No that would be a stupid answer because we know that it is hogwash. Firstly, we know that the overwhelmingly vast majority of muslims do not turn psychotic in the face of cartoons. Secondly, we know that learning the Koran acts as a defense against violence. Being taught the koran at madrassa is negatively correlated with becoming radicalized. thirdly, we know that Coulibaly, for example, came to Islam late. He had already accrued several convictions for violent and drug related crimes before he was 18. A psychologist reports he had an immature and psychotic personality. He was converted to radical Islam during a spell in prison for armed robbery, prior to that he had probably never even seen a Koran. In these respects he follows a fairly typical profile. He was allegedly introduced to Islam by Djamel Begal. Begal, a 'french' Algerian ... and we all know why Algerians are fucked off don't we? ... and erstwhile family man who worked for a homeless charity in the UK, had been arrested and tortured in Dubai while traveling to Afgahnistan in 2000. There was no evidence he was involved in any criminal activities. Tortures included anal rape, urethral insertions, ripping out finger nails, mock executions, force feeding, sleep deprivation and so on. The torture went on and on under the influence of pain enhancing hallucinogenic drugs for months. He was later returned to france where he was convicted on terrorism charges without recourse to a lawyer and imprisoned for ten years. Wikileaks would later release communications from the french judge who convicted Begal admitting that the evidence against him was insufficient. Why was Begal radicalized? Well, it was probably the words in a silly book rather than the torture and imprisonment he was subjected to with impunity and Frances colonial history. I mean an idiot might think so anyway. Fourthly, Coulibaly was actually recorded explaining his motivations: "Every time, they try to make you think Muslims are terrorists. I was born in France. If they hadn't been attacked elsewhere I wouldn't be here. I'll tell them to stop attacking the Islamic State, stop unveiling our women, stop putting our brothers in prison for everything and anything. You're the ones who elected your governments, and the governments never hid their intentions to be at war in Mali or elsewhere." So whats with Mali then? Like many African countries Mali's society was ripped apart by French brutality and was conquered in the 1800s. A series of coups and military interventions and Frances' thoroughly evil colonial taxation system has ensured it remains under French control directly or by proxy ever since. Last time the French bombed peasants in Mali was in 2013. What a bunch of wankers. Date: Tue, 20 Jan 2015 12:50:25 -0500 Subject: Re: Why was nobody murdered because of this cartoon?

Well, the media certainly didn't need to work very hard to do that! In recent days it has been remarkably easy to depict Islamic culture as dehumanizing. > The wankers at Charlie Hebdo are part of that. Of course they should be free to do it, but its no wonder this marginalized sector feels angry about it. Feeling angry is the natural state for Muslims. In the thirteenth century Islamic culture was the most advanced and progressive on the planet, but it's been straight downhill ever since, and today finding something to be offended about at is the only thing Islamic culture is still really really good at. > The media now presents the story as though white french people should be afraid of Algerians. This has nothing to do with Algeria, the French or Charlie Hebdo, this has to do with Islamic values. Charlie Hebdo isn't even the worst or most idiotic Islam vs cartoon war. Back in 2005 it was Danish cartoons not French cartoons that cause violent riots and set Muslim nitwits off on a murder spree that ended up killing more than 200 people. Let me know if you think the cartoons deserved such a violent reaction, they were originally in Dutch but you can view them here with their English translation: http://www.aina.org/releases/20060201143237.htm John k Clark -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
