They are using a Hergés Tintin to as an emotional symbol of the Bryssel attacks. Tintin’s foreplay with racism comes to mind. “Land of the Black Gold” is a bad influence. Found a text “Tintin in the Arab World and Arabic in the World of Tintin” excavating Hergés relation to the Arabic world. It’s not a flattering portrayal but avoids throwing cheap punches.
