    Rough translations of some of these terrible tweets:
    "10 dead, 5 injured at Charlie Hebdo; you had to pay for your caricatures sooner or later"
    "These sons of a ***** from Charlie Hebdo deserved their death 100 times. Well done"
    "I'm too happy these racists died, I'll laugh at their grave"
    "Charlie Hebdo was attacked … I don't care. But it was well done. You get what you deserve."
    "You're not supposed to wish death to anybody. But Charlie Hebdo deserved it. That's what happens when you play with fire: you get burned."
    "I don't want to sound like a Taliban, but Charlie Hebdo deserved it. They did nothing but provoke the whole world all the time, stop that."

    Yeah there are also those that have made it their mission to spread Islam to European countries and take them over. Its pretty sad how much religion dictate these people's lives.

    One of the cowards picked up his Fila before getting in the Ford Fiesta and fleeing. I guess they changed in that car before getting in the next vehicle. Hope they're caught soon.

    Before muslim radicals took over the news there was a growing concern over the rise of neo nazi activity in Europe. It must be more than just religion for young people to fall into radicalism.

    This reminds me of Hollywood changing the villains in the adaptation of Clancy's The Sum of All Fears from Muslims to Neo Nazis from Europe. It makes me think the "growing concern" was a fabrication just like the script.

    Except it is real and the numbers keep rising just it's taken a backseat in the news dept. It's absolutely out of hand in Russia.

    The attack itself only damages their cause. Demonstrating the lack of intelligence on their part. Awareness of the cartoons is now on the rise due to the attack, will grow in amplitude and perpetuity, and they have furthered the cause to their own ruin.

    Sorry but this just sounds a little too hopeful. If anything the Press will now avoid printing controversial cortoons. The risk of bullets flying into an office won't sit well with Corporate HR. Force garners respect. Respect out of fear is still respect.

    absolutely disgusting, especially considering they were born and rasied in France who opened their resources to them from whereever **** hole they immigrated from.

    The fact that there are so called moderate muslims who support the attack in Europe is disturbing.

    There isn't a thin line here at all, Rocket River. Charlie Hebdo is a satirical magazine, one that has been in existence since the 1970's. Think Mad Magazine with a more political bent. Satire has been a major part of journalism since the dawn of journalism, in my humble opinion. This was a brutal act of terror, one entirely undeserved. Don't like what they publish? Don't read it. That's called freedom of speech.
