"'It is not permitted to kill and also it is not permitted to humiliate a billion Muslims,' he said.

How exactly does a cartoon or a physical depiction of Muhammed "humiliate" Muslims?

It's not really something that our mindset can properly understand.

They were interviewing public school officials over in France in areas where the students are majority Muslim. They had trouble with the moment of silence. The majority of the students flat out refused to observe the moment of silence in rememberance of the victims. One teacher interviewed said approximately 80% of her students refused.

They also interviewed a few people on the street. The views expressed by many in the Muslim community was that the kosher grocery store seige was staged and the US, and that the whole thing was set up by Israel and the US and the terrorists were just set up - the whole thing just a plot to make Muslims look bad.

+1. When will people realize that Muslima is just a very polite troll? She has no self-awareness, says ridiculous things, never tries to think about things from a non-Muslim's perspective and seemingly exists only to irritate other posters. She is not doing Muslims any favors by being their de-facto representative on DCUM.

"She" implies that she lives here--then says things like "you Americans". I just don't think "she" is who "she" says she is.

The extreme Islamists in France should know that they live in a country that values satire and free speech generally. If they have a problem with that, perhaps there's another country (and mindset) where they would feel more at home.

Around 1,500 people protested in one of the Philippines' main Muslim-majority cities on Wednesday against the French satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo's caricatures of the Prophet Mohammed, police said.

Local politicians, teenaged students and women with veils covering their faces packed the main square in Marawi in the southern Philippines, some raising their fists in the air as a Charlie Hebdo poster was burnt.

"What had happened in France, the Charlie Hebdo killing, is a moral lesson for the world to respect any kind of religion, especially the religion of Islam," organisers said in a statement released during the three-hour rally.

"Freedom of expression does not extend to insulting the noble and the greatest prophet of Allah."

The protest in the Philippines was one of first reported worldwide since the violence to express outrage at Charlie Hebdo.

The protesters carried streamers in with the words "You are Charlie" written in French, in response to the "I am Charlie" cry of those who condemned the attack.

One of the streamers read: "France must apologise", while another read: "You mock our prophet, now you want an apology?"

So-called prophet. It's in the eye of the beholder.

Yep. Not my prophet. And I absolutely do have the legal right to mock him.

and we are exercising our freedom of speech by saying that Muslims in the Philippines would spend their time more wisely if they protested against the thousands in Syria, Iraq and Nigeria who desecrate Islam and commit blasphemy against their Prophet by killing and raping thousands of innocent in the name of Allah and the Quran, instead of marching against a magazine published in a country on the other side of the world.
