This isn't rocket science. Ignore something that offends you and get on with your day.
Violence solves nothing and now these people who simply drew comics are dead and their families are left to grieve. It's simply ridiculous what some people think is a proper response to something like a comic.

I can't say that I disagree with you. And I am sure most of the 4 million Muslims in France have been doing a good job of ignoring it.
Violence is definitely not a proper response, but to me there are 2 issues here. The violence/potential terrorism, and the fact that it is causing otherwise reasonable people to support hateful literature. You are simply saying that it should be ignored, which is fair; but many others are saying it should be revered which I think its wrong.
