Taking a life because of an expression you are not even being badgered to see or recognize is clearly an injustice at the highest level no question about it (some lives in what happened in France were taken even without choosing to make such expressions). However, if we want to talk about the issue of tolerance to freedom of expression you might be surprised by how much of the intolerance you see in Muslim countries to such expressions  is about the form not the content. On the other hand I would see much less problem with the intolerance in western countries to any questioning of the Holocaust if that intolerance was as much limited to the sarcastic or joking type about the issue. Actually, the last time I checked it seemed that the stand against the freedom of expression by some Western countries in that goes beyond that of a tolerance issue to a prosecution and some writers are wanted just for expressing views questioning the Holocaust.   

Any Muslim thinks that his prophet accepts from him to shed blood or even inflict any kind of harm on another person just because of a cartoon, is showing a deep ignorance of the Prophet that very probably could exceed by far any ignorance of the maker of these cartoons himself about the Muslims Prophet.   

They may think they can out smart the world and its intelligence agencies playing this strategy of multiple identities and dividing the good and bad roles accordingly. But they actually only out smarted themselves and it is better for the killing and cruelty to stop because these atrocities are being added to the tab of the whole group and not only the part showing these bad actions. The idiots don't know that those on the other side invented the good-bad combination strategy in here.  

But, if true, is this the first time they used such strategy with a short sighted view to the future consequences it can bring? Or is this a repetition to how they also thought that the consequences of things they caused in Iraq wont affect them but then paid a long term heavy price for it when the United States found it hard to bring itself to help them against the dictator when they needed that help? 

There are things that seem to suggest with significant probability that some in Syria has been playing the dual identity game using the group currently in the news to carry their savage criminality without it being counted on them. If true, then they would be very stupid to expect such a game to pass on the CIA and its equivalent agencies in other countries. While innocent people shouldn't be held responsible for such games played by these groups, it would still be more helpful to the later to let the dictator's regime be on the lesser scale of morality. Or could it be that they played a show of the abduction and saving of the NBC reporter claiming it on the dictator and think it really passed on the intelligence agencies of the world?

You want to know how the religious standing of a group like the one currently in the news these days may feel to a Muslim not sick or savage like those in a group like that? What if that same group was claiming that they fight with instead of against the American forces? How directly contradictory to the facts such a claim would be? That is the level of direct contradiction and externality to the religion their religious standing claims feel. Even if we start from a level away from why they are fighting and killing, where in Islam it says that someone can be held responsible for the actions of others? Where does it say that you can take hostages let alone killing them? More than that, as it relates to their recent savagery crime, killing a messenger has always been showing the level of criminality and savagery everywhere. A news reporter is like a messenger with the additional benefit to you of being a messenger for you instead of just to you, doing you the favor of carrying your voice to the outside.     

Those who preferred the sewer- 2

If it were me in your position I would have asked what argument was intended to be supported by conveying such things. Otherwise I wouldn't allow to be dragged this low for no reason with a thing like that.

Also, if you couldn't see who is top and who is bottom and the level of inferiority feelings and desperation here then there is a serious deficiency with you. The conveying of the message itself here carries more significance than, and reverses, the intention behind the mere content of the message. 

You depended on the interpretations of a kid in a different house for what he is witnessing  through the walls for something like that on someone in my position? Did some kind of a cancer treatment depend on that? Otherwise, this is not even a question of lack of morality and rumor loving. This is the behaviour of someone who is held hostage to the shallowness he is unable to escape in the world.
