I was asking what the alternative is to religious tolerance.
Attack with automatic rifles and kill everyone you disagree with. Like in Paris this morning.

Yup. France. One of the European countries, according to CleanTheSlate's thoughtless process, that is not suffering from the religious intolerance of his muslim brethren.

How timely. Now, it is ALL on the US media to denounce Islam and treat it like the Klan. It is on them to join together and show every cartoon and satire piece these people were killed over.
This is ALL on the media now.
Or we could ignore it and not give the toddler the attention it craves.
What is 'it'?

Not exactly what CleanTheSlateInSMC said, seems to me that if the Muslims were actually running the laws in France it would have been the French police who shot the newspaper up, and the French police would not be looking for the gunmen. Just because a country has criminals doesn't make it a criminal-run country. We had terrorists blow up a marathon here, doesn't mean we are a country that embraces terrorism.
Disagree. These people are not criminals by any stretch of the imagination, simply breaking laws that require police action and pursuit. These people are jihadist terrorists using their law to spur the reaction of the police. This is just another step toward their goal, and there will be more. If you think that France is not under the gun of Islam to plant Sharia law there, to usurp the laws of France, you are as lost as Clean is.
The attack. I'm sure the talking heads on tv will be going over this ad nauseum for the next couple of days which is just what the attackers want. Just report it and move on.
Ok, but, is that how to over come this, ignore it? Again, the media needs to stand up and speak out, long and hard, about this. And not just because it is their job but also simple self preservation.
But just because someone wants to put it there doesn't mean France will.

The French have a long and glorious history of standing fast and holding their ground to the end, never compromising their ideals or surrendering to anyone or any nation/country/group.![]()

Didn't happen here so all I need to know is that it happened. Doesn't affect my life otherwise.
That is absurd. 9/11 dramatically affected your life. This incident is a lot smaller but, it is of a kind and it does affect your life.
You're right, it did. And what country did 9/11 happen in?
What happened earlier today in France does, and will continue to, affect the US. It will call out the cowardice of the media to make a freedom of speech stand, but probably not. Obama will not call this what it is - an Islamic terrorist attack. It took an hour this morning for the WH to change their call from a crime to a terrorist act. It won't go any further than that.
That affects us as a collective.
Actually the French stood their ground in WW1, they were simply out-maneuvered, out-gunned, and out-fought in WW2. They were ready to refight WW1 all over again and German took advantage of that.
