Muslims throw incendiary devices into a German newspaper's offices

From our viewpoint any physical attack on a publisher is simply intolerable - it is an attack on freedom of expression - and those responsible for them must be found and punished.  For those Muslims who just want to live in peace, it is in their own interest to report all suspicious behavior coupled with bad attitudes to authorities.


A German newspaper, the Hamburger Morgenpost, that reprinted the Charlie Hebdo cartoons says it suffered an arson attack overnight.

The incident happened at about 2 am local time. "Unidentified people" threw stones and incendiary devices into the building housing the Hamburger Morgenpost tabloid newspaper in Hamburg, Germany’s second largest city.

“Rocks and then a burning object were thrown through the window,” a police spokesman told AFP. “Two rooms on the lower floors were damaged but the fire was put out quickly.”

The Bild am Sonntag newspaper reported earlier on Sunday that the bloodshed in France could signal the start of a wave of attacks in Europe, citing communications by Islamic State leaders intercepted by U.S. intelligence.
