'Having sympathy for the motives' is a meaningless phrase

Because it doesn't explicitly link the motives with the action.

I also have sympathy with muslims who are offended by the reproduction of the prophet.

That 'sympathy' does not however extend to murderous response.

Do 27% of muslims think that Charlie Hebdo got what was coming? Is that what you think?
