Tim McVeigh had God on his side, too.

Actually, I take that back. There's plenty of out cry against this nonsense, just not enough.

And wait a second Tim McVeigh reportedly abandoned religion before the bombings. So I guess we can just blame that on being nuts.

This, I like:

I call on Muslims to stage demonstrations that denounce this aggression. I urge Muslim Imams and leaders to take all the necessary actions to denounce the incident, to reassure the Europe community, to actively participate in protecting Europe media institutions against any threat and to denounce extremism and terror.

I think I would disagree with you if I understood what you meant.

While you're at it, you could also call on other people of Algerian descent, people who drive black cars, and foster children to denounce the aggression and reassure the European community. The killers were members of those groups too, and it makes just as much sense.

You speak as if there is a difference between that and fundamentalism of any sort.

No one thinks that anyone who was mocked by the cartoons has some special obligation to denounce anyone else. That magazine mocked everyone.

Indeed; I've always loved Charlie Hebdo's satirical take on foster children.

David Koresh created enough for both of them. Are we really going to play moral equivalency chicken? It's the same god, man. How do you get around that? It's the same God of Abraham.

That's shallow data.
