This is the only good article I have read so far on this whole mess. It backs up many of the things others have been saying here.

How ironic.
An article that says "We need to understand context", yet reprints a cover of Charlie Hebdo without context, in order to accuse them of racism or islamophobia.
I didn't read the article myself, but googled about the context. Conclusion: Charlie Hebdo was not mocking the Boko Haram victims.
But then, I'm not expecting much from a site called "al-akhbar".

Boy, you sure showed them.
Anyway, look at this, an even better article I just found! Well, it's not so much an article as much as it is a short yet righteous rant.

Not better than the first IMO. But I am not surprised to see how quickly the "only good" article can be followed by an "even better" article.
