There have been some pretty powerful ripostes from the satirists and I take my hat off to them. The Telegraph one was a completely blank space with the caption: "Extremist Approved Cartoon".

I hope they can prove that the pen is indeed mightier than the sword.

I think the Telegraph one is actually borrowed from the New York Times. I like the Banksy one.

Still gets a message over though.

I quite like them all.

I think they are wonderful and the perfect retaliation to the mindless horror of the shootings. I am in awe of how the cartoonists minds work so quickly and poingiently.

I don't think there is a Banksy one, though there is a (good) fake.

It's on the unofficial Banksy facebook page.

I think it sums it up well!

(Fake or not)

Is it a fake by Banksy or a fake by someone else?

If the pen is mightier than the sword then the cartoons which caused these whackos to be so upset should be published by every media outlet which professes to believe in free speech. If they don't publish it is because they're scared and the terrorists will have won. Again.
Some tw*t on Sky News has just said that drawing Mohammed is racist. FFS. We're allowing these backwards neanderthals to direct what we can and can't do and it's utter, utter bollocks.
