Many Islamic bodies have been attempting to justify the cold blooded butchery of innocent Charlie Hebdo cartoonists. They claim Charlie Hebdo disrespected Islamic values.
The moment you imply that, you are insinuating that the magazine needed some form of punishment or censure. I do not agree to that.
If I am not a Muslim, I do not live under Islamic laws. Therefore for me, and other non-Muslims, publishing pictures of Prophet Mohamed is not blasphemy or disrespecting Islam. It is just a form of freedom of expression, a necessary component of any society if they are to openly debate issues.
It is wrong for anyone, to impose limits on our liberties because of their rules, not our rules. If you kill us for not following your values, may I ask, would it be right for us to kill you for not respecting our values of liberty. We hold our values dear, the very same way you hold your values dear, if not more so.
No one should ever take our lives, simply for upholding our values as free humans. Liberty is not an option. It is a necessity.
Charlie Hebdo did not commit one iota of wrong.
