Turkish cartoonists threatened after Charlie Hebdo attacks, no surprise considering Hamas celebrates attackers. HT: AlMonitor.
While the Islamist Turkish Gov declares that Wanted terrorists from Terror organization are welcome to stay in Turkey, their own Turkish critical cartoonists are being threatened.
I learned about the Charlie Hebdo attack from a phone call in the early morning hours of Jan. 7. The messenger was a political satirist and friend calling from Istanbul. He was calm as he explained the brutal attack. Then he said, “I received a call from a private number. The voice on the line ordered me to turn on the television to take a sneak peak at my own future.” It was not the first time my friend had been threatened. When I asked what he was going to do, he replied with his usual dark humor, “I will first mourn the loss of my colleagues and caricaturize my sorrow.” Read the full story here.
