        @rgay Well they did stick to cartoons and 12 of their cartoonists were murdered by people who shared the ideology that editorial criticized

        I... didn't ask for any information on Hebdo. And I am capable of understanding what satire is. I know racism when I see it. @jptormey

        @rgay ....the people being criticised are not Muslims but atheists who show respect for and give way to religious beliefs they don't share

        @rgay @marisa I'm always confused why conversations go to political correctness rather than cultural sensitivity (understanding).

        @pretavoyager @rgay it's nice to know where one stands, and what one stands for. If it wasn't clear before, it certainly is now for Charlie.

        @pretavoyager @rgay easier to spot lack of cultural sensitivity or understanding when political correctness dropped. Tho, the cartoons ...

        @pretavoyager @rgay the cartoons were/are such a clear illustration of that editorial, it's bizarre to me that people needed it spelled out.

        @marisa @rgay only just saw the latest. The last thing the world needs right now is more tension. Not my cup of tea.
