The Pen Is Mightier Than The Sword: 28 Cartoonists Pay Tribute To The Victims Of The Charlie Hebdo Shooting
407Kviews
In the wake of the horrific shooting at the offices of the French satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo, illustrators and cartoonists around the world come together in solidarity with the 12 artists and ordinary people who died in that event by doing what they do best – drawing cartoons that express their thoughts and emotions more eloquently than words ever could.
Their messages range from anger and defiance to grief and hope, but there is a common thread. It is clear that, in their eyes, the people at Charlie Hebdo have died as martyrs who championed the freedom of expression and of the press, which are some of the core elements of a free society.

They were professional artist who profited by insulting another religion.
@ Thomas Nolan you are a complete idiot! Artists have always and will always show us how to laugh at life. And they SHOULD get paid for that
They insulted all religions, politicians and celebrities, they were critics, who we need to balance between what we're told and what is real
Unbelievably stupid reply . A religion cannot be insulted by anything - other than its own ignorance.
Boo F$cking Hoo! That doesn't give anyone the right to commit murder! You must be proud backing terrorists....
Any one who terrors other people just for their ideas , is insulting the religion.Mr.Thomas Nolan.
What do you mean by "another religion"? This is satire and they applied it equally to everyone. If we go around killing over insults...
and that gave the killers the right to kill?? why?? hmm? You are a sick man ThomasNolan, a sick man.
And what about the 2 cops who died ? Please don't talk before thinking
Thomas, if you don't understand CharlieHebdo, you don't understand the french spirit and what "freedom of expression" means to us.
which gives what people what right to kill what other people? You are sickening.
Religion is an insult to intelligent people everywhere.
You are literally the stupidest person ever. Justifying that those terrorists had the right to kill because they were offended is despicable
And over all...killing could not be the punishment of writing or any thing any way...
There's a twit born every minute. At least Thomas can stop looking for his.
That's freedom of speech for ya. Anyone can say and think and believe whatever they want. No matter how F@#*ing STUPID YOU ARE.
islam is not a religion. islam is a mental illness.
No verse In Coran Or A Story In Islam Talks About Or Pushes You To Kill Those Who offense You, Yet They Do It..A Terrorist Is Not A Muslim.
Why do most of the Middle Eastern countries have blasphemy laws where you can be imprisoned or executed for speaking against a religion.
God told Mohamad(the muslim prophet):if you were bad-tempered, the people would hate you and keep away from you.
bah! a scholarly gent told me that ISIS is doing exactly what Mohammed did to his detractors in Medina all those years ago.... yes?No?
I think I'll just leave this here: http://wikiislam.net/wiki/List_of_Killings_Ordered_or_Supported_by_Muhammad
You stupid enough to look the source at internet, read Quran la, it's the source of true Muslims
