Mali, etc...are just a mess. France is only "playing games" with these so called Islamists, a game that I think has no real solution.

@alitrk seriously, if you're letting something as simple as a word get to you, you need to get a better comprehension of the fact that others *do not have to respect your religious beliefs as much as you do.

The highest rate of persecution against non-muslims (and even other muslims) are carried out in Islamic states. Words and actions are two different things. I hate to tell you this but Islam was never founded on peace. A person can be peaceful, but that is only if their heart is good in the first place. Some religious ideologies do inspire peaceful intentions... Islam has had over 600 years to inspire peaceful attitudes amongst its followers and yet there are literally hundreds of organizations of militant Islamic terrorists (hence the Islamist name) that are harming others claiming it is their right to do so under the tenets of Islamic doctrine.
