“KALEM Allah-u Ekber, Ne kutsal bir söz öbeği kimilerince, Oldu mu şimdi birilerini öldürürken söylenince? Çölde kum tanesi kendini kaktüs belleyince, Dikenlerini saplamadan duramaz imiş işte! Senin kalaşnikofların var, Benimse kalemim. Senin ölüm tarlaların var, Benimse dolmayı bekleyen düşdefterim. Sen simsiyah nefretinle büyüyorsun, Bense rengarenk çizgilerimle. Ben yaşamak ve özgürce çizmek istiyorum, Sen beni ekberin için öldürüyorsun. Oldu mu şimdi söyle, Ha kardeşim? Farkında değilsin, Sen aslında bensin, Ben de Charlie'yim! #JeSuisCharlie *** ÖZGÜR SANAT ASLA VE ASLA SUSTURULAMAZ!”

“Die Grenze verläuft nicht nach Religionszugehörigkeit, sie trennt vielmehr Extremisten und friedliebende Menschen. Deshalb bin ich optimistisch: Es wird nun ein humanistischer Islam wachgerüttelt. Der moderate Islam muss endlich aus der Deckung treten und erklären, wie mit den gewaltverherrlichenden Stellen im Koran umzugehen ist. Die Verdrängung, das habe nichts mit unserem Glauben zu tun, funktioniert nicht länger. Wir müssen uns dieser Herausforderung stellen.”

“Wouldst like to con a glimmer with me this early black?’, which he [Cab Calloway] helpfully explains as ‘the proper way to ask a young lady to go to the movies’. It should be noted here, that if the object of your affections replies ‘Kill me’, they are not requesting to be euthanatised and you should not actually murder them. Kill me is merely the Cab Calloway way of saying ‘Show me a good time’ and is the best response you could have hoped for. Jive was rather confusing in this way.”
