In defense of freedom of expression

| January 16, 2015

By Farhang Jahanpour (first published by TFF Associates & Themes Blog) We Are Charlie (cartoon by Touka Neyestani) The Wednesday edition of Charlie Hebdo (a week after the barbaric attack by two deranged terrorists on its premises) carried a cartoon of Prophet Muhammad, with a caption Je Suis Charlie, with a tear drop on his face announcing, all is forgiven.

The murdered officers, chosen at random, were Rafael Ramos, a religiously devout Hispanic, and Wenjian Liu, the son of Chinese immigrants whose father works as a presser in a laundry sweatshop. The murderer, Ismaaiyl Brinsley, a twenty-eight-year-old black man with no known political affiliations, had shot his girlfriend in Baltimore, traveled to New York intent on killing cops, and then finished himself off with the same gun on a nearby subway platform.
