It does have an effect on self-censorship. I post cartoons making fun of Jesus all the time, but a post of the Prophet with a bomb on his head will be poofed in short order.

Godobeyer....Saleem Alechem....peace to you, brother. .....As a Muslim....
Can you please explain to us what you believe is in the mind of the perpetrators....?.....I believe it is what I wrote as the topic of my post.

Also...if my speculation is correct. ..what is in the mind of these people to kill 12 people over an insult...?....is it lack of education, ethics, morality....or other reason. ...????

I missed one of the London 7/7 tube bombings by 24 hours, so yeah, it's a question I've pondered. Co-incidentally I missed an IRA pub bombing in Birmingham by 24 hours back in the 1970s. I'm not condoning what the IRA did, but at least they had a political agenda. But what the hell are these Islamics trying to achieve? Their agenda seems to be terror for the sake of terror, a vengeful lashing out at anything different.
It's still politics.

So what are the political aims of Islamic jihadists? Do they want to overthrow corrupt western societies, establish a world-wide caliphate, destroy the "crusaders"? What do you think?

What was the political agenda behind today's outrage?

If you go with Jihad it is a war between good and evil, good being Islam and evil being enemies of Islam. And this makes it both political and religious. However Jihad can be a struggle between good and evil within an individual's soul or the more recent version a struggle between nations.

But in dealing with terrorists it can be hard to actually pin down a specific reason and even if you do it may not be, and usually isn't, the view of the majority of Islam

As to the Crusades, they have a long memory in the middle east and still tell stories about the Crusades and Crusaders in Islam.

True on all counts.

Just heard on the news that the French killed one and arrested two suspects.

Second attack in Paris, one police officer has died, no information as to whether the two attacks are related.

"A man wearing a bullet-proof vest fired at the police woman and a civilian, who is thought to be a council worker, with an automatic rifle, seriously injuring the officer." The police officer has now sadly passed away.
