I can't totally agree with Bill Donohue, because what I don't see is muslims angry at the taken of innocent life during terrorist attacks. Bill Donohue said "Stephane Charbonnier, the paper’s publisher, was killed today in the slaughter. It is too bad that he didn’t understand the role he played in his tragic death." But there are thousands of people who die at the hands of terrorist who have absolutely no role in their death. For no reason to any rational human being. They are deemed as infidels or heretics or fall victims of revenge killings and where is the outrage? I don't know if how press handles things but it seems the outrage is over bad jokes and caricatures not human life.

If Bill Donohue wants to implicate Stephane Charbonnier in his own death than maybe he should implicate hypocrites and terrorist that drive people like Charbonnier to loose respect for religion altogether. Who knows maybe Stephane Charbonnier might have done things differently in his life if his view of religion wasn't tainted by those hypocrites and terrorists.
