Its not like they’ve got a recent track record of this kind of thing, is it?
Who’s “they”? Muslims? French people? Men?
The fanatics who do this kind of thing are about as Muslim as I am – they use some misunderstood parts of that religion to fuel their idiotic rage. Tying this kind of incident to one religion just plays into their hands.
Well said Ben. Terrorists are terrorists. It needs no qualification eg, religion or race. This is not an Islamic problem. Take the caliphate that some want to recreate. The last one (not that old) was tolerant of other religions (Baghdad was 40% Jewish after WW1), sexuality (gay relationships welcomed in poetry) and supported high levels of academic achievement. Far more advanced and progressive that our modern western society.
So let’s define these acts for what they really are rather than use incorrect labels.

Moderate Muslims need to fully understand their religion has been hijacked.
Nope, you need to understand that it has not. It’s certainly been abused and taken in vain but to pretend that islam as a whole has been hijacked is absurd.
Well said too. Nice to agree with my Scottish friends!!
