The satirical French magazine Charlie Hebdo is under fire once again, this time over a cartoon commenting on the stories of Muslim refugees allegedly sexually assaulting women all over Europe.
In the cartoon, the Muslim refugees are depicting as apes chasing a woman with the text of the cartoon stating, “What would little #AylanKurdi have grown up to be? Ass groper in Germany.”
Is this #CharlieHebdo cartoon on #SyrianRefugees #racist? | https://t.co/mVMlnZn37G pic.twitter.com/9DA1JQLO8f

Aylan Kurdi was the Syrian boy in the viral photograph from last year who drowned on a Turkish beach.
But how can Charlie Hebdo be racist if it’s criticizing the very people who think Aylan Kurdi would grow up to be a rapist? That’s the point of the cartoon — to be controversial — which will be lost on liberals who find racism in everything.
