(SPOT.ph) On January 7, Wednesday evening here in Manila, unidentified gunmen committed what is now tagged as a terrorist attack on the Charlie Hebdo headquarters in Paris. Charlie Hebdo is a magazine famous, or infamous, for doing satirical pieces on various subjects, but more so for their courage to do illustrations of the Prophet Muhammad.
The attack left 10 journalists and two police officers dead. People all over the world condemned the attack, using the hashtag #CharlieHebdo and #JeSuisCharlie ("I am/We are Charlie Hebdo") to show solidarity.
Perhaps most affected by the attack were cartoonists and they did what they do best to express what words cannot describe.
Michael Shaw’s old editorial for The New Yorker (2006) was instantly shared by thousands when the news broke.
Christian Adams, from The Telegraph, replicated the sentiment
