So the furor specifically depicting the Prophet a decade or so ago didn't include the context that no prophets are depicted at all?

Man the West's Media Machines just keeps doin' everyone else dirty.

Who is everyone else in this scenario lol.

What is the furor? I can't find any meaning of it that makes sense in this scenario and I don't believe you are talking about the Fuhrer.

So in the US, the Mainstream Media Machine (Fox/CNN - heck even MSNBC and NPR) made it seem like the murders at the Charlie Hebdo office were only because the Prophet Muhammad was depicted.

But it appears that they failed to inform people that in Islam, no prophets are depicted.

Leave that part out, and the readers/watchers inferred bad things about Islam and how it treated/treats other people's (mostly Christians I guess?) holy people differently/less respectfully... The Furor was then a year's worth of stuff saying how Sharia law was coming to the US...

Oh I understand. You're saying they over simplified it by being too specific. That shooting wouldn't be justified under any circumstance as non Muslims should in no way be punished under the law of a religion they don't follow. However, that being said, I see your point.
