I am Charlie
My right of expression
I am permitted to voice out my thoughts

Whenever I come across the tragedy of the #jesuischarlie I cannot help but experience emotions of anger and sadness. Journalist were brutality killed at the Charlie hebdo headquarters for expressing their opinions through drawing a cartoon.I understand that certain topics such as matters of religion are sensitive but really they can be addressed positively and not with this barbaric behavior.charlie hebdo shooting.
I just wonder what our world is turning into, we are human beings and we have our own opinions on some matters. 
I strongly believe that we should be able to express our opinions without fear,be it politics, culture, religion or economy. It is our right as human beings given by the creator Himself.

  •  What is freedom of speech if it cannot be practiced?
  •  What is freedom of speech if I cannot raise my opinions without fear of being killed?

Paris terrorist attack Charlie Hebdo LIVE FOOTAGE SHOOTING UNEDITED this footage truly shocked me, the whole attack is just horrible very cruel, its a full footage for the brave hearts and let me warm you its very heart breaking.
At this stage I also fear for my life as I am about to post the pictures of the suspects who were involve is the shooting. 

  • Is this how we are suppose to feel when we want to express our thoughts? 
  • Is this the new feeling for freedom of speech?

Jesuischarlie, I am charlie, I will forever share my opinions 















 Some say no weapon is greater than a pen, and as the former late president of South Africa  Mr Nelson Mandela once said '' for to be free is not merely to cast off one's chain, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others"  to me this words mean I can be whoever I want and I can say whatever I like. I don't understand why violence should be used when ordinary people, journalist and cartoonist express their our opinions in a creative manner. This reminds me of the story where an artist drew the president, yes it was a sensitive issue but it was addressed in a fair manner and not death Joburg Art Fair removes Zuma painting
  • May justice be served
  • May this event never happen again in any part of the world 
  • May the Creator have mercy for all our souls, so for do wrong
  • May love dwell in every human being
  • May the saviors arm open wide and forgiveness find out hearts  
  • May the Creator protect all journalists and protect our opinions
