Charlie Hebdo in new 'Muslims fail to understand satire once again' controversy

Charlie Hebdo featured two covers attacking Aylan Kurdi; a clear attack on the West's inactivity. But fearing that their outrage klaxons were getting dusty, the left has once again misconstrued something in order to cause a fuss. See for yourself:

The covers are not attacking the poor little chap; they are just CH being tasteless ...what's new ?
It's about not being a sheep and seeing beyond Charlie Hebdo's post terrorist attack elevated status

The second one is very good

It's shocking yes, but then you must ask yourself "what is more shocking, a cartoon that is possibly insensitive or that fact that it is actually happening"

Neither tbh, we're exposed to it so often ive become desensitised to it all. I think it'd probably shock me if i saw it first hand.
I did mildly giggle at the inanity of the second one lol,
The writer of the article really is a self-righteous tosser and the point seems to go over his little head.

The second cartoon is good.
