I'm sorry, are you talking about Islam or a simple ideologie? Islam is the one and true way, unlike christianity wich is the reason why it became so weak. How can you claim to be a good muslim when you dont trust your own religion ? And yes, the reaction were inaproriate.the best way to react to those insult would have been to insult them with their own insult wich would have been to make an offensive and insulting cartoon of the guy who draw them or of french people in general, if not, just to ignore them to show that their opinion doesnt affect us.

Do you think people would want to be muslim if we appear as barbarian ? French people might have been barbarian themselves but those time are over and we are the one to be considered that way now.
