"Most people around the world are suffering in some way; because you suffer too does that give you the right to gun down 12 people?"

I agree with you, but that don't change the fact I can't be happy because someone is murdered.

"Nothing was done to them personally; they took a satiristic cartoon the wrong way. Either way, all around the world; murder of innocents is illegal. It's irrelevant if you feel someone insulted your religion, that doesn't give you the right to murder.
The magazine in question also took stabs at other religions but you don't see anyone from those murdering them."

Do you really think they did that only because of these satiric cartoons ? Really ? Don't you think it is a "message" they give about something bigger ?
