Many people are not Charlie exactly because Charlie Hebdo would criticize all religions and all politicians, irrespective of their ethnicity, gender, ideology, etcetera. Consequently, leaders of all religions and political parties have criticized them. That said, they have only been violently attacked by extremist Muslims. This is a fact that can and should not be denied! This is not to say that only Muslim extremists attack their critics – for example, recently two French members of the Jewish Defense League were convicted for placing a bomb under the car of an anti-Zionist journalist. Still, it is an uncomfortable but undeniable fact that most acts and threats of political violence in contemporary Europe come from extremist Muslims. This is not because of Islam, as 99.9 percent of Muslims are not violent, but this doesn’t mean that Islam plays no role at all.
