CNN contributor and Daily Beast columnist Sally Kohn weighs in on the terrorist attack on the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo in Paris:

Christians or Jews killing in name of religion = Extremists

But Muslims killing in name of religion = All Muslims??!

Come on…

And as you might imagine, Tweeters aren’t on board with her argument. At all:

When was the last time any Christian or Jew killed in the name of their religion? On a mass scale like this even? Hello, @sallykohn?

@sallykohn This is straw man bullshit, NOBODY is saying ALL Muslims support this.

@sallykohn Remember when Christians went on a killing rampage after the "Piss Christ" artwork was displayed? Neither do I.

@sallykohn You're the only one saying "all Muslims." Extreme #Islam isn't a religion of peace. Not at all

.@sallykohn Yes, at this point it must be acknowledged that Islam is, at the very least, a silent partner in these terrorist attacks.
