Gunmen Kill 12, Wound 7 At French Magazine HQ

An anonymous reader writes: A pair of gunmen have stormed the office of French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, killing 12 people and wounding seven more. The magazine had recently published a cartoon of ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, and witnesses say the gunmen shouted, "we have avenged the Prophet Muhammad," before leaving. "Four of the magazine's well-known cartoonists, including its editor-in-chief Stephane Charbonnier were reported among those killed, as well as at least two police officers. Mr Charbonnier, 47, had received death threats in the past and was living under police protection." The attackers engaged police in a gunfire outside the building, then fled in a car. At the time of this writing, they are still at large. Currently, the BBC has the most information out of English news outlets. French speakers can consult the headline at Le Monde for more current news.

Cool, it's an instance of lazy execution in the context of "lazy" executions. Your move, atheists.

Seriously, you cannot kill as a Christian, because 1. you can't kill 2. being Christian is defined by your actions, not your label. So you might wear a tiara, it does not matter.

This killing is permitted by Islam? There is a relatively short book that underwent much less aggressive editing than the bible, which can answer that question, personally I don't know.
