Because, fuck Jihad

I acknowledge that there are self-identifying "moderate Muslims" who will probably never personally kill an infidel. But surely, they would denounce the violence in France and elsewhere by followers of The Religion of Pieces who get butthurt over some cartoons and personal opinions. I've searched high and low, and haven't found any Muslims, big or small, calling out these animals and demanding their Muslim communities turn them over to French authorities. Pretty much silence from the Muslim community. 

Now I know there's always the excuse offered that moderate Muslims wouldn't dare call out or challenge radicals for fear of being targeted. You really need to question your religious beliefs when you're too afraid to speak out against actions taken in the name of your Prophet. You've got to wonder what would have happened in the Spanish Inquisition if some of the leaders said, "Hold on, don't you think this is a bit extreme? Is this really what God wants?" If you're too afraid of your fellow believers to speak out against violence, then you may need a new religion.

And now we've got a bunch of our own idiots condemning  Charlie Hebdo in their own massacre. Kind of a "you were asking for it" philosophy from people who enthusiastically defend selected victim classes. I guess in this case, satirical cartoons about Mohammed are "hate speech" and Muslims are the victims. Hey, DC, you either believe in the right to Freedom of Speech or you don't; I don't see you condemning Atheist comedians who pillory Christianity. Let's try to restore and protect rights, and condemn those who seek to strip them.
