Why would someone violently shoot with that AK-47? The answer is right there: "Allahu Akbar", Arabic for "God is great". Of course, the nature of this "God" here is a never settling question.
I am not sure exactly what satire Charlie Hebdo wrote to offend these people... obviously it is extremely offensive to them.
One must think. Gosh why do these people do such violent acts! This is because of their education, their beliefs. But before you blast their beliefs look at what are in your children books.
Remember David vs Goliath? Goliath is big and everyone is scared and this little David had the courage and God is with him therefore he wins. See 1 Samuel 17.
What do you teach your kids? If you have faith in the almighty God there is nothing to be afraid of, even the mighty Goliath.
Um, this is exactly what the terrorists think! This is exactly what caused most mayhem in this world.... too many times.
Most people just remember this much and never even look closely. This (little) David is actually a mighty impossibly incredible kid not just a regular little sheep-looking kid. He can even kill a lion and a bear.
34 But David said to Saul, “Your servant has been keeping his father’s sheep. When a lion or a bear came and carried off a sheep from the flock, 35 I went after it, struck it and rescued the sheep from its mouth. When it turned on me, I seized it by its hair, struck it and killed it.
Your children book probably does not include the detail of chopping Goliath's head off.
51 David ran and stood over him. He took hold of the Philistine’s sword and drew it from the sheath. After he killed him, he cut off his head with the sword.
If this is any old TV/movie/story you would think man what is this author writing! We are talking about a kid to kill lion and bear and defeat a huge guy and chop his head off, but it is the Bible you know. (Then why the heck does he need to run away from his own son Absalom?).
Please, journalists, watch what you write.
Sunday School teachers... are you telling the whole story to the kids? (You probably should hide the violent parts to prevent nightmares but you should read it yourself)
Violence beget more violence. This is a vicious cycle.
