In 2012, Luz, a cartoonist with Charlie Hebdo, said, “A pencil is not a weapon. It’s just a means of expression”. Whenever a painter or a cartoonist draws, his/her paintings or drawings cannot be directed, dictated or constricted by religious dogma. Cartoons are expression of creative and individualistic thoughts and a reaction to the call of time and crisis. Killing cartoonists means birthing more cartoons. It is time we tutor more tolerance and freedom of expression to fight terrorism.
