I'm not saying I support or condone the reasoning but France has a long history of clashing with islam. More recently you have Charlie Hebdo, bans on face coverings/birkinis, going back you have France ruling islamic countries in North Africa and the Middle East (hence they have significant diasporas). They're usually involved in all the foreign policy/military action that the US/UK caries out in islamic regions too.
Then don't be a mouth piece for them by saying stupid things like that. They were against the intervention in Iraq btw, an event that many muslims and apologists like to blame for terrorism.
What was the reason 19 civilians were murder by these people in Niger the other day?
Places like India, Indonesia, the Philippines all have problems with Islamic terrorism. Its the ideology that's the problem, not our response to it and definitely not cartoons.
People tend to stick to those who are similar to them. Who’s idea was it to start multiculturalism? It was never going to work without problems.
We should ban it here too. We make far to many concessions for a culture which isn't our own, and is violent when people question or criticise it.
And how far back do they want to go to find blame. Go back far enough and the Islamic world started it all off by invading Spain.
Iraq was almost 20 years ago. That's like British people murdering Germans in the 60s because of WW2 (and that was a FAR worse situation).
So you are in favour of banning speech and freedom of religion?
Wait it's like your saying its not okay to go around murdering random people because they have a different set of beliefs to you?
Not in the civilised world. Seems to be acceptable in the middle east though.

Religion = worshiping make believe 'gods' as a way of controlling people. It has no place in modern society.
Matthew 7:3 said:Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?
Pretty much agree with that.Oh I completely agree. He isn't talking about banning all religions though, he is talking about banning one religion. I've no time for religious extremists of any religion, I've no time for religion personally at all. However I would never support banning any religion. Being able to believe in the sky fairy of your choice should be everyone's right. I would support banning all religious schools and the practising of religion in schools. Children should be taught about the various religions but schools should not play a part in the indoctrination of children. Lets the parents do that.
Whats lunacy is every time we have one if these attacks by our friendly neighbours the outrage is limited.

Imams? Its the book itself
Basically if you don't convert you should be killed, imprisoned etc.
France's crime? Allowing sanctuary to so many terrorists.
So which interpretation is "correct" then? Which books are doctrine and which aren't?There's clearly a flaw in us (as a species) that allows for this kind of madness. I can't even imagine how someone could kill a random person for Islam, but it is what it is. We're a species that will kill someone innocent for God, for their tribe, their clan, and even because of their football team
Yet you ignore other verses that say the opposite. Why cherry pick? It's almost like you have an agenda or something....
It seems to be accepted in the UK and EU too.
I dont see any riots or protests ?
So which interpretation is "correct" then? Which books are doctrine and which aren't?
Clearly you've got the radical imams on one hand referring to one set of verses/books and interpreting them in a way which allows them to send young blokes to blow themselves up or stab young mothers on the street.
The trouble is, ordinary muslims themselves can potentially reach the same conclusion, by picking and choosing which verses/books/supplements to interpret and adhere to.
Sure you can argue that there are other (more peaceful) interpretations, but there's no ignoring the less peaceful interpretations, and their reach. The whole wahabi/Saudi teaching and sponsorship of terrorism is a thing. They call themselves devout muslims. The pray, they read the books and the verses. They interpret them in a way that allows them to sponsor IS and other terrorist organisations.
"Not true muslims?"
