Another cartoon which gets straight to the heart of the attack on Charlie Ebdo is one by the French artist Delize.
The text says: "Believers hurt by non-believers" (the man crying on the left) and "Non-believers hurt by believers." (the man lying in the pool of blood on the right).
The issue for Islam is why a minority yet a significant number of followers seem to believe that violence and even murder is a reasonable way to respond to someone who disagrees with or challenges their views on religion.
