In solidarity. My deepest sympathies to the victims and their loved ones. Liberty will never die.

Indeed, Liberty will never die. Delusional losers may try to destroy tolerance and freedom.

Deepest sympathies to all those affected. :cry:

Not to start a squabble or anything, but tolerance and freedom have little to do with each other. Both, have been known to take some seriously long vacations from human existence over the coarse of human history. I have discovered over the years that there is nothing more intolerant than an intolerant human.

Intolerance is sometimes good. We need not tolerate religious nutjobs. Thomas Jefferson got it right that ridicule is the only weapon we can use against them. And Charlie Hebdo did that quite well.

I am not Charlie. I don't have the drive and guts to stand up against superstitions and brainwashing and risk my life. Those guys were far more than me. I'm too spineless to stand up against imams, priests, rabbis, pastors, monks and other crackpots who would see me die for making fun of their fairy tales.

Science flies people to the moon
Religion flies people into buildings

Or, in the words of Charlie Hebdo:

I find it sadly amusing that these nut jobs believe that after they kill a bunch of infidels, they are going to heaven, to get waited on by a harem of women, but while on earth their women have to walk around wearing the draperies.

No more amusing than the nut jobs that believe in a book that starts with a talking snake and ends with a four-headed monster and claims that everyone can walk on water and raise people from the dead. With a god who's his own father, sacrificing and praying to himself, and with a third hat to put on for impregnating virgins and make people speak gibberish. Or those who believe that children are made in their gods image, but that image isn't good enough, so an old man has to chop off their foreskins and pick it up with his lips.
Or...

Charlie Hebdo ridicules all religions. Not just Islam. And for good reason. They're all equally ridiculous, and there is no such thing as "moderate" belief. Either people believe crazy or they don't. If you're willing to give your life to shout out that people live a lie, and f**k religion, no matter which flavor, then you're Charlie.
Me, I'd rather live on my knees than die standing up, cause I'm a coward. I admire them, though.

I've been given to understand that there may be some confusion in old texts with regard to the Arabic word for grapes, translating it as virgins. This nothwithstanding, with all the raping, and beheading of women and children they seem to be so determined to carry out here on earth, there's a snowball's chance in hell that they're going to find any virgins in heaven should they ever find themselves there.

Should have tie-wrapped the Palace doors shut while we had most of them in one place, see if a real peace plan instead of a piece of a plan could emerge eh, or we could just....................carry on I suppose, roll on death eh.

You mean the original text promises them 72 grapes in paradise..?

I believe tolerance and freedom have everything to do with each other, some of the most intolerant men in history have literally taken away millions of others freedom and lives. Think Hitler/Stalin etc etc.

Charlie Hebdo do take the pxxs out of all religions and quite rightly so, it's just that some people can't take it due to their apparent insecurity with their own beliefs.
Many moslems have said there is no place for killers pretending to support their faith.

Me, i prefer to live in the world i find myself in rather than some future existence that may or may not actually happen.
Others so long as they leave me alone are free to do as they see fit.
