Fundamentalist Catholic (Donohue) defends fundamentalists terrorists

Ok, so he doesn't explicitly say he defends them, he blames them for being attacked and causing it themselves.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/worldviews/wp/2015/01/07/after-charlie-hebdo-attack-u-s-catholic-group-says-cartoonists-provoked-slaughter/


But not everyone is so supportive. Bill Donohue, president of the Catholic League, a U.S. organization that "defends the rights of Catholics," issued a statement titled "Muslims are right to be angry." In it, Donohue criticized the publication's history of offending the world's religiously devout, including non-Muslims. The murdered Charlie Hebdo editor Stephane Charbonnier "didn’t understand the role he played in his [own] tragic death," the statement reads.

"Had [Charbonnier] not been so narcissistic, he may still be alive," Donohue says, in what must be one of the more offensive and insensitive comments made on this tragic day.



I don't see much difference in violent religious fundamentalists, be they a Christian who (attempts to) bombs an office of the NAACP, or be they Islamic who bomb a satirist. I have no use for any religion. If you want to practice, knock yourself out, but please keep it out of my face.

He has a meaningless organization with almost no members that he appointed himself as chief of.

Oh, and it is "Muslims everywhere conspire to shoot satirists"

and in the same breath

"lone wolf gunman bombs NAACP"

Jesus fucking christ, when will people stop being so god damn stupid?

(I am not speaking to the OP author, I am just venting as usual)
