    Charlie Hebdo - defiant or plain stupid?

    Re. this mornings headline: BBC News - Defiant Charlie Hebdo depicts Prophet Muhammad on cover Stupid in my view. It's the equivalent of taking a good kicking in the playground and not learning any lesson from it.. It's also irresponsible if further potentially completely innocent...

    A peripheral matter for some people I know, and i personally fully confess that I do change my view/ opinion every so often.. However, for the sake of a forum thread etc (feel free to ignore if this is the same old same old).... Is evolution (the process of change and diversity within a...
