Charlie Hebdo Refuses To Give In, Prophet Mohammad To Appear On The Front Page

Charlie Hebdo, the same French satirical magazine that was ravaged by the terrorists last week, will have Prophet Mohammad's cartoon on its front page in its latest edition that will hit the stalls on Wednesday.   

The cartoon depicts the Prophet holding a placard that says "Je suis Charlie." And above the cartoon are the words "All is forgiven." The decision of the magazine to publish the cartoon after the attack is touted by many as an act of extreme bravery.  

 

The cover photo is doing rounds in the French media prior to its release.

The slogan "I am Charlie" is being used all across the world across various social platforms to show support to the magazine and to those who lost their life in the attack.  Three million copies of the magazine are being printed; normally Charlie Hebdo sells around 60000 copies per week. 

"We will not give in. The spirit of 'I am Charlie' means the right to blaspheme," Charlie Hebdo's lawyer Richard Malka spoke on Info radio.

Around ten thousand troops are deployed across France in the aftermath of the terror attacks that took 17 lives in total and rendered many injured. a huge unity rally was held in Paris on Sunday.
