Yep, they got what they wanted... dead cops.
Well, thanks, I guess, for helping to prove my point that religions, whether centered around an imaginary invisible deity or a cult of personality, do more harm than good.

Can you have a chat with them sometime and find out?

The Qur'an:
Qur'an (33:57) - "Lo! those who malign Allah and His messenger, Allah hath cursed them in this world and the Hereafter, and hath prepared for them the doom of the disdained"

Qur'an (33:61) - [continues from above] "Accursed, they will be seized wherever found and slain with a (fierce) slaughter."

Qur'an (6:93) - "Who can be more wicked than one who inventeth a lie against Allah?" If the death penalty is prescribed for lesser crime, then it stands to reason that it should be imposed for the most "wicked".

From the Hadith:
Bukhari (59:369) - This recounts the murder of Ka'b bin al-Ashraf, a Jewish poet who wrote verses about Muslims that Muhammad found insulting. He asked his followers, 'Who will rid me of this man?' and several volunteered. al-Ashraf was stabbed to death while fighting for his life.

Bukhari (4:241) - Those who mocked Muhammad at Mecca were killed after he had retaken the city and asserted his authority.
Do you want to have a "Holy Book-Off" to see whether there is more murder and bloodshed in the Bible as opposed to the Qu'ran?

(My point is not that one is "better" than the other but that both contain plenty of rape, killing, genocide, etc., both incited by belief in the same imaginary deity.)

One could post scores and scores of biblical passages in which the God of Abraham (the god worshiped by Jews, Christians and Muslims alike) instructs his followers to kill with impunity and great malice.

But, to state it again--this is not an excuse or apology for rabid, radical, violent Islamist terrorists. As I've frequently stated, I believe members of Al Quaeda, the Taliban, ISIS, and similar groups should be executed on sight.

My contention, however, is that most Muslims are reasonable, kind, peaceful people and the violent crazy ones are not emblematic of all Muslims any more than the KKK or Westboro Baptist are indicative of all Christians (who are, likewise, mostly reasonable, kind and peaceful people.)

Strange how we don't see mass-muslim protests in Indonesia, Saudi-Arabia, Gaza, Jordan, Turkey? Surely EVERY muslim on earth condemns this attack on our humanity?
You need to read more Mid-East news -- there are a lot of "mass-muslim protests" in some of those countries. Most of them are against their own government. Egypt is still fighting off the Muslim Brotherhood. Jordan is fighting off al-quaeda & ISIS.

Europe does need to restrict Muslim immigration. It increasingly seems that many Muslims cannot deal with Western culture or more insidiously many have ulterior motives for wanting to emigrate.
muslims will rarely integrate into a western country, even if they are born in that country ,they still the west as evil that must be destroyed.

The kind of broad generalization that underpins discrimination and bias. It's a belief, and it's not based in reality.
