[LGM] should LGM or its site have something to say about Charlie Hebdo?

I don't see what all of this has to do with freedom of speech or state ideals. 
This wasn't the act of a state abusing its powers and deserving protest, this 
were a hand full of murderers who did what they did. All those protests are 
basically saying that there is a big (Islamic) population somewhere that needs 
to be told that WE are standing against them. Mixed with latent nationalism 
and xenophobia (at least the ones in Europe I have been seeing). They are 
blaming some phantom that only exists in the heads of a few, but they point 
fingers so broadly that way too many people are getting accused, too. I don't 
want to be part of that.

Again, there is no death sentence or suppression of freedom of speech, so 
let's not overreact.
