One year after the mass murder here is the cover of the anniversary edition -

The translation is "One year later, the assassin is still on the run.". The assassin is pictured as God. Makes a change for God to get the credit it deserves.
 
Didn't realise it was you before I clicked on your link again, I'm probably on a watch list by now going by other threads you posted in before :p

Really, get out, travel, go places, meet people, grow up some more, meet more people, meet people who work in places you have never ever been, seen, know about and you will appreciate just how stupid this stuff is, as are those sheep who follow it blindly. Simply opposing things or denying the facts as most understand them does not make you insightful, clever, more informed, it's just ignorance from a lack of actually knowing anything about the things you seek to debate. It's tiresome.

could apply to quite a few posters on this forum
 
Does anyone regularly read the magazine and can vouch for the quality of it? It just seems a bit like a cartoon equivalent of Katie Hopkins where stuff is done to have impact but not necessarily make a point that required making.

Granted that doesn't justify attacking their offices, and I would never want to try and censor the press, but is the content of the magazine actually any good or are people just rushing to defend it because they feel obliged to?

On the flipside, accepting "facts" because they're purported to be facts is no better. A large portion of people on these forums are guilty of doing just that.

To make the suggestion that the guy holds these opinions because he is lacking maturity, social contact and culture says a lot more about your own maturity and intelligence than this other guy's, and I'm not even in agreement with his post.

From what I've gathered their intention is to garner attention from nut jobs under the guise of being against censorship and being all for free speech, so that they can go "see, look how crazy they are".

No it doesn't, you misread it. Who said anything about accepting facts, I used the words "most understand them" to suggest common thoughts, not right and wrong. My point is about people who simply take the alternative view to everything, be it moon landings, 9/11, ISIS etc etc etc. THAT was my point, I am not taking a side, I am saying (consistetly on these forums) that life isn't black and white, but ALWAYS taking the alternative view is shortsighted as is never questioning. It was aimed at another "your all sheep" type post.

Well that worked out well for them...
 
N17 has a point. The gunmen did a couple of things that were non-muslim plus the media reported the policeman shot in the head and killed and cut the video but the uncensored video doesn't show him getting shot in the head.
