This week's Charlie Hebdo to feature more anti-Islam cartoons
2015-01-13
[DAWN] This week's edition of Charlie Hebdo
...A lefty French satirical magazine, home of what may well be the majority if the active testicles left in Europe...
, put together by survivors of last week's newsroom massacre in Gay Paree by Islamist gunnies, will defiantly feature more caricatures targeting Islam.

The special issue, to come out on Wednesday, will also be offered in 16 languages for readers around the world, one of its columnists, Patrick Pelloux, said.

Charlie Hebdo's lawyer, Richard Malka, told French radio the staff will cede nothing to forces of Evil seeking to silence them.

The two gunnies who slaughtered 12 people in their attack on Charlie Hebdo's offices last Wednesday, including five of its top cartoonists and three other staff members, claimed as they left the scene that they had avenged the Prophet Mohammed (PTUI!).

That was a reference to the fury expressed in some Moslem countries over past Mohammed (PTUI!) cartoons which Charlie Hebdo had printed.

The gunnies, brothers Cherif and Said Kouachi, claimed to belong to the jihadist group Al-Qaeda in Yemen.

They were killed on Friday, as was an accomplice claiming affiliation to the rival Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
group, Amedy Coulibaly, in separate but coordinated French commando raids on sites in and near Gay Paree where they had taken hostages.

In all 17 people and the three Islamist attackers were killed in three days of violence.

Charlie Hebdo's offices were Molotov cocktailed without casualty in 2011 when it published cartoons targeting the prophet (PTUI!).

The surviving Charlie Hebdo staff have since Friday been working out of the offices of another French newspaper, Liberation, with equipment loaned by other media organizations. Their own blood-soaked offices remain sealed by police, with the entrance covered with flowers, pencils and candles in tribute to the dead.

The 44-year-old newspaper has always sought to break taboos with its provocative cartoons on all religions, current events and prominent personalities.

It had been sliding towards bankruptcy before the attack against it. It used to typically sell only half of the 60,000 copies it printed weekly.

But since gaining worldwide notoriety in the past few days, it has earned pledges of support from the French government and media groups.

One million copies of this week's special survivors' issue are to printed, with many of them to be made available outside of La Belle France.

It will be created only by people from Charlie Hebdo, its financial director, Eric Portheault, told AFP. Offered contributions, notably from cartoonists in La Belle France and other countries, were declined.
