We condemn the attack on #CharlieHebdo Whomever the attackers are, and whatever the cause may be, nothing justifies the taking of life

Are we all prepared to uphold freedom of speech as journalists in the shadow of the #CharlieHebdo attacks today whatever our backgrounds.

They wish to divide us. Extremists on all sides win if we allow it. Solution is co existence. The Prophet said : pic.twitter.com/gh53DIhKsP

These terrorists are evil, sick and an affront to Islam. Their ideology of violence needs to be exposed. #CharlieHebdo

The lunatics who attacked #CharlieHebdo really belive the Prophet (pbuh) would prefer them as butchers over a cartoonist. #notinmyname

Why Muslims should embrace free speech, even if it includes insults to their Prophet http://t.co/S12EYrY2Qs #CharlieHebdo

Appalling attack in #France . There is no justification for this callous act. Thoughts & prayers are with the victims and their families

Thoughts with families/friends of those in tragic Paris killings. Violence shouldn't be used to make points,no matter what journalists wrote

I'm no fan of #charliehebdo but this is a sickening, terrifying, unjustifiable attack on journalists. My thoughts & prayers with the victims

— Mehdi Hasan (@mehdirhasan) January 7, 2015

Thoughts and prayers are with the victims. Such acts of gross violence whether they are in Peshawar or Paris 1/2

— Sajjad Karim MEP (@SHKMEP) January 7, 2015

Our deepest sympathies with Paris, those who were killed and their families who are left behind. This madness must stop! #NotInAnyonesName

— outlandish (@outlandishDK) January 7, 2015

Times like these, as muslims, we should raise our voices and condemn such terror crimes. #NotInMyName

Meanwhile, commentator Mohammed Ansar homed in the Quilliam Foundation again and posted:

Maajid Nawaz and his supporters using the murders in Paris, to bolster their own causes today. Disgusting. Disgusting. Disgusting.

— Mohammed Ansar (@MoAnsar) January 7, 2015

The sword always looks mightier than the pen. In the democratic, liberal, civilized nations, we have a duty to defend the pen #charliehebdo

Maajid Nawaz who was at the centre of a cartoon controversy himself last year posted:

RIP #CharlieHebdo jihadist terrorist victims.This is why I'd tweeted it was so important for Muslims to openly *not* be offended by cartoons

— Maajid Nawaz (@MaajidNawaz) January 7, 2015

Absurdly, I'm told this is not time to talk about reforming Muslim attitudes to "blasphemy". Seriously. What planet are we on? #CharlieHebdo
