Niger Riots over new Charlie Hebdo cover, multiple killed - Polidicks

[quote]Protests over the publication of cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad by magazine Charlie Hebdo left 10 people dead in Niger over two days, as France warned its citizens to stay indoors as rioters torched churches. Clashes erupted today between demonstrators and security forces when about a thousand people gathered outside the main mosque of Niamey, Niger’s capital, Radio France Internationale reported.[/quote] [url=http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2015-01-17/churches-burned-as-niger-charlie-hebdo-riots-rage-for-second-day.html]Source[/url]

I want a legitimate answer from somebody why these riots are legitimate

make more provocative cartoons in retaliation

I misread the title and I sat there for like a minute wondering how the thread hadn't already been deleted. I'm really confused though how can so many muslims in the middle east be supportive of France after the attacks but somehow the Nigerian muslims are in favor of it? What the fuck?

read title as nigger riots don't say you didn't too. [highlight](User was banned for this post ("Thanks for the very insightful post." - Swebonny))[/highlight]

[QUOTE=old_hag12;46963829]read title as nigger riots don't say you didn't too.[/QUOTE] yes, but it's still pretty tasteless to post the obvious

[QUOTE=old_hag12;46963829]read title as nigger riots don't say you didn't too.[/QUOTE] Can't you get banned for saying that word?

[QUOTE=Snoberry Tea;46963888]Can't you get banned for saying that word?[/QUOTE] Not really, for instance if I were to use the word "nigger" in a discussion about its etymology and use, then I wouldn't get banned because I'm employing it to rely an information. However, if I were to say "Fuck those niggers rioting over the slightest thing!" then I'd get banned for racism. I just did, but then that doesn't mean I'll get banned since I employed it to give you information on the unspoken rules of Facepunch. It's pretty simple stuff, actually.

[QUOTE=Pantz Master;46956270]I want a legitimate answer from somebody why these riots are legitimate[/QUOTE] Appearently the government didn't allow a peaceful protest so they just rioted instead

I wish these people put in as much effort as they do getting angry over blasphemy into being skeptical of their own beliefs.
