A good friend just rang me to tell me that his account on "Shooting Australia" [a firearms/shooters site] has been blocked without the courtesy of an explanation, presumably because he had the audacity to post "Je suis Charlie" on their Politics forum.

I think that they've let their powder get wet!!

I've not rad all the posts but may have missed something in the discussion. From what I have read Killarneys earlier comments about the characteristics of Charlie sit closest to my own. I share some common ground with the views they may have been expressing but I don't see how those views can be expressed without unnecessary insult to those muslims who ar not jihadists (catholics who don't support covering up child sex abuse etc). I may not agree with their religious views, I may not respect their concept of a god but I don't see a place for unecessary picking at them.

What I've read of Charlies content is reminiscent of bullies with a clever wit and skill at mental abuse who pick and pick at an opponent until that opponent snaps and strikes out. It does not make the striking out OK but it does not make the one using words (or cqrtoons) the victim either

Je ne suis pas Charlie

Jihadists are vile thugs, likewise those who use mental abuse as an ongoing tool for their own ends are not all that far away in nature.

The real problem is Multiculturalism. We were a much more cohesive, trusting and happy society before we decided to let all the immigrants that simple can't build their own successful societies into ours. It is not our responsibility to solve the worlds problems. immigrants should GO HOME. Everyday I see more and more crime caused by immigrants, from drug shipments to extremey violent crime. The Swedish Crime institute recently demonstrated that many immigrant groups had rates of violent crime more than 4 times that of Swedes themselves. Australia is too PC to publish such figures, however is it known that many Asian groups are much more involved in drug crime.
I never see immigrants contributing to society except where it benefits their own group. Migrants simply aim to bludge off white Australians, or simply make as much money as possible and drive around in their Mercedes. My vote is to deport immigrants ASAP.

@Steelie,

<<To say I am heavenly is going a little too far>>
Nevertheless, Steelie, if you are in the general vicinity of heaven as your response seems to indicate. Tell us, any sitings of those 72 virgins yet?

I mean, there could not be too many more deserving souls than you after your services --above and beyond the call of duty --to Hamas and Hezbollah and a hell of a lot of other halal causes!

Seriously, mate. keep in touch and let us know how you go …if those virgins be good lookers I may consider converting, myself, and plagiarizing some of your old posts to gain merit

Cheers

I must say I find Charlie Hebdo work disgusting, ugly and unhelpful. In saying that he has shown far more courage and consistency than most progressives who have for years demonstrated total hyprocrsisy in trashing Christ, His teachings and followers. Very sad and ironic that the ones who have defended the religion of peace for so long and encouraged its immigration into the West have not been spared. Its only the start folks even if the hundreds of cases are 'lone wolves'who have been operating for 1400 years. I dare say it will be to much to ask the Q&A hypocrites to swallow their filthy pride and take the smirks off their faces.

as a side it would be very interesting to find out how much legal aid and welfare these murderers have received from the tax payers of France over the last 10 years. All well spent money. I suppose it lined the pockets of those with law degrees.
