There's provocation defined as "action or speech that makes someone angry, especially deliberately" and there's madness , the sometimes seemingly mad / insane reaction to certain types of provocation as in the old Saro Krio saying, of my Yoruba grandmother's King James Bible generation, that "provocation is next to madness"
In accordance with Sunnism there are The Five Pillars of Islam and there's the five roots/ principles the Usul al Din of Shia Islam ( ie.Tawhid ( the unity of God) Adl ( God's Justice) Nabuwat ( Prophethood), Imamat (The Holy Imams), Qiyamah (The Resurrection)
With pavlovian expectations, Charlie Hebdo is at it again – this time their so called satirical illustration is that of an erect giant penis , said to be "the sixth pillar of Islam.".
A new provocation from Charlie Hebdo , new death threats
They are of course expecting Muslims to react violently as Muslims have done in the past, with the Muhammad Cartoons ( Denmark) Lars Vilks canine portrait of the Prophet of Islam (Sweden) and the earlier Charlie Hebdo attacks ( France) which prove that Charlie Hebdo know what they are doing and are doing what they do because they expect the same results , so that they can all shout in unison : TERRORISTS!!!!!!!!!!!!
