      • Actually this is not the time to discuss but I want to say, this is not about religion, there is something almost different behind all these religious points…

        • I think this is absolutely the time to discuss. The devastation people feel comes with anger, rightfully so. But between the growing xenophobia and anti-Muslim sentiment, this is a dangerous time that can tip the societies closer to hate towards the Muslim communities, which is NOT a good trend because it simply mirrors the kind of violence and mentality the perpetrators embodied.

          • Jane, when I said it is not the time to discuss, because of all these died people and sadness of their lovers and families… But of course we should discuss this. And also not only in France, becuase this matter is about all of us. We should see what we created. There are two important points for me, first is to respect, to appreciate what others think, and the second one is to tolerate what others think… We should build these two important things… But to kill is not a way of responce. To kill people should be a kind of mental problem,This is so tragic, especially in 21st century still we are dealing with this. And also I don’t think that this is a religious matter… There should be something different behind all this happennings… Especially when we look at their backgrounds of these people… Why? what kind of training make them like that… Sorry but this is really complicated problem, there are so many parts of it. I hope you understand me.

  3. I don’t agree with what has happened but at the same time I don’t identify with Charly because I would never make fun of other people’s believes. Is that liberty?

  5. My comment, if I my be so bold, as to repeat as my comment to your contribution, the piece I wrote when the Charlie tragedy happened. I thank you for your interest in my scribbles, humbly dubbed poetry. Your reply kind sir is the encouragement we scribblers feed on to nourish our word addiction. JJ

  6. “ The Unbearable Silence ”
    ~ of Charlie Hebdo ~

    They draw the lines
    In twists and shapes,
    That means depict
    Bleak minds to face,
    In wearying state
    Of fanatical politics,
    And religious fakes
    Of profiteering prophets,
    In varied shades extremist
    All would be fodder
    For satirical exposure,
    Decries need for disclosure
    By impish mind humorists,
    Who forever meant persist
    Save for life they gave,
    Yet will ne’er be made silent
    For they’ll speak from the grave!

            ode to Charlie Hebdo’s of the world,
                their dear departed satirists,  
                                        of freedom of expression,
                                              who would not be silenced!
