Charlie Hebdo

A Poem by Baby Ricochet
"

A tribute for the victims and for the people of the city of Paris. One of the greatest cities in the world.

"
The prophet avenged 
by another senseless slaughter 
But the city of lights 
kept burning

Parisians are like Newyorkers. You can't scare them. You just piss them off

as a Muslim myself, I'm completely against what those terrorists have committed, though I consider that the drawings are very offensive because they do not reflect our prophet's acts, they reflect what have the extremists have done to our religion as they tarnish its reputation, not much is still to say that the subject goes beyond a drawing and self expression and religion, it is what it is now and I know i represent the minority of muslims that do understand the true values of our religion, but unfortunately the picture looks pretty daunting from another non-muslim perspective, and I can understand that.

Thank you for the photo. We can allow fear to overtake us. Time for us to keep the unwanted out of free countries. If you want to live in a Muslim country. Fine. Stay home and leave the free people alone. I'm tire of the coward acts of violence.

I daresay, the pun between prophet and profit slaughtered was quite a clever one that works together quite nicely. A prophet, a profit, both avenged by another senseless slaughter, as you put. What really brings this piece together isn't the pun (although that accents the piece cleverly), but the statement in the end. Still, the city of lights burns on despite these senseless actions, despite blood having been shed for the most senseless reasons.

This truly is one of the best tributes to the tragedy I have read, so far. Well done, truly.

True words and I sincerly hate that all of this is going on in the world
Why the heck do they do that? what do they win?
I doesn't make sense and yet there are people killing their own race...
