Great cartoon.
 
If you think about it, the sophistication of this attack and the attackers is very compelling and frightening. In the past few years, I think Islamic terrorism in the West was seen to have be performed by hap-hazard, pretty unintelligent people who unfortunately got lucky (looking at it from their perspective) when they carried out the attacks.

These 3 appear to be well prepared and rehearsed - so much so that they can't be acting as lone wolfs or a splinter group. This is rapidly looking like the most sophisticated Islamic fundamentalist terrorist attack since 9/11.
 
More really a test of the age of the religion, drawings making fun of Christ or the pope would get your family or village killed five hundred years ago in Europe when our Religion was the same age tens of millions of Christians were killed by other Christians over centuries over similar points, I believe Christianitys also likes to think of themselves as religions of peace.

Real Christians, i.e. followers of Jesus Christ, do not kill people.

Trained in Syria or similar by the looks of it, the way they carried their weapons they've either watched a lot of movies or had proper training.

Indeed. The latter I would imagine.

Word on the news of a police operation in Reims amid heavy gunfire.
 
Dunno, they point their guns at each other (unintentionally) quite a bit but the way they carry them is quite "stylised" like they've watched 1 too many special forces movie.
 
Worth linking I think Muslims Around The World Condemn Charlie Hebdo Attack although, frankly, I find it absurd that we expect this to be necessary. When Braevik slaughtered dozens of children there wasn't a huge outcry about the need for Christians to condemn it, and so on. Muslims at large bare no more responsibility for this atrocity than anyone else.

Real Christians, i.e. followers of Jesus Christ, do not kill people.

Oh look, a True Scotsman fallacy.
 
Been reading the last 3/4 pages and not one of you have said anything bad about the absolutely disgusting cartoons they were doing that was offending Muslims around the world. Cartoons that were deliberately intended to wind up and anger Muslims. Cartoons that were tasteless and just came across as Muslim-bashing, senseless garbage.

Yeah but they did in massive numbers and if dr Who is your mate go back in time and tell a Protestant soldier about to storm a Catholic town in Southern Germany in 1602 he's not a Christian and he'll laugh in your face as he runs you through with his sword fully confident he's going to heaven as a result of his holy sacrifices.

You are getting in to the "No True Scotsman" argument here where basically anyone that doesn't fit your narrow view of something isn't a real one.

The sad truth is that Christianity has indeed been violent in the past and still has it's moments now and again. The fact that you think they aren't true Christians is fairly immaterial as they probably think much the same about you.

I am hoping you are being ironic...

you seem pretty confused.

I have no idea about proper firearm drills and whether what they were doing with their guns was professional or not, but, what I mean about their sophistication is the targeted nature of the attack and the way they executed it. On top of that - surveillance, counter-surveillance (they are apparently known to authorities) and evasion techniques were used to get them out of the city.

Wait, Frodo is right. It totally justifies mass murder of innocent people...

Doesn't matter.
