Julian Vigo is the author of "Je ne suis pas Charlie" - an article I should have included in We Are NOT Charlie Hebdo: Free Thinkers Question the French 9/11. In this article we discuss the mythologized islamophobia that has swept over Western culture, with particular attention to the Charlie Hebdo incident.
