Je Suis Charlie?

Okay I've got a unique view here.  As an American the attacks in Paris last week do not shock me.  I am from a country where school children are slaughtered by their classmates or members of their communities. An act like this is horrid yes but it is by no means close to what has happened in the US. I do not in any way condone the attacks and hostage situations but I do find some of the things that Charlie Hebdo published to be rather unwise. Yes freedom of speech, no to being blatantly bigotist to not only Islam but to other religions as well, that is common human decency.  Now again the Islamic community will suffer because of a few extremists.  The racism that will stem from this will no doubt be great, and to anyone who is unaware Muslims view jihadists the same way Christians would look at Hitler, or Westboro Baptists.  I am sincerely sorry for the deaths of all of the slain, especially those not even involved with the Journal.  It is a tragedy and no one has any right to attack and kill another human being, no matter what.  I send my thoughts and prayers to the families who are grieving for the loss of brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers, sons, daughters, husbands and wives. This is something that should have never happened, but I beg you to look further than the media coverage.  This attack was carried out by men with a twisted view of a peaceful religion, to people who wrote a satirical magazine, and then it was carried out into the public with hostage situations and police officer deaths.  The people with Charlie Hebdo were completely within their rights to publish whatever they want, France is a country of liberty, no matter how distasteful the content might have been, it was nothing to kill over. I find overreactions to be proof that a person is not confident in what they are involved in whether it be a relationship, job or religion.  To conclude this was a horrible event that shouldn't have happened, mais je ne suis pas charlie, je suis France, je suis les familles des morts, je suis l'amour conquiert la haine, je suis la police, je suis les écrivains, et je suis l'épicerie clients. je suis vie.
