Humor makes this place a better world. Even when humor is about religion. My home country, Belgium, is famous for its cartoons and cartoonists. It is so much part of my culture, hard to imagine having grown up without. I truly hope this attack will grow awareness and only make the world of cartoons and satires grow stronger. We need their voice, we need them!
Let us all unite, try to understand, learn and seize the opportunity to make this place a better world ! Let's Stop this Wave of Violence, any violence.
It is a wonderful world to live in and together we can make it better.
Free use of words, speech,
