Thank you Maniparna. I guess looking at the way things are going, this might be an eternal issue. And maybe it goes on for generations to come and generations before too..

Very well said Vinay. It’s time that we should stand together against these or, I think, it would be too late :-(

In principle I do agree Shweta, maybe they did take it a bit far. But they have done it with other religions as well.

If it were me, if I did not like something, I would stop looking at it, start avoiding it and maybe write an article about it. I mean I do agree that there are a lot of occurrences in this world that hurt me., But my question is, if I let these things hurt me, I am making it so easy for someone else to take control of my life and make me feel bad. But the bigger picture fails miserably. I am not advocating being thick skinned, but I would certainly endorse our own self control.

As for what happened at Charlie Hebdo, I think it was violation of rights of all accord! If it is not Charlie Hebdo, some other company will start and the radical views keep coming. As for the idea of these people trying to kill them all.. I would be really be afraid of a world where it becomes so easy to establish intolerance and fundamentalism..

Yeaaaa .. I was looking through the magazine, they have made a satire of every religious belief. As their wikipedia page says, they are a magazine whose definition is anti religious satire. The company is licensed and I am sure there are enough laws in the government for a slander. I think it is time that we rise above the misconception of religion and look at the bigger picture – man making. It makes no sense at all to keep oneself constrained to the cultural cuffs when there are so many boundaries to breach and so many achievements to make. It is as if religion is acting police and these messengers take the liberty to kill!! Gosh! It is such a disgrace!

True mate.. It is very very unfortunate that life takes the last precedence while it should be of the prime importance. Yea and it is scary that it has gotten so easy these days. It as if the guns and ammos are available on the streets, organized cartels that support terrorism, drugs and what not. I shudder to think where this world is headed to!!

I agree with you completely Amitabha. The insecurity sure has taken an ugly shape and a disgraceful one..

I think religion is a safe excuse which people have been using for generations. It never makes any sense and it never has. It is people in the end, people with life and blood. Someone else decides to take that life and act god? What would the prophet or pope or the gods say when they see these very messengers commit such activities in the name of god?

I am not a particularly religious person, but with the way things are going, these perpetrators are making sure that you lose faith in religion cos it can breed sentiments like these..

Even I was Alok. I was shocked! It is very unfortunate that such things keep happening very consistently. I mean what had these people who died to do with it? The policemen and the other people there were the unfortunate victims. Who accounts for their deaths? And it is a human being in the end, it is not a sentiment which is being slandered. If they were so opposed by it why not go to the courts and sue these people. Why instead go ahead framing own laws and killing people.

Is death the only answer? I am not satisfied with something doesn’t mean that I can carry a gun and shoot that someone who made me feel bad right? Such a disgrace :(

I just want to quote Voltaire for those people who have no other option to establish their point but violence, “I may not agree with what you say, but I’ll defend to the death your right to say it”.

There is a difference between Satire and Insult, no matter what Koran is a holy scripture and it was insulting and hurting sentiments, I again say what happened is not justified but what was published all these years was also not right.

What Religious Sentiments ? Does the Heinous Act by these Barbarians in the name of Islam does not hurt the religious sentiments of their community ?

I sincerely hope Prophet Muhammad is reborn and catch the collar of these infidel dogs and say – “I do not want this !”

Well we cannot discuss about freedom of speech as anything can hurt the feelings and sentiments of anyone, but things should always be taken in positive way….
