smells in here, smells like (insert Italian slurs here)."

Spock would say you shouldn't go in there to start with.

Honestly, if Spock came into this thread...his reaction would be:

If one is going to use fictional stuff? Then this point is just as valid.
