Also, lots of people seem to confuse race and religion these days apparently. Islam is a religion, not a race, although some people seem to differ. It's not because generally, racists spew hate speech against Islam and use it as a way to be racist without actually being racist, that everyone who is sceptical about Islam is a racist tnuc.
I'm fairly against religion in general. I once made some negative comments about Islam and was called a racist. The line of reasoning was that "Islam is such a big part of Arabian culture, insulting Islam is insulting Arabian culture and thus their race". I also made some negative comments about Christianity, which has been a huge part of the majority of cultures on the European continent for the last couple of centuries. By that line of reasoning I'm pretty much a racist against the whole European continent too. Guess I'm a shitlord.

"Anonymous from around the world have decided to declare war against you, terrorists” a purported member of the hacktivist group said in a video uploaded to YouTube, referring to the killers responsible for the attack on French satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo. Speaking in French on Anonymous’s Belgian channel, the cybervigilante warned terrorists, “We will track all your online activity, we will close your accounts on every social network.”
A post to text board Pastebin associated with the message states that “We will fight always and everywhere the enemies of freedom of speech…Freedom of speech and opinion is a non-negotiable thing, to tackle it is to attack democracy. Expect a massive frontal reaction from us because the struggle for the defense of those freedoms is the foundation of our movement.”
The video message to the Charlie Hebdo attackers roughly translates to “We will find you until the very last one, destroy you. You killed innocents. You won’t bring Shariah to our democracies. We won’t let your stupidity destroy our freedom of press.”
For now, the #OpCharlieHebdo message is merely a call to action from a sole hacker, though it has received support from other Anonymous-related figures. The loose, decentralized group known as Anonymous does not have a traditional chain of command. Nothing may happen unless others aligned with the cause heed the call.
Late last year, members of Anonymous declared a “full-scale cyber war” against ISIS, and reports indicated the group planned DDOS attacks on countries offering aid to the terrorist group. News of those attacks never came, though. We’ll be watching for any #OpCharlieHebdo actions.
Unfortunately, the Internet largely serves to amplify the message of fear touted by terrorists. 24-hour updates and gruesome images from the scene can make people worry they could become victims, even if the likelihood is infinitesimal. While cybervigilantism has its risks, Anonymous’ could potentially use the power of the Internet crowd to create additional consequences for those seeking to suppress liberty through violence.
their magazine was on the edge of bankruptcy,
only selling 30 000 copies of each 60 000 print run
this next 1 000 000 copy issue should see it flourish again.

French Muslims targeted by revenge attacks after Charlie Hebdo shootings By Anthony Torres
10 January 2015
The shootings at Charlie Hebdo have encouraged the most reactionary forces to target innocent Muslims in France, after years of incitement of anti-Muslim sentiments by politicians and the media.
Houses of worship have been targeted across France in recent days. Wednesday night, one suspect was arrested after having sprayed graffiti markings such as “Death to Arabs” on the doors of the mosque in Poitiers, according to La Nouvelle République.
On Friday morning, further Islamophobic graffiti was found on the Bayonne mosque. Slogans such as “Charlie liberty,” “Assassins,” and “Dirty Arabs” were painted on the mosque’s doors and trashcans.
Explosions were heard Thursday near the mosque in Le Mans. The next morning, police found a training grenade inside the mosque and a bullet that had been shot through one of its windows.
Grapeshot was also fired at the doors of a prayer room at Port-la-Nouvelle, without claiming any victims.
A kebab stand next to the mosque at Villefranche-sur-Saône was blown over by an explosion, while in Corsica the head and internal organs of a boar were attached to the entryway of a Muslim prayer room in Corte.
Individuals have also been physically threatened or intimidated. A high school student was jeered and beaten at the ceremonies marking a minute of silence for the Charlie Hebdo shootings at the Oiselet high school at Bourgoin-Jallieu.
In a street in Caromb, a car belonging to a Muslim family was shot multiple times, according to Le Figaro, though no one was wounded.
These Islamophobic acts testify to the dangerous racist climate being stoked in France by the Socialist Party (PS) government and the promotion of the neofascist National Front.
