Reactions to Charlie Hebdo
The Charlie Hebdo shootings have provoked a storm of sensationalist reactions from opportunists across the spectrum. At Islam21c we have been working hard to sift through the rhetoric and find reasoned analysis from all quarters – links are available below to read. Don’t forget to like, comment and share!

We also direct your attention to the seminal report written by Prof. Arun Kundnani since empirically-refuted connections are being made left, right and centre, between these shootings and the shooters’ incidental ideology – read the ground-breaking report that shows that Extremism does NOT cause terrorism: A Decade Lost; Rethinking Radicalisation and Extremism

But you have the free speech to insult homosexuals by calling their sexuality a scourge..

If someone tried to take your free speech away I would defend you. But you don’t want free speech for those who say things you find offensive
There should be nothing free from ridicule but the innocence of children or the victims of crime. Religion is completely made up to assist us with consciousness of our own mortality. We die, that’s it. Enjoy life while you can… but that’s it
I have respect for everything real and living, the Earth and all People whatever their color belief or creed ………As for god or god’s (little “g”) prophets or any other fairy tale deity or other man made idol…It is a load of crap,rubbish B/S or whatever word describes nonsense ….God save us from religion all 4,200+ of them …Peace and love ….
