So what they have
succeeded in doing, in fact is getting artists and illustrators all over the
world to draw satirical images relating to terrorism and their religion, many
of whom have never tackled the subject before....rather backfired, didn't it.
Although, that said - most of the images above
focus on terrorism and gunmen rather than the Muslim faith, which in my mind is
correct - These are radical terrorists - abusing faith to use it as an excuse
to behave deplorably.
see all of the cartoons riposte to Charlie Hebdo gunmen
Cartoonists
across the world have flooded the streets and the internet with powerful
drawings in defiance of the armed gunmen who attempted to silence the satirical
French newspaper, Charlie Hebdo.
If
you are clueless about the “je suis Charlie” protest going on now, then this is
it:
According
to dailymail,
Three
men stormed the publication’s building in Paris on Wednesday, where they shot
dead 12 people and injured 11. Amongst the victims were 10 journalists and at
least four cartoonists.
Charlie
Hebdo was well known for its controversial images which regularly satirised
Islam amongst other religions, while the newspaper’s latest tweet featured a
cartoon of Abu Baghdadi, the leader of Islamic State.
As
tens of thousands of people gathered on the streets across the world to show
support for those who were slaughtered, cartoonists everywhere took to their
drawing pads in an effort to prove that pens are far mightier than swords.
