With regards to tumblrians who are tired at having to defend their 'jesuischarlie' stand- I have to say this one thing.

Stand by what you believe in. Don't show anybody on this godforsaken website that you're getting pissed by their attitude. Don't let them know that you're getting tired. 'Tired' shouldn't even be in your vocabulary.

Take my advice. Believe me. I've had years of experience in these things.

Every time the media puts together 'Terrorist, 'Islamist', 'Radical', 'Fundamentalist,''Muslim'- it stings a little. And it has, ever since I could read the newspapers and 9/11 happened. I identify myself as a Muslim, and I do not like having the word 'terror' being associated with me every. single. time i switch on the news. But hey. 

What about Ferguson? LGBTQ community? Palestine? Are they getting tired?

The truth is, we are all getting sick (and tired) of the world not listening to us, of having to defend our ideology and beliefs. We're sick of being made fun off, as if the things we stand for don't matter to the rest of the world. But that doesn't mean we're going to stop defending our ideals. 

So to the 'jesuischarlie' community. Keep on trudging.

And I'll reiterate my own belief that the Charlie Hebdo newspapers were crass, tasteless, and lacking in common courtesy. Did they deserve the terror that befell them? Not. At. All. Did they deserve the international call for solidarity in the name of free speech? I guess it depends on which end of 'free speech' you're referring to. Did you mean 'free speech' much in the same vein as Hebdo's ape comics? Really, you enjoyed that? 

Press on forward with your defense. At the end of the day, when you're all worn out, you can join us at the table sharing a drink (non-alcoholic for me). Because we're all tired from fighting our battles. More often than not, we may even be on opposing ends. But if the 'free speech' that you're fighting for is the same one that enabled me to speak my mind and confirm my right to publicly tell you about my discomfort with the #jesuischarlie movement, then surely you will allow me to have my say. Surely, you will not be too tired to listen to what I have to say.
