The Syrian regime of Bashar al-Assad has piously condemned the Charlie Hebdo massacre.

An official source at the Foreign and Expatriates Ministry said, in a statement to SANA on Thursday, this terrorist act clearly shows the dangers of the outbreak of extremist terrorism which poses a threat to the stability and security of the world as a whole.

Of course the regime is outraged by the brutal killing of cartoonists who mock figures deserving of reverence. Instead it favors the more humane practice of simply breaking their hands.
