      They seem to dislike france’s freedom of speech and their anti-islam stance.

      … No, it does not make sense. I don’t have a clue.

        I think it has more to do with Macron and his bedding of right-wing fascists to avoid a left-wing government coalition

        That, and their funding of religious ethnostate terrorists…

        Edit: i don’t get it, is it something I said?

        Edit 2: OK, I was wrong about the specific context of the comment, but I’ll take partial credit for guessing it had to do with the war in Gaza

          Yes, the dislike of a democratically elected leader is reasonable clause to call for innocent french people to die in a massacre

            I didn’t say it was reasonable, I was only answering the question as to why they were angry with France.

            I think what the west deserves for funding a genocidal fascist is entirely up for debate, but that they deserve something is pretty well justified, IMHO

    What does that mean? Do they actually want Charlie Hebdos, as in people that aren’t scared to make irreverent cartoons of Mohammed? Or they want people like Charlie Hebdo to get the same response from the Muslim community? There’s a difference.

      I too am intrigued why tankies would support islamic fundamentalists murdering leftist french journalists… Doesn’t add up… My only guess (beyond the general mental illness tankies display) is that French colonialism fucked up cultures around the world for centuries — across south America, Africa, and Asia — and they still hold political and military control over a few of them… But why cheer islamic terrorism? Why cheer the murder of leftist journos?
