  « Les musulmans ont hérité d’une stratégie mise en place depuis plus de vingt ans par des activistes chrétiens afin d’adapter l’accusation de blasphème ànos sociétés pluralistes, dit-elle. Car les dévots ont peu àpeu compris qu’il ne fallait plus se présenter comme la majorité morale, mais au contraire comme une minorité discriminée, autrement dit retourner les droits de l’homme et l’antiracisme (qu’ils exècrent) àleur profit en se présentant comme des victimes, heurtées dans leur sensibilité religieuse. »

  Il y a une différence fondamentale entre dire « Le communisme a fait des millions de morts  » et dire àun communiste qu’il est un assassin. Or, les caricatures de Charlie Hebdo ne me semblent pas avoir jamais ciblé les musulmans dans leur ensemble, ni encore moins chaque musulman pris isolément, mais les intégristes religieux- et que qui se sent morveux se mouche !
