Cartoon: Not as it seems

I have many moderate, freedom-loving Muslim friends who have expressed to me their abject fear of what could happen to public sentiment in the wake of the Charlie Hebdo murders.

Already the #JeSuisCharlie tag is beginning to morph grotesquely into a de facto right wing French nationalist rallying cry against Muslims.

There are 1.6 billion Muslims in the world, almost all of whom have done nothing wrong. It’s extremely important to remember that.
