Charlie Hebdo published its first cover since the attacks

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.
