"Hamas has condemned the Charlie Hebdo massacre after the Israeli Prime Minister drew parallels between the shooting and the group’s firing of rockets into Israel from the Gaza strip.
A statement from the Islamist group to news agency AFP said it “condemns the attack against Charlie Hebdo magazine and insists on the fact that differences of opinion and thought cannot justify murder”.
Hamas rejected Benjamin Netanyahu's comments comparing the slaughter to Hamas’ firing of rockets, which Israel said prompted its 50 day assault on Gaza in July."

"According to the Associated Press, Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah blasted religious terrorists while delivering a video address to followers in southern Beirut, saying that radicals have done more to disparage the Muslim prophet Muhammad than journalists who published satirical cartoons mocking Islam. The comments appeared to be an indirect reference to the recent shootings at the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo in Paris, France.
A transcript of his exact words is not currently available, but AP reports that the sheikh, who condemned the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Center in the past but was “silent” on the similar assault on Pentagon, said extremists who murder and behead people have done more harm to Islam than “anyone else in history.” Although no groups were mentioned by name, the remarks also appeared to discredit militant Islamic organizations such as the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, or ISIS, also called the Islamic State, which has ruthlessly murdered and oppressed both non-Muslims and Muslims in Syria and Iraq."

Charlie Hebdo: Brother of killed Algerian police officer says 'do not mix up extremists with Muslims'
The family of a police officer who was shot dead outside the offices of Charlie Hebdo magazine in Paris while he patrolled the streets urged people “not to confuse extremists with Muslims.”
In a tearful press conference, the brother of Ahmed Merabet, 42, who spoke in French on behalf of the family, said they are devastated by the “barbaric” death in the hands of terrorists from the same home country who claim to be acting in accordance with Islam.
Dressed in black, five members of the family – two men and three women – stood in a line to address the press conference with brother Malek in the middle. Mr Merabet, who is one of 17 murdered by masked gunmen in a three-day siege, is survived by his wife.

The One With a Gun is the Terrorist - the one on the ground is a Muslim.
