Although Western media have reported about the many protests against Charlie Hebdo all around the Islamic world, they have failed to point out that, once again, Muslims are conflating Western behavior with Christianity — blaming offensive caricatures of Muhammad on Christianity — without realizing that the satirical magazine habitually pokes fun at Christ and all other religious figures.
In the above picture from Palestinian territories, for example, protesters hold up a sign with pictures of the Muslim gunmen who murdered a dozen people at Charlie Hebdo with the caption saying “Expect more from the champions of Islam, O you slaves of the Cross.”
“Slaves of the Cross” is a common epithet Islam and Muslims use to describe Christians, past and present.
At any rate, here again we see how secular Western actions are immediately interpreted as “Christian” actions, and go on to fuel Muslim persecution of Christians, in the context of collective punishment.
