TERROR IN PARIS
Chris discusses the recent terror attack in Paris, as a satirical publication has been the target of Islamic Jihad. Twelve people were brutally killed during the attack, as the Jihadists shouted "Allahu Akbar!" and declared that they had avenged the Prophet Muhammad. In the aftermath, the media continues to reassure the public that this behavior only represents "extremists" and not Islam itself. In response, some have argued that such argumentation is part of the Islamic doctrine of Taquiyya -- the practice of deceiving enemies by feigning peace while working for war. Could this be the case? Is this why Westerners are continually told that Islam is the religion of peace?
