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 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.
