For those that maybe do not know: last week a group of religious fanatics murdered 17 people, 12 at the headquarters of Charlie Hebdo a satirical magazine in Paris, France. The reason for the murders? They found certain cartoons depicting their idol offensive. That is literally it.

But what these fanatics, now dead (killed by police) didn't realise is that you can not extinguish freedom of expression with mere bullets and bombs, the only thing that can kill it is to put the pencil down out of fear that your views and opinions may mean death for you and your loved ones. Never stop expressing yourself, never stop being free, because that is when evil wins.

We are all artists
We are all entitled to our opinions
We are all in danger of ignorance
We are all Charlie
