Charlie Hebdo published its first cover since the attacks — and it's perfect |
The French satirical newspaper's "survivor issue" cover, which hit newsstands Wednesday, features an image of the Prophet Muhammad holding a "Je Suis Charlie" sign, along with the words "Tout est pardonne," or "All is forgiven." The new cover is a cheeky jab at Islamic extremism with a powerful message: Despite the bloodshed at the newspaper's Paris offices that left 12 dead less than a week ago, Charlie Hebdo will not be silenced. + The magazine is returning with an estimated print run of more than 3 million copies, far higher than the paper's normal run of 60,000. It will also be translated into 16 languages. + With one comedian's joke, France is facing its first post-Hebdo free speech challenge. + Mic's Marcie Bianco: "The conflict at the heart of the Charlie Hebdo saga has nothing to do with Islam and everything to do with art and cross-cultural representation." + #FoxNewsFacts is the best response to the network's insane, troubling dialogue on Islamic extremism. + If white people were expected to apologize for every act of extremism the way Muslims are, here's how absurd it would sound. |
