2. The editorials central claim was that if “To understand how to respond to the Charlie Hebdo atrocity, we only have to imagine what would happen if the situation was reversed”  what if the terrorists were christian. The main point is displayed in the final line, “Because even if we don’t see ourselves as Charlie, our enemies do.”

3. Very little actually evidence used. The editorial used real events and discussed them as if the situation was changed. Most the editorial’s piece is hypothetical and analyst. The main piece of evidence used was when the author talked about the similarities between Anders Behring Breivik and the attacks on Charlie Hebdo. 

4. I agree with author on many of his points. Firstly, I agree that, too fully understand the terrorist, we must think of these attacks in reversal.  If our people were the attackers would we feel differently? Also that the proper response isn’t to react with the same hatred displayed by these terrorists, or use offensive language and derogatory comments.   After such acts of hatred and atrocities one most gauge their response with caution, but a strong decisive response is necessary.
