[quote=Anonymous][quote=Muslima][quote=Anonymous][quote=Muslima][quote=Anonymous]Swedish-american here. I think it is crossing the line to display these images publicly. I am not muslim--but I find such disregard for their religion and culture highly offensive. The French people are completely tone deaf and arrogant wrt to their treatment of minorities in their countries. They are hiding behind the cloak of "free press" and it is outrageous. And yes, I'm aware that Scandinavian countries are as bad on this issue if not worse.[/quote]
I completely agree.  My brother is living in Paris right now and I am scared to death for him.  He has a very obvious Muslim name and there is currently a lot of backlash because of the Charlie Hebdo thing.  [b]Yesterday, in France a pregnant Muslim woman was  attacked  by men who pulled her hijab off asking her to take that *** off and beat her up while she was screaming that she was pregnant, she lost the baby.[/b] Mosques were also vandalized  along with  Arab businesses and a car belonging to a middle eastern family was shot at. Unless we start having honest conversations about the underlying issues, this will never get resolved.[/quote]This heinous act is intolerable, and I'm hoping those who did will be punished severely.

That said, I think it is the height of irresponsibility on your part to infer that this incident happened yesterday (it happened 6/18/13) as a result of Charlie Hebdo.  Additionally, your referring to a massacre as "the Charlie Hebdo thing" is condescending and sounds more like an inconvenience than what it is which is an execution.

However, as we have repeatedly pointed out, it's about free speech even if one of your statements is partially untrue.[/quote]

I read it yesterday, didn't know it happened in June. It was a link under another article about mosques being vandalized. The is another one that happened in  August of 2014 and a 3rd one after that.  The fact that they happened even before the CH attack [b]shows the climate in France. [/b]

Yea, free speech after all, don't read too much about the CH "thing", really it is not that serious and I won't write a paragraph about the use of the word "thing", I am in no way minimizing or dismissing what happened![/quote]

True, have you read about all the anti-semetic attacks in France over the last couple years?  It's pretty crazy.[/quote]
