Ils n'ont jamais vu Charlie Hebdo

It's been about a week since I wrote about the Charlie Hebdo massacre. And of course I am disappointed by the response of the world.

Over the past week there has been massive growth in Anti-Islamic organizations such as the French Neo-Nazi party, Front National and the German proto-fascist PEGIDA.

Anti-Muslim attacks have also skyrocketed. According to this article written by the AP and published by the NY Daily News:
Abdallah Zekri, head of the National Observatory Against Islamophobia, said that in a 48-hour period after the Wednesday massacre at Charlie Hebdo, 16 places of worship around France were attacked by firebombs, gunshots or pig heads — a major insult to Muslims who don’t eat pork.
All of this in spite of large denouncement of terrorism from the French-Muslim community, as well as groups across the Western World. The Anti-Muslim rhetoric alienates allies within the Islamic community, is poor international policy, and is as deplorable as the original attacks, as it silences people. It should come as no surprise that the Front National, a far-right movement, would capitalize on the killing of left-wing cartoonist. It is filled with deplorable douchebags, who wish for the eradication of non-white, non-Catholics from France.

I drew another cartoon, this time to speak out against violence in the name of Jesus.

Fuck 'em all. I know this probably won't piss off the right people, but it makes me feel better:

KKK fucks over christianity
Terrorism once again fucks over the religion of peace
