Shooting at Charlie Hebdo
Written by Derrick Ngo
The Issue
Why?
How Can This Be Avoided?
Consequences that would happen if this were to be ignored would be national to local war, hectic among the people, anarchy, discrimination, etc. All of which are violent. This would be a good idea to avoid because lives are important and people shouldn't die for disagreeing and debating on beliefs.
What Should They Have Done?
The French shouldn't have been insulting other religions in the first place; abusing the power of freedom of speech and press is wrong. However, it does not mean what the Islams did just because they were upset was right either. The Islams took into violence for their anger, when they should have taken their anger through the law; the legal way. If the Islams (and any other religions) disagreed with any magazine, then they could have taken this to court where the issue could be solved in a civil way.
