Je Suis? Je Suis? .............Je Suis??
Are we so cruel to kill someone for something they said, which we found offensive?
Are we so insensitive to comment on someone's religion which they hold dear to their heart?
Are we so hypocrite to hide our dirty work under the pure sheath of the religion?
Are we so blind to see the limitations of the freedom to express?
.........We can't disrespect somebody's religion and term it as freedom of expression and expect a no reaction.
Also, killing is never an answer to any thing and it will never be. You just proved the people that they were right to publish such insulting things about you........
We are not gaining here anything, except for hatred and sadness for fellow humans. What is happening to the world? Why are we losing our humanity?
I'm sure we were never taught to demean something for which they strongly stand for. I'm sure we were taught not to harm others then why are we getting down to kill others?
Religion teaches us to respect, love, accept and tolerate humans in the most non-violent way possible, then why are we killing in its name??
We are given ''Freedom of Expression'' to express our views and opinions freely to show the people different sides and perspectives to a story but not to demean them. There are invisible inhibitions to everything, so does Freedom. Nothing is absolute here, didn't you know that? People are sensitive, then why are failing to realize it? Why we are expecting them to take something sportingly, which they regard as their blasphemy?
Have we failed to realize that we all are different? No one's right and wrong here. Both the sides did what they felt was ''correct'', because they thought the other was "wrong''. A clash of opinions is what I will call it here, which resulted in loss of lives which we were not meant to be lost.....
Fear. Remorse. Hatred.....is all we're felt with. Now, we're divided again...the world is divided again, when it was already falling apart. We're losing our faith in humanity and its religion and don't know anymore, in what and where should we place our faith and belief.
Sometimes, it feels that we don't even know what we stand for?
What have we become?
What is left of us?
........What am I?........Je Suis?......
And if the answer is ''Human'', I am hardly interested to be that.
P.S. - This a subjective opinion. It may be right or not. Please let it be just some random article.

Why should I respect those that NEVER respected my religion....those who ALWAYS insulted other religions?
BUT... they ( the publication) didn't 'Insulted" ... they always showed the "extremes", not only on religions (all of them, not just that one who find to revenge like that) but also on politics or showbusiness... and everywhere where there is demagogy and lies, they pointed them ... it's a satira ...
Why should we all be blind?
When the world was falling apart?
All I don't understand is WHY should I be like them? If they mock God's name, telling us that they kill in his name...how more will they mock us?
As long those people have Middle Age's mind and dogmas and behaviour, exploiting with contemporary means the ignorance of people, they should be exposed...
Or else...
This is also my random opinion...
And....if it was not about murdring....I would agree with you...
I never killed a muslim ( I should kill all!!!!!) who said that Jesus was not God's son ... Christians BELIEVE that...and believing otherwise, it's a blasphemy...
We Christians don't do that???
but...I mentioned the religion, only because it is the main reason we are separated in this world... and now, some people exploit the ignorance of poor and without hope people in the name of religion, for their own interests...
Religion is the only mask that can cover so many awful actions, without the common people to understand the real reasons!...
No...it's not about the religion...I have so many muslim friends that I really love, even we never totally agree when it comes about religion...
I just said that I never felt to kill them for that...
