Street Artists Respond To The Charlie Hebdo Attacks - #JeSuisCharlie - #OpCharlieHebdo

Over a million people, along with many world leaders, marched in Paris over the weekend to show solidarity and defiance after the abominable attacks at satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo's offices last week.

After the gunmen struck, the world's cartoonists were quick to unite and put pen and pencil to paper to draw their reactions, which were heartfelt and moving, and stand up for free expression.

But along with the world's cartoonists responding to the attacks, the street art community has also showed solidarity with those killed. And produced its own responses.

Here's some of them.

Along with these street artists, The Simpsons also expressed solidarity at the end of Sunday night's episode with this image of Maggie.

Also, hacking collective Anonymous recently declared their own war on Islamic extremists, posting the following video online which stated:

"Attacking freedom of speech is attacking Anonymous. We will not permit it. Any organisations or enterprises linked to those terrorists attacks should expect a massive reaction from Anonymous. We are tracking you down. We will find you and not leave you any rest."

They claimed their first victim over the weekend, taking down the Jihadist website Ansar-alhaqq.net for a brief time on Saturday.
