"Coexist" Artist Is Beaten By Muslims

As Obama trivializes the Islamic killing of Jews in France, the call to coexist meets with Islamic disproval.

French Artist’s Calls For Peace End in Brutal Beating By Local Muslims

"It was very offensive and local Muslims demanded he take it down.

Four Muslims in Porte Dorée (the Golden door), a ghetto east of Paris, beat artist Combo after he refused to take down his Coexist street art. Combo suffered a dislocated shoulder, bruises and a black eye.
Artnet reported, via Jihad Watch:

It seems like something one would be hard pressed to disagree with: the word “coexist,” written on a wall using a Muslim crescent as the letter “C,” a Star of David as the letter “X,” and a Christian cross as a “T.”


But in Paris, this particular iteration of the popular inscription—here, created by the street artist Combo, who also pasted a life-size photo of himself next to it—didn’t go down well with everybody. Le Monde reports that four young people asked the artist to remove it last weekend, and beat him up severely when he refused to do so.

Combo ended up with a dislocated shoulder and many bruises.

The attack is characteristic of the inter-religious tensions that plague France and have been exacerbated by the Charlie Hebdo tragedy (see 12 Killed at Magazine Previously Attacked for Satirical Cartoons). Combo declined to discuss the identity of his assailants. “It would only add fuel to the fire,” he told the French newspaper."
Bull. The attack is purely an indicator of Islamic intolerance, and violent hatred which is specific to Islam and is focused on the Other. And allowing them to go free is an act of capitulation. Islam is designed to do the opposite of coexist; it is designed to dominate by force. The prophet would be proud, but more so if they had killed Combo, as the prophet did to his "offenders".

"The attack is characteristic of the inter-religious tensions"

I want to laugh like Ray Liotta in Goodfellas. Are you kidding me? Of those three symbols, which one's adherents cannot get along with the other two? Inter-religious tensions my ass!
