Yeah. That was reported on Sky News this morning. The thing about violent thugs is that they don't usually enquire as to a person's religion before they kill them.
who cares what affiliation they had (or have claimed to have had)?
did you do a political breakdown of the 9/11 victims?
looked more like the north hollywood bank shootout.
He looks like one of those Sikh Manchester United fans who are seen at Old Trafford at every United home match. The TV cameras during live games always pick them up.
Always watching from their second row seats behind the players’ bench, Simon, Craig, Jimmy, Kuk Singh, and Satta have attended matches at Old Trafford and abroad for over two decades. They are such fixtures, that the men were the stars of an advertising campaign for pre-season games:
Unlike violent, barbaric Islam, Sikhism IS a peaceful religion.
Hebdo gunmen 'surrounded' as special forces and police helicopters close in on French town after two men 'armed with Kalashnikovs and rocket launchers' rob petrol station
Two armed suspects wanted over the Charlie Hebdo massacre were today surrounded by terror police in northern France. The men, believed to be brothers Cherif (left) and Said (right) Kouachi, have reportedly barricaded themselves in a house in Crépy-en-Valois, around 50 miles north-east of Paris. Officers are said to have found a Molotov cocktail and jihadist flag in their car after it was abandoned in the town. Police helicopters are hovering overhead and special forces have been deployed to the area after the pair allegedly robbed a nearby petrol station (centre) close to Villers-Cotterêt. The station attendant claimed the suspects drove off in a white Renault Clio with covered number plates in the direction of Paris with 'exposed Kalashnikovs and rocket launchers' inside the vehicle.

Islam Question and Answer
Ruling on one who insults the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)
.............
The ruling on one who insults the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)
The scholars are unanimously agreed that a Muslim who insults the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) becomes a kaafir and an apostate who is to be executed. This consensus was narrated by more than one of the scholars, such as Imaam Ishaaq ibn Raahawayh, Ibn al-Mundhir, al-Qaadi ‘Iyaad, al-Khattaabi and others. Al-Saarim al-Maslool, 2/13-16
This ruling is indicated by the Qur’aan and Sunnah.
........................
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) sometimes chose to forgive those who had insulted him, and sometimes he ordered that they should be executed, if that served a greater purpose. But now his forgiveness is impossible because he is dead, so the execution of the one who insults him remains the right of Allaah, His Messenger and the believers, and the one who deserves to be executed cannot be let off, so the punishment must be carried out.
Al-Saarim al-Maslool, 2/438
Insulting the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) is one of the worst of forbidden actions, and it constitutes kufr and apostasy from Islam, according to scholarly consensus, whether done seriously or in jest. The one who does that is to be executed even if he repents and whether he is a Muslim or a kaafir. If he repents sincerely and regrets what he has done, this repentance will benefit him on the Day of Resurrection and Allaah will forgive him.
Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah (may Allaah have mercy on him) wrote a valuable book on this matter, entitled al-Saarim al-Maslool ‘ala Shaatim al-Rasool which every believer should read, especially in these times when a lot of hypocrites and heretics dare to insult the Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) because they see that the Muslims are careless and feel little protective jealousy towards their religion and their Prophet, and they do not implement the shar’i punishment which would deter these people and their ilk from committing this act of blatant kufr.
And Allaah knows best. May Allaah send blessings and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad and all his family and companions.

Security checks at British ferry ports and Eurostar terminals have been ramped up in the wake of yesterday's gun massacre in Paris.
Downing Street said there was no specific threat to Britain, but extra measures had been put in place as a precaution.
The development came as the head of MI5 warned that the attack at the offices of Charlie Hebdo magazine was a 'terrible reminder of the intentions of those who wish us harm'.
Ahead of a speech in London tonight, Andrew Parker, director general of the Security Service, said MI5 would be offering its French counterparts its 'full support'.
The Government has sent a specialist counter terror police officer to Paris to beef up the UK's anti-terror team in France, the Prime Minister's official spokesman said.
The spokesman said: 'What has happened since the incident is, one, the intelligence does not suggest there is any change in the threat level here but on a precautionary basis we have tightened up border security.
'So, I think for example, ports - people going through them will see increased car and truck searches; a bit more scanning of freight.
'They will also see an increased visible presence in the Gare de Nord in Paris.'
Mr Cameron this morning observed a minute silence in respect of the victims of the massacre.
Speaking this morning, the PM said his thoughts were with the French people following the 'appalling' events in Paris.
He told business leaders at a conference in Manchester: 'Everyone's thoughts will be with the French people and will be thinking about the appalling events that happened yesterday in Paris.
'These are a challenge to our security because we have to fight this terrorism with everything we have.
'But they are also a challenge to our values and ... when it comes to security we must use every part or vigilance and security we have.'
When it comes to values he said the best way to protect them was to 'repeat our belief' in them.
He added: 'We stand with them today in defending the values we all hold dear.'
It comes after Nick Clegg this morning insisted Britain's security services have a grip on the terror threat as he faced questions about why the Cobra emergency committee is not meeting until 24 hours after the Paris attack.
The Deputy Prime Minister stressed that the police, MI5 and MI6 'work flat out all the time regardless of whether a Cobra meeting is taking place in Whitehall.
Home Secretary Theresa May will chair the Cobra meeting this morning with security chiefs, police and senior ministers, after what David Cameron described as a 'different' kind of terror plot.
Masked gunmen killed 12 people, including four cartoonists and two policeman, in the assault on the Paris offices of satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo.
A huge manhunt is underway in Paris after police identified two 'armed and dangerous' brothers with links to terrorist groups going back at least a decade. At least seven other people have been arrested.
Mrs May last night said that Britain stands with the French people 'at this time for freedom of speech and democracy and against terror'. She warned that the terror threat to the UK is 'grave and relentless'.
Mr Cameron has offered the assistance of British spies to help French agencies investigate the atrocity.
Taking calls on his weekly phone-in, Mr Clegg faced questions about the British response to the attack in Paris and why Cobra did not meet last night.
He told LBC: 'Our intelligence services and police work flat out all the time regardless of whether a Cobra meeting is taking place in Whitehall or not.
'They do an extraordinary job and thwart a lot of threats we don't hear about.
'I think it's right that Theresa May is chairing this Cobra meeting this morning to stress test and absolutely check that all the measures that need to be taken in the light of this barbaric murder of journalists in central Paris that every possible eventuality of how that might affect us is properly addressed.'
Mr Clegg stressed that a meeting of Cobra was 'just a forum' at which senior security officials can 'double check' the impact of the Paris attack.
'It is not as if nothing happens until a meeting happens in Whitehall', he added.
British tourists in Paris, meanwhile, have been warned to take 'extra care' in the wake of today's terrorist gun attack in the French capital which left 12 people dead.
The Foreign Office warned there is a 'high threat from terrorism' and attacks 'could be indiscriminate'.
The Prime Minister and German Chancellor Angela Merkel were given an extraordinary joint security briefing by British intelligence agencies MI5 and MI6.
The 10-minute briefing was based on what the intelligence agencies had been able to piece together so far from open source material.
It highlighted the calm, determined and apparently professional way the killers had carried out the assault.
Mr Cameron said: 'This is different from some of the plots that we have seen here in the UK from so-called home-grown terrorists.'
The PM added that the UK was 'already at a very high state of alert' and the security services were looking at what more could be done, he said, 'but there is no one single answer to these appalling terrorist attacks'.
Defending the right to free speech he said: 'We should be very clear this day that these values that we have are not sources of weakness for us, they are sources of strength.
'Of course there are all sorts of economic things we have to get right but, as we do that, the countries that succeed in the future I think will be those that stick to the values of freedom, of democracy, of the rule of law.
'Those are part of the things that make our economies and our societies and our political systems strong and powerful and good and we must not give those up.'
In a statement the Queen said: 'Prince Philip and I send our sincere condolences to the families of those who have been killed and to those who have been injured in the attack in Paris this moming.
'We send our thoughts and prayers to all those who have been affected.'

Data (have you noticed how it's pronounced the British, rather than American, way?) always looks too pail. He shouldn't be that pale, even for an android (or whatever he is). He needs to get on a sunbed.
Well, considering it's basically a tool, it's probably distantly related to buckets, so looking pail works for it.
Seems to me that the key part of that sentence is the person doing the insulting needs to be a Muslim to be executed. Looks like some people have extended the scope of the infraction for their own purposes.
As he said in season 2 he is Data not data.
Posted on Page 6. Thanks for the recap.
R.I.P. Ahmed Merabet, a French Police officer, who happened to be Muslim, a victim of #CharlieHebdo attack. (one of the Good Ones)
Yeah, YOUR cock is much shorter than the 3" barrel of your gun.
Later carried by 6.
Which in Canada falls into the prohibited category, unless you had one before the law came into effect...:lol:Posted on Page 6. Thanks for the recap.
