A series of cartoons appeared in the latest issue that mocks Europe’s response to the crisis. In one cartoon, a child resembling Aylan lies face down near a promotional sign advertising a meal deal for children with the caption, “So close to making it.” The other cartoon shows a Jesus-like character walking on water—the joke being that Christians can float while “Muslim children sink.” The response to the cartoons has largely been negative, with some threatening legal action. Those upset suggest the cartoons cheapen the death of Aylan and the thousands of other refugees who have drowned trying to seek asylum in Europe. . . #charliehebdo #france #refugees #aylankurdi #muslims #syrianrefugees
