Although Western media have reported about the many protests against Charlie Hebdo all around the Islamic world, they have failed to point out that, once again, Muslims are conflating Western behavior with Christianity — blaming offensive caricatures of Muhammad on Christianity — without realizing that the satirical magazine habitually pokes fun at Christ and all other religious figures.
In this picture from Palestinian territories, for example, protesters hold up a sign with pictures of the Muslim gunmen who murdered a dozen people at Charlie Hebdo with the caption saying “Expect more from the champions of Islam, O you slaves of the Cross.”
“Slaves of the Cross” is a common epithet Islam and Muslims use to describe Christians, past and present.
At any rate, here again we see how secular Western actions are immediately interpreted as “Christian” actions, and go on to fuel Muslim persecution of Christians, in the context of collective punishment.
john spielman says
I as a follower of Christ Jesus, am Not OFFENDED BY THE CROSS, but I do not consider myself a slave of the cross. Rather I am, or at least, hope I am; a bond slave (voluntarily give up my freedom ) of Christ Jesus.
Paul, the apostle of Christ, said that the CROSS (of Christ) is foolishness for those who are perishing but for us it is LIFE
Zebo says
Naaah,stop nitpicking.
You cannot except people who acceppt quran to have mental access to reasonable knowledge.
+ one has to understand that a religion known for perpetual genozide on christians needs every possible excuse to justify this genozides and keep them going on.
They can’t blame “westerners” and than go and destroy a church-even the dumbest peacefull muslims would realise the logic flaws and violence would be impossible to justify when you blame westerners but kill christians-especially arab christians.
But as soon as you blame christians you have a reason to destroy and everything everywhere is allowed.
btw this is nothing special against christians-they regularly kill bhuddists and hindhus and always find a reason for doing so for more than a 10000l years.They’ll just pull a different reason(blasphemie,unbeliever) out of their ass to do allahs work.

People spoke against Christ until they murdered Him and then lied about His resurrection. They continue to lie and say He never even lived, never did any of the things the Bible tells us He did and said.
It is no surprise that these muslims would accuse Christians of *wrongdoing* (John 15:18-25) even though their real wrong doing is so much worse than drawing cartoons of a false prophet, who was a murdering liar who worshipped the devil and helped build his beast that is islam.
And drawing a cartoon of a false prophet who raped children and murdered those who refused to worship him and his beast of satan is no crime. islam doesn’t define what is a crime.
BC says
MUSLIMS have no concept of secular societies as they live in societies which are totally Islamic like an
ant colony everybody is a Muslim like the ants are all ants. Of course nobody can be a non Muslim a she/she is then an apostate who must be killed. So in spite of all the evidence to the contrary all ‘Westerners’ or infidels are considered to be Christians. this si reinforced by their fundamental hatred of Christianity
mortimer says
Exactly, an ant colony. The ants all behave alike and parasitize or kill alien insects.

I would’ve thought Japanese hornet colony would’ve been a closer analogy:
JS says
They’re not completely off the mark… Freedom and liberty can only flourish in countries inluenced by Christian spirit.
JOSEPH says
And still the world says Islam is a religion of peace, fuzzy bunnies and all things nice. One question. The person about to be beheaded, why are they calm and complacent? Are they drugged up? There is no crying anger or struggle. What is going on?
MKG says
No, they are happy to be finally leaving that hell.
AnneM says
Not suprised. The religion of the devil will attack the religion of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Salah says
They are enraged because millions of Muslims are leaving Islam and freely chosing to become “Slaves of ths Cross.”

Does this really surprise us?
How come muslims around the world have so much time to demonstrate? Can’t they do something more useful than trying to be holier than thou?

From http://shoebat.com/
“Albanian Muslims in Kosovo blocked Christians from entering a certain church. This evil action provoked a Serbian Christian politician named Aleksandar Jablanovic to call the Albanians “savages.” The Albanians are now using this as a justification to start riots in Kosovo. The Albanians attacked security forces and even threw molotov cocktails.”

KCChan says
Not all Muslims are terrorists, but all terriorists are Muslims.
Kephaq says
Islam’s account of Jesus is a pastiche of sometimes mutually conflicting heresies. On the one hand, it takes the super-spiritual Docetic view that Jesus Christ did not die on the cross; on the other, it says he was a merely human prophet.
It looks as well as if the Muslim mindset sees everyone in the West who is not a Muslim or a Jew as a “Christian”–even if he is a Dawkins or Maher or even Stalin. To be honest, it’s a little like where I grew up, where a lot of people were Jewish to one degree or another, and such people described even the village atheist as a “Christian”. Then again, everyone described Spinoza as a Jew, even though he was excommunicated back in 17th century Amsterdam, and folks were wandering about in the secularized fog asking “Who is a Jew?” There, for you young folks out there, is a glimpse of life in the 1950’s and early 1960’s.
Ah, well. The sociologies of both the immediate Postwar world and that of the Middle Ages die hard.

These people are perverts and suffer from self inflicted insanity. Christians are free to come and go anytime. This is called freedom. Muslims can lose their head if they leave their faith. This is called slavery.
