Paris Attacks: Poignant Cartoon Uses #PrayForParis Hashtag To Plead 'We Don't Need More Religion'

One cartoonist has used the hashtag campaign which emerged following Friday's terror attacks in Paris to plead: "We don't need more religion".

Leading French cartoonist and filmmaker Joann Sfar wrote the message quickly after the #PrayForParis began trending worldwide.

Sfar appeals for the world to remember the life of Paris in their tributes, not just to commemorate those murdered by the terrorists.

He wrote:

Friends from the whole world,

Thank you for #PrayForParis,

But we don't need more

Religion! Our faith goes

To Music! Kisses! Life!

Champagne and joy!

#ParisIsAboutLife

Nonetheless, millions have taken to social media to offer their gestures of support following the incidents which took place on Friday evening.

Sfar has previously drawn a tribute to the terror attacks at the offices of satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo which took place in the French capital in January.
