The recent Muslim extremist attack on the satirical magazine in France was a complete abomination and evil act as was the attack and murder of Lee Rigby the soldier who was beheaded in the name of God.
Recently Pope Francis spoke out on his visit to phillipines. He warned that respect for religions should be a matter of course and to mock religion in any format was abusing the right to free speech. No one of sane mind would support the murderous attack on the staff of Charlie hebdo but at the same time one cannot stand back and accept full scale insults and disrespect against religious beliefs of all religions. The magazine has indeed previously insulted the Christian and Catholic church and Pope Francis has indicted this in his recent speech.
He who has not sinned cast the first stone but let's just stop throwing stones around glass buildings ...

Pope Francis: 'one cannot make fun of faith' -
Pope Francis tells journalists there are limits to freedom of expression and that following the Charlie Hebdo attack in Paris 'one cannot make fun of faith'. On a plane from Sri Lanka to the Philippines, the largest Catholic majority country in Asia, the pope says freedom of speech is a fundamental human right but 'every religion has its dignity'
