As with any brand of fundamentalism, Islamists are known for taking offense – often quite violently – to anything which they decide is somehow "offensive" to their religion.
Such baseless "offense" is defined by the lack of any clear or rational explanation of exactly how they were harmed by the offensive act.
Events
- 2006: Muhammad/cartoon riots
- 2011: Charlie Hebdo firebombed
- 2015: Charlie Hebdo/2015 shooting: 10 staff and 2 police killed in Islamist shooting

Those passions were further inflamed this week when the magazine's first issue following the attack carried a cover cartoon depicting Muhammad holding a "Je Suis Charlie" sign."
