It is not funny

Charlie hebdo's insensitive cartoon of the dead Syrian boy and the refugee crisis reflects the hatred and the contempt of its publishers. Making fun of somebody's misery, laughing at an innocent child's death is not a thing of civilized people. It just reflects the lack of human values and the hatred for anyone who is different from them.
Freedom of speech is a great freedom but every right comes with an inherent responsibility. Speech should not be in mocking fun of the poor and the destitutes rather it should be with responsibility. Humor cannot be at the expense of somebody's emotions, it cannot be at somebody's misery. Humor should be a weapon of change, it should be used to curb social evils. It is not humor if it mocks at basic human rights.
