Having said that it's a little too convenient for people like the Kouachi's brothers, Ahmed Merabet was also a 2nd gen not a brain surgeon and according to his family very proud to serve the public.
Many not very bright, sometimes plain stupid, people like the Kouachi brothers finding excuses for their own shortcoming.

absolutely - those guys were nothing but stupid criminals and there is not the slightest excuse ever for what they did - see what I wrote earlier in this thread about muslims having to deal with Mohammed caricatures without killing people

Other than that I do my best (although I'll admit that it's not always easy) to not pre-judge anyone, Muslims, Christians or what have you. At the end of the day I'm no more than human either.

i have the strong feeling that something like sharia would never happen here in CZ - they even made a supermarket chain stop selling halal meat. eastern europe in general is pretty xenophobic
on the other hand i am a foreigner here that doesn't speak the language and my ancestors used to round czech people up and shoot them - that doesn't win you a popularity price right away ;)
