The "cartoon jihad" has returned, and this time around it has claimed four French cartoonists. This morning, the Paris offices of Charlie Hebdo, a satirical French newsmagazine, were attacked by gunmen who shouted the usual "Allahu akbar," but also: "We have avenged the prophet." Among the killed were four of France's most famous political cartoonists: Jean Cabut, known as "Cabu," Georges Wolinski, Bernard "Tignous" Velhac, and Stéphane Charbonnier, "Charb," who was the magazine's editor-in-chief.
