A message to DU's barbarians and the cognitively challenged

Reading the many threads that have emerged since the Charlie Hebdo attacks has prompted me to write this message.

REAL WORDS (!!!) from 'respected' international leaders as well as common posters hiding in anonymity have proclaimed that lives like yours are what are responsible for the awful attacks in France and Belgium and Syria, and well...all over the place...

I hear you. It's unfair. I stand with you.

The invocation of your lives as fonts of evil is just a reaction to outrageous events that must be emotionally processed.

No one here would ever intentionally and with malice propagate prejudice and bigotry toward you.

This will pass. Until it does, let us do what is expected of us in silent meditation,

Well, honestly, if meditation conflicts with your spiritual views...

You can just be silent.

It's a good thing. It's expected,

Thank you for your service in this soon to be forgotten public flogging.
