Hasan Nasrallah, a Shi'ite Cleric, takes a rare public stand. He is not alone. Many other Muslim Holy Men are upset with the attacks in Paris. But, this is Nasrallah.

How many journalists stop to realize the attacks in Paris reach beyond the West? The Islamic State wants to end the lives of all others, except, than those the caliph finds worthy. I can understand why the third caliph was assassinated.

The Islamic State is genocidal. If the caliph had nuclear weapons today, there would be very few people living.

Islamic extremists (click here) following a ‘takfiri’ ideology are more offensive to the Prophet Mohammed than Western satirical cartoons, chief of the Lebanese military faction Hezbollah, Hasan Nasrallah, said following the Charlie Hebdo terrorist attack.
 
"The behavior of the takfiri groups that claim to follow Islam have distorted Islam, the Koran and the Muslim nation more than Islam’s enemies ... who insulted the prophet in films... or drew cartoons of the prophet," the Hezbollah leader said in a televised speech to mark the birthday of the Prophet Mohammed, according to Lebanon’s Daily Star.

Militant Islam practices a ‘takfiri’ doctrine that allows it to brand other Muslims apostates for allegedly going against the faith’s true teachings.
A tragic attack on Wednesday took the lives of 12 people, when armed gunmen stormed the offices of satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo in Paris, prompting a citywide manhunt. The magazine had printed cartoons that mocked the Prophet... 

Add to that Saudi Arabia is establishing diplomatic relations with Iraq again and a very clear picture of the radicals of the Islamic State begins to emerge. The attacks in Paris is a global concern. There is no doubt in my mind where Muslims globally stand on such heinous murders.
