When France’s Charlie Hebdo published a cartoon portraying two pig-like men chasing two terrified women with the upper left corner of the image with incscription referring to Aylan Kurdi, the Syrian toddler who drowned in the Mediterranean Sea last year, the Queen of Jordan posted on Twitter an otherwise very positive thought about the boy.
