A swath of prominent American literary figures are [worried by the support for *Charlie Hebdo*](http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2015/05/05/america-s-literary-elite-takes-a-bold-stand-against-dead-journalists.html?ref=onemanandhisblog.com) after the shootings earlier this year. but their arguments don’t always tarry with reality:

> Elsewhere, the #JeSuisCharlie brigades were admonished for affiliating with an anti-Arab magazine whose “staff was white,” a point not contested by editor Moustapha Ourrad because he had annoyingly just been murdered by religious psychopaths.
