The aunt of drowned Syrian refugee boy Alan Kurdi says a controversial new cartoon from French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo is "disgusting."

"I hope people respect our family's pain. It's a big loss to us. We're not the same anymore after this tragedy. We're trying to forget a little bit and move on with our life. But to hurt us again, it's not fair," said Tima Kurdi from her home in Port Coquitlam, B.C.

The cartoon suggests that Alan Kurdi, had he grown up, would have been like the sexual attackers in Cologne, Germany, on New Year's Eve.

Yeah, well guess what -- he probably would have.

Hebdo is disgusting ...

So???

In this instance, they're not wrong. And the mohammedans invading and infesting Europe are far worse than merely disgusting.

Wasn’t the story about the 3-year’s old’s dad being a ‘refugee’ debunked last year?

Yes, they had been living on the dole in turkey for a few years but wanted better free stuff.Also, drowning victims bodies sink and don’t rise until decomposition gases form. Curious as to how his body washed up so quickly. Also pictures of turks posing the body.

I didn’t see any of the photos until last week and found it “odd” that someone would stand next to a small child face down in the dirt/water as would the photographer (neither felt compelled to roll the child over, etc..).

Similarly disgusting was the use of a dead child to release millions of rapists into Europe.

Europe’s eyes are slowly opening up to the danger of Islam. The Euroweenies should remember that the men who harassed their women in Cologne were not just run-of-the mill men but were f’n MUZZIES. Repeat after me: MUZZIES! Remember that they were bearded Barbarians — the same group of people that has waged war on Europe since the 6th century. You idiot Euroweenies should read the history books written by your very ancestors and start guarding yourself against any influx of this evil cult into your borders. Wake up Europe and don’t fall asleep like America.
