The world is still reeling from news of the Paris terrorist attacks, and moments after the attacks the hashtag #PrayforParis trended all over social media. Joann Sfar, a cartoonist at Charlie Hebdo, the magazine that was the target of terrorist attacks earlier this year, posted this cartoon, asking people to NOT pray for Paris--saying Paris does not need any more religion, and that it is a time to "feel" and "heal" not separate. Do you agree with this cartoon's message?
