Charlie Hebdo team bites back with new issue

I dunno. That seems pretty tame. I was thinking their first issue after should be more of an obvious middle finger.

France continues to investigate:
BBC News - Paris attacks: Four arrests linked to gunman Coulibaly

French police have detained four people over the Islamist attacks in Paris on a satirical magazine and a Jewish supermarket in which 17 people died.
A woman police officer and three others are believed to have had connections with Amedy Coulibaly, who was killed by police during the supermarket siege.
A suspect named as Amar has been in custody since January on drugs charges.
But investigators have used his phone data to place him not far from the supermarket just before the attack.

Did we ever find out why they were attacked or was it just a random happening?
I heard here that there was still doubt as to the motive.
Strangely, those espousing that point have fallen silent...... they must have finally realized the truth........

...they must have finally realized the truth........

Nah.

Oh, the terrorists won by the way.

Oh, the terrorists won by the way.

If terrorism did not work, they would not do it. Europe has shown it can be intimidated into corrective action, it will happen again.

Isn't it funny how the terrorists always get the West to change their principles but the West must not ask the terrorists to change theirs?

We don't want to offend anyone.

Why do you hate freedom so much?????

Don't you know they (terrorists) are just misguided folks who need a good job and are still reeling under the yoke of Colonialism??? "Sigh"....

Who are you to say they are "misguided". Typical Western arrogance.

Apparently it was Chuck's fault.

It was just a random event, of course.

Fears the banlieues could burn again - BBC News

As Malek Boutih, a Socialist deputy from the southern Paris banlieue, put it this week: "We have been on a downward slide which has led to the point where our neighbourhoods produce terrorists. Ten years ago it was rioters, now it is terrorists."

Savannah Guthrie might revise that to "alleged mass shooting".

Charlie Hebdo: Magazine republishes controversial Mohammed cartoons

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-53985407

The front cover of the latest edition features the 12 original cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed, which were published in a Danish newspaper before appearing in Charlie Hebdo. One of the cartoons shows the prophet wearing a bomb instead of a turban. The French headline reads "Tout ça pour ça" ("All of that for this").In its editorial, the magazine says that it has often been asked to carry on printing caricatures of the prophet since the 2015 killings.

"We have always refused to do so, not because it is prohibited - the law allows us to do so - but because there was a need for a good reason to do it, a reason which has meaning and which brings something to the debate," it says.

"To reproduce these cartoons in the week the trial over the January 2015 terrorist attacks opens seemed essential to us."

The trial of the 2015 terrorist attack will start this week.

Ballsy move from all the journalists who survived the 2015 attack and who all received death threats ever since.
