My sympathies to the families and friends of the murdered cartoonists and staff of Charlie Hebdo magazine. I hope the cowards responsible are hunted down and punished to the full extent of the law.
If religion was the trigger, then inevitably the atrocity will give right-wing groups and their supporters more excuses to hate Muslims and immigrants. But this isn't about religion or faith. It's about twisted psychopaths using religion as an excuse to commit murder.
Long may all cartoonists and satirists continue to use their weapons of choice, - their imaginations and their drawing tools, - against such evil. As Steve Bell said on BBC News:
"We've got to stand up for the right to take the piss out of these monsters, these idiots, these fools, these posturing maniacs who strut around in their black gear as a kind of death cult trying to frighten us all."
