(11,065 posts)to commit atrocities for power and control and to oppress a population? Every atrocity "in {insert deity of choice}'s name" isn't really about religion. That's the excuse used by the higher ups to convince the rank and file to do their dirty work for them. And it's worked since the dawn of mankind. They're violent nuts that latched on to the perverted "religious beliefs" of the blood thirsty mullahs, priests, preachers, or whoever runs the organized "church" that convince them that slaughtering people is holy when all it is is basic terroristic acts designed to oppress and control a population for their own perverted ends.
Charlie Hebdo was an obvious target for them, and they knew they were targets. And if CH wasn't doing the "satire" they were doing then a restaurant, market, mall, bus load of people, etc. would be targets just as good. It's what violent nutball terrorists DO... slaughter those that irritate their perverted "religious beliefs" and any other convenient innocents.
Again, it doesn't MATTER which innocents they chose or what perverted excuse they used to slaughter them, it's the FACT that they slaughtered innocents in a terrorist attack.
