“Je suis Charlie”: the freedom of the press

by Dishana Tevanantham

On the morning of 7 January 2015, at about 11:30 , two Islamist terrorists armed with assault rifles and other weapons forced their way into the offices of the French satirical weekly newspaper “Charlie Hebdo” in Paris. They killed 11 people and injured 11 others, and shouted "Allahu Akbar”" (Arabic for "God is [the] greatest") during their attack. 

TERRORISM IS AGAINST THE ISLAM VALUES

by Erradi Firdaous

I read everything and even more on the Internet after the storm provoked by the terrorist attack in Paris. I read too many things, too many frenzies, too many meaningless sentences. I heard too many people speaking of something they don’t know. Too much

ignorance. 

THE WHOLE WORLD SAYS # JE SUIS CHARLIE

The ^7th of January 2015 will remain like a scar in the heart of France after two members of Al-Qaida killed 17 people in cold blood, 12 of whom being part of the Charlie Hebdo magazine editorial staff.

The whole tragedy occurred because of the publication of caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad, to whom the Arab extremists have responded in an unexpected way. The caricatures are actually illustrated satires used to straighten some habits, not to insult or mock people or events; therefore they must be treated properly. These exaggerated reactions must be stopped because it is unacceptable for the whole population to stand in fear of being attacked or even killed because they freely express their view.
