The attack on #CharlieHebdo magazine headquarters is a stark reminder that we live in a very dangerous world.\u00a0<\/p>\n
No one should be afraid to say what they want and express their views in their art the way they want. Growing up in #lebanon and around censorship cultures i learnt to grow out of it while in lebanon and grew my liberties once i moved to the UK.<\/p>\n
My father left lebanon in 1978 because he was a political cartoonist and could not work in a country that was living a nasty civil \/ sectarian war which erupted first by killing the minds, artists and views of its people.<\/p>\n
I was always taught to have my own opinion and not be afraid of expressing myself in my art and words.<\/p>\n
This attack left the press hurt and it should be a reminder of all other journalists and artists who lost their lives worldwide.<\/p>\n
For the Charlie Hebdo team : Sorry you had to die like that ! We are being surrounded\u00a0by dangerous minds and we need to take care so we pave the way for a safer world.<\/p>\n
It is not with violence that we change minds.<\/p>\n
below some of my father : Mahmoud Kahil Cartoons on Freedom of Press and the way he resisted being silenced!<\/p>\n
