It's a better point than you give it credit for. Cartoons can become hate speech, which can make it very difficult to walk in the community. A person looking at me doesn't automatically know I'm Christian. Muslims aren't always so lucky, and minorities from other faiths sometimes get caught in the crossfire.

SoWhat and others have repeatedly said the killers were completely wrong. What they're talking about is separate to that.
