1. Perfect example of the plain, simple and only explanation that makes perfect sense ....madness.

The media played that image a lot for a day or two, little mention this poor man was Muslim...and none since.

[malaise]

13. Mentioning that truth would subvert the agenda

From the day the Soviet Union collapsed they needed a new 'project'. Suddenly 'ist' was added to Islam. MIC needs an 'ist'. War (declared or undeclared) is very profitable.

20. Yes, you had to go to social media to learn who he was.

R.I.P. Ahmed Merabet, a French #Muslim Cop, first victim of #CharlieHebdo attack

RIP brave soul!

[Fred Sanders]

21. This simple post, I thank you for, would make a good OP. A victim of pure innocence.

Bless his family as well.

Why the media can not spare some more time to reflect and show compassion....I do not know why.

[onehandle]

2. Guns are the calling card of terrorism.

The tool of cowards.

Ahmed was a hero.

[grahamhgreen]

3. Powerful image.

[raging moderate]

4. Moi aussi.

JeSuisAhmed aussi.

6. K&R!

7. here we go, "the guy with the gun wasn't a reeeal muslim", the no true scotsman fallacy.

anything to keep religion above criticism. total bullshit.

[Nuclear Unicorn]

10. No real atheist would commit mass murder. The absence of religion relieves people of the impulse

to kill in the name of an ideology and power.

Little known fact -- Stalin was a closet Methodist and Mao was probably a Mennonite

[Violet_Crumble]

11. The guy with the gun's a terrorist. The guy on the ground's a Muslim...

Doesn't get much easier to understand than that.

RIP Ahmed Merabet and the other 11 victims of that slaughter

[brooklynite]

17. The two terms are not mutually exclusive...

[NewDeal_Dem]

23. you're saying the guy on the ground's a terrorist too?

since the poster already said the muslim with the gun is a terrorist, don't know why you want to corret the poster unless to claim the dead muslim is also a terrorist.

[onenote]

26. The guy with the gun is a Muslim terrorist. The guy on the ground is a Muslim police officer

If you want to be accurate.

[NewDeal_Dem]

32. what two terms aren't mutually exclusive, according to the poster?

[samsingh]

28. agreed

if someone is killing in the name of a religion because of radical teachings. Something in those teachings, even if they subvert a few, cannot be ignored.

If budhists were teaching violence and only 1% of budhists became extremists, i'm pretty sure we would ask the violent teachings to cease.

[Maedhros]

34. A lot of propaganda effort has been expended to equate "Musliim" and "Terrorist"

in the public's mind. The OP reminds us to think critically, and not engage in false equivalencies. The OP was not attempting to exonerate religion from criticism.

Your contention does not apply in this instance, because the OP is not making the True Scotsman Fallacy that you allege.

[Kevin from WI]

8. What a sad thing to see

This man died. He didn't deserve it. This should have never happened. None of those victims deserved die.

[Douglas Carpenter]

9. knr

[Donald Ian Rankin]

12. Both are Muslims. N.T.

[NewDeal_Dem]

24. She knows that.

[kpete]

14. So much for "them" and " those" people ...

Spread the Word; there's a lot of Ignorant and Uneducated People among us.

[samsingh]

29. there is a sizable number of people being taught to kill in the name of the religion

many muslims died in 911.

[samsingh]

30. suicide bombers are muslims too

[n2doc]

15. illustrated:

[kpete]

16. n2doc

you just blew mr. pete & my minds


peace, love & tolerance,
kp

[MellowDem]

18. They're both Muslims...

Which might say something about the consistency of religion, much less Islam.

[kpete]

19. BUT

they are NOT both terrorists,

peace,
kp

[sabrina 1]

22. I saw an OP here that appeared to be saying they are ALL terrorists.

Surely we are not going down that road here. We went through that in the early 2000s and at that time, it was the other side who were convinced of that.

[NewDeal_Dem]

25. some are going down that road.

[samsingh]

31. true. our inability to stop one resulted in the murder of the other

[Gothmog]

33. It is not that hard to tell the two apart
