The two key statements. The President of Egypt talks of reforming Islam, and to be honest that's a proper sentiment, however I don't think Islam has a Martin Luther individual who is going to hammer their version of the march to worms. Chances are that individual would be killed fairly quickly by the extremists.
I don't know if Islam can reform the extremists out, it just feels like too many of them are in positions of supreme power.
As far as the drawings. I looked back and that magazine has put up fairly satirical drawings of the Pope, of political figures of other religious figures. They're fairly equal opportunity in terms of who they go after.
Overall its a sad day.
Hopefully they catch these #######s and hang them I know that France doesn't have the death penalty, but there's nothing the matter with shooting these creeps 68 times in the face as they try to escape.
