French satirical paper Charlie Hebdo attacked in Paris

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-15550350

"The offices of the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo in Paris have been destroyed in a petrol bomb attack.

It comes a day after the publication named the Prophet Muhammad as its "editor-in-chief" for its next issue................"

".........Mr Charbonnier, also known as Charb, said he did not see the attack on the magazine as the work of French Muslims, but of what he called "idiot extremists"....."

Of course it had nothing to do with Islam.

The head of the French Council of the Muslim Faith, Mohammed Moussaoui, also condemned the attack.

It was nice seeing this statement in the article.

Prominent muslims denouncing attacks of this nature are too few and far between.

ETA: Unfortunately, the same article quotes several people stating the attack has nothing to do with Islam, as Pete pointed out. IMHO, if Muslims want to truly promote their faith as a "religion of peace", they should acknowledge the religion-based motive for the attack and then explain why the attack was evil with supporting citations from their religious texts.

Of course, you can't cite what is not there - and this may be the problem - I'm no scholar on Islam.

T-Rock - you out there?

Naming Mohammed as the editor in chief sounds like the French version of Monty Python. What's next, The Ministry of Silly Fatwahs?
