Cartoonist Zunar Condemns Massacre In Paris, Proposes 7 January Be Declared 'World Cartoonist Day'
Following the shooting at satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo, Malaysian cartoonist Zunar has come out strongly condemning the shooting, and proposing that 7th January should be declared as "World Cartoonist Day".
"I STRONGLY condemn the killing of four cartoonists from the satirical Charlie Hebdo magazine. Act of violence, barbarity and brutality are against Islamic teaching," Zunar said, further adding, "7th January should be declared as "World Cartoonist Day" to honour Stéphane Charbonnier, Cabu, Wolinski and Tignous."
He said that his stand is clear that "every cartoonist should be allowed to criticize parties through his/her cartoons". He said that any disagreement over the said cartoons should be responded in a civilized manner, i.e intellectual discourses, open debates and other civilized damage-control methods.
"Even though we do not agree with the contents, we should respect the cartoonists' rights to express their views," he added.
Zunar further said that "in regards to Islamic content issues, as a Muslim myself, I would like to challenge the Muslim authorities around the world to work closer with cartoonists to produce cartoons that can show the true image of Islam – a religion of peace, tolerance and moderation. Terror is unacceptable in civilized world."
