ORIGINAL: Politesub53 Is incredible that anyone could use the death of a three year old boy in a cartoon. The magazine is a disgrace to itself and to free speech. Free speech is precious but not as precious as a young boys life. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/france/12098437/Charlie-Hebdo-criticised-over-racist-cartoon-portraying-Aylan-Kurdi-as-an-adult-sex-pest.html Many islamic societies teach that women who appear in public without a hijab (or greater covering) and without a man, who express opinions, drive and/or take jobs are virtually prostitutes and hence fair game for men to take sexual advantage of, hence the New Year's Eve assaults. Charlie Hebdo has pointed out that the young boy might have grown up with those views, so while his death is a great tragedy, the corruption of his mind would also have been a tragedy. The OP might not like the way it was pointed out, but he hasn't commented on the actual issue. I am upset about the poor, drowned boy, but several years ago I discovered an after-school islamic class of 20 or so children seated on the floor in a circle with a bearded man talking to them. I am sorry for them too.
