A few of the many satirical cartoons written in response to the journalist’s murders at Charlie Hebdo.
The pen is mightier than the sword.
Please link to other cartoons written in response to this attack. Lets give voice to these cartoonists from across the world.
I really liked Graffiti artist Banksy’s tribute. Quite thought provoking.
I really don’t think the extremists realize that , when push comes to shove, white people will just Holocaust and carpet nuke your ass right to Allah. We’ve been tolerant to a degree, up til now. If it flat-out comes to an “lslam versus the rich white West” war, it’s going to be Custer’s Last Stand with nukes. I sincerely hope they’re savvy enough to realize that situation only ends one way.
White people? You mean Iranians? I don’t think they actually have the bomb yet.
Nice sabre-rattling. However, I hope you’re savvy enough to realize that although the United States now has the firepower to win World War II a hundred times over, the tactical and strategic position these days isn’t one that can be solved the same way - unless you’re willing to murder the innocent 99.999% along with the guilty 0.001% all in the name of peace, freedom and justice.
I’m worried that Islamic extremists don’t give a **** how reviled they are.
Don’t those terrorists that Political Correctness in North America has done more damage to free speech, thought, and artistic expression than any guns? Many of the same publications crowing about so-called freedoms are in practice too cowardly or intellectually bankrupt or so long indoctrinated they are sanitized so that we might as well be living in North Korea or Israel.
Try it out - just post something on Straight dope that has a whiff of not towing the PC flag and see what kind of response you will get.
First reaction from El jueves (Spain). In case the link gets lost later, an overturned inkwell pouring red and the line malos tiempos para el humor (bad times for comedy).
They’ve posted a second pic but it’s along the same lines of “we still haven’t quite recovered, ok, give us a few days to find our gallows humor”. Not linking it because so far it’s only in their home and that changes very quickly.
As JoseB already mentioned in another thread, this week’s issue of Mongolia is reprinting some hebdo cartoons. This is their own first response, including a hebdo-sourced cartoon which they’d published on Dec 31, 2014 (so, last issue of last year, a few days before the attack). The cartoon is about what to do if your teen becomes a jihadist.
I suspect this isn’t exactly what the OP was looking for, but it’s definitely a cartoon written in response to the attack, and it made me think:
That’s awesome.
