Rally In Afghanistan Hails Charlie Hebdo Killers As ‘Heroes’
Hundreds in southern Afghanistan rallied to praise the killing of 12 people at the French newspaper Charlie Hebdo, calling the two gunmen “heroes” who meted out punishment for cartoons disrespectful to Islam’s prophet, officials said Saturday.
The demonstrators also protested President Ashraf Ghani’s swift condemnation of the bloody attack on the satirical newspaper, according to the officials in Uruzgan province.
The rally came after worshippers left Friday prayers at a local mosque in Chora district and swelled to several hundred people, said Chora police chief Abdul Qawi.
“The protesters were calling the attackers heroes and were shouting that those who had mocked the Prophet Mohammad were punished,” Qawi said.

“The protesters were calling the attackers heroes and were shouting that those who had mocked the Prophet Mohammad were punished,”
It has nothing to do with religion. Those aren’t real Muslims.

” liberals might try to be true to their principles and ally with dissidents, liberals, leftists and free thinkers within Muslim communities. They might help ex-Muslims who fear that one day they will be murdered for apostasy. They might reflect that a Muslim man will encounter xenophobia from the right, but they will hear no rigorous criticism at university or other leftist institutions of the sexism, anti-semitism, homophobia and bloodlust of militant religion.”

What are you talking about??
This is another far right “pundit” who refuses to acknowledge the role of the rightist in promoting the the very monster his side has created.
His job is to assuage the right and tell them EXACTLY what he wants to hear.

The Guardian is leftwing. The right has created the monster…agreed.

In my opinion..criticism of the far left is not necessarily being rightwing.
At any rate, when I read an article I try to assess it objectively without the prejudice of a right/left filter. Sometimes the people I disagree with the most will say something that makes sense. I thought his views on this issue were worthy of consideration and not at all similar to what I am hearing from the right.

No, it’s not.
Being right wing is being right wing.

“My friend and comrade Maajid Nawaz was a jihadi before he converted to liberalism and understands the totalitarian mind. He says that people still do not realise that radical Islamists do not just want to impose their taboos at gunpoint. They want to “create a civil war” so that European Muslims accept that they can only live in the caliphate; to encourage the rise of the white far-right so that ordinary coexistence becomes impossible. If they win one demand, as they are winning in Britain, then they will up the tension and move to another.”

the only thing worse than a religious bigot is a religious bigot who is too stupid to use his own words to express his profound ignorance.
that would be you.

Respecting peaceful Muslims and their religious figures is not caving into a demand of those on the far-right.
Apocalypse January 12th, 2015 at 13:55
I don’t disagree with that. I interpreted what I quoted to mean that the jihadist want to create a strong rightwing backlash…making life hard for Muslims…pushing moderate Muslims to the radicals…with the overall aim of civil war.

Until you have a comment history, try being a little more clear in your writing. We don’t want people misinterpreting things.
