Analysis Of The Charlie Hebdo Tragedy

Since January 7th 2015, Voltaire seems to have come back to public media spotlight. The famous quote of Voltaire: "I do not agree with what you say but I’ll defend to the death your right to say it", is now equalized with the very famous: "Je suis Charlie". Why 40 world leaders abandoned the affairs of their own countries and flew to Paris when the Charlie Hebdo's cartoonists were killed?

So, how can we justify the bullets shot in the bodies of the Charlie Hebdo staff? The guilt of the shooting is to a great extent found in the degrading, trivialized cartoons and ideas of the French magazine. Religion is not a thing we should degrade and brutally mock, when the world is trying to erase religious
