    How telling that the murder of 12 French people blew the 2,000 murdered Africans off the news... They chose the wrong weekend to die. RIP.

    Is there a law against it? If there is they have the responsibility as citizen to follow the law. Freedom of speech is a human right. Following the law is a responsibility.

    LOL at progressives complaining about the lack of "black on black" violence in the media.

    Yes. Freedom of speech is one thing and following the laws is another.

    It is a joke - that you would complain that the left-wing media is not showing enough black on black violence, when the same supporters of the left-wing media call the right "racist" for complaining that the left-wing media is not showing enough black on black violence.

    You mean a law that goes against freedom of speech.

    A law that impose limits based on precedents and actions by the state. In the case of France, their actions in the 20th century, especialy during WW2 mandated the passing of a law restricting those type of reprehensible actions. So the law is about the actions that resulted from anti-semitic and hate speech and not the right to say such speech per say. He's accused of incitation...

    He doesn't mean the actual source of the text. He wants a Think Progress-like article that can leftsplain it to him in nice, bit size, chewable portions.

    It doesn't.
    I'm quite frankly surprised it's not happening more often.

    And you are a subscriber to the school of sophistry. When did you graduate?

    Free speech is a human right. Obeying the law of society is a responsibility.

    Well, seeing as rural Nigeria has nothing the West wants to either exploit or 'protect' stories like this get relegated to page 7.
    The same with the Congo and Rwanda genocides where up to a million were either murdered or displaced. But 12 people are killed in modern, sophisticated Paris and the whole media world goes into a frenzy.
    Does anyone see anything wrong here?

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rwandan_Genocide

    How many people here are even aware of the Second Congo War where 5.4 million died, mostly of disease and starvation?

    No, its irony, not a joke.

    and we aren't talking about American black on black violence, are we?

    Or does one colour fit all in your world?

    Please provide a linked source which proves that most Sunnis do not agree with the translation of Mohsin a Salafi.

    We were talking about American media coverage, right? And whether or not they show black on black violence?

    You were implying that the lack of coverage was due, at least in part, to race:

    I found this funny, considering the pushback that progressives give to the right when the right brings up how the media is slanted left and unwilling to cover black on black crime.

    Yes, look far back, as the last time Christians fought each other over religious differences was in 1684.

    The last time Islamics were fighting each other is ----now.

    Yes just like the Rwandan Massacres and the Congolese debacle, seems the world just can't get too outraged at black people killing black people in far away places.

    As for conservatives raising the issue of black on black crime in America, I don't know of any progressives that don't think its a major problem, but I do know that many racists keep whining about what they perceive as a lack of coverage, as tho there is some great racial conspiracy to hide the truth of matters.

    Catholics and Protestants were fighting, bombing and killing each other until just a few years ago. Where? Northern Ireland. And, just in case we felt left out, the IRA scum decided that bombing the UK mainland would make us feel better.

    But, but there is! Haven't you heard about the White Genocide sweeping through our cities? Why, only today white corpses blocking the road stopped me getting to work...in fact I'm not sure I'll be able to leave the house tomorrow for the avalanche of white bodies piling up outside my door.
