The religious and cultural tensions the West faces are "payback" for slavery and colonialism, a Chinese state-run newspaper said Tuesday in the wake of the Islamist attack on Charlie Hebdo magazine.
The editorial in the Global Times newspaper — which often takes a nationalistic tone — dismissed the weekend's huge marches in Paris and elsewhere as "painkillers" that cannot halt the intensifying "clash of civilizations".

It's not a "clash of civilizations". It's a clash of a pack of rabid hyenas against all civilization.

Indeed, it's like saying those 15.1% of US below the poverty line [wikipedia.org] were engaged in a "civilization clash" with the 1% back in 2011 [wikipedia.org].
As you said: rabid hyenas.

Give any man a gun, a mind full of simple ideas and a dash of hate and see how quickly he resembles a hyena.
War is war, the strategies of the western countries that started these wars don't look very civilised to me.
