Islamic Terrorist Attack in Paris Against "Charlie Hebdo"
Two days ago I used an image from "Charlie Hebdo", the Paris based left-wing, anti-clerical, satirical weekly, in my post What Will 2010 Hate Crime Stats Show? The very next day, "Charlie Hebdo" was scheduled to come out with a special issue featuring the Prophet Muhammad as that week's "guest editor". But in the middle of the night the magazine's offices were firebombed and completely destroyed.
Here is a sampling of related news stories and reactions to this act of terrorism:

...and every time I see something about it, it makes me just want to post blasphemous picture after blasphemous picture of Muhammad on my blog...
