The difference in France, UK, and here is that people that perpetrate violence against others in the name of religion are treated as they should be....as criminals.
In many Muslim countries violence against those of other religions is sometimes either sanctioned by the gov't or purposely not investigated/prosecuted.

Agree, very true and very unfortunate.
