I understand that this is not an easy topic to think and to talk about. But for me one thing is absolutely clear, with no doubt: we can't blame Islam on Charlie Hebdo attack.

I mean, if it were some extremist muslims who did it, it doesn't mean that every muslim is an evil killer and the whole religion is only about killing with no other alternative. No, we must stand away from faulty logic and try to think clearly and to see beyound violence. That is our only hope, if we, as humans, want to quit the vicious circle of violence.

Actually, I guess those who planned the Charlie Hedbo attack indeed want to sharpen anti-islam sentiments in Europe. Why? Because anti-islamistic attitude in Europe means more frustrated european muslims with hurt feelings, which means more recruits for extreme movements. Do we want that?

Personally, I don't belong to any religion. But if some other people have valuable religious traditions, I'm fine with that. I just hope that we could all be moderate, sensible, loving human beings respecting each other. As mentioned in the article linked above, major Muslim movements have already condemned the Charlie Hedbo attack. And I think this is the direction we need to be moving towards: Every religion, tradition and nationality supporting and respecting each other, promoting peaceful and respectful ways of following the tradition.

EDIT: just to make it clear. I did check the IP address from which the comment of "The Last Byzantine" was sent. And yes, the same IP address has been earlier used by a person I know - from an European country. So, I hereby say it only once, strictly and clear: no foolish posting here! As there IS a limit which earns IP block, and posting nasty unfruitful anonymous comments is about getting very close to reaching that limit. You have been warned.
