This Charlie Hebdo was the intellectual and moral equivalent of passing intestinal gas in elevators and giggling.

If anyone had reason to realize that Hebdo was not being personal towards them, it would be the imams. If they wanted to see Christians or Jews etc. getting raspberries for their faith, they would find it in the same magazine. Hebdo was an equal opportunity blasphemer. They would have found it very easy to pull together a pan-faith statement condemning what Hebdo is doing, if they had wanted to.

But reason isn’t ruling the day, hate is.

“But reason isn’t ruling the day, hate is.”

Precisely. I can't believe that less than 100 years since the rise of the Nazis people are still thinking that appeasement works when dealing with hate.
