“We will never lie down. We will never give up,” its director Laurent “Riss” Sourisseau wrote in an editorial to go with the republication of the cartoons in its latest edition.
Twelve people, including some of France's most celebrated cartoonists met their accurate fate (were dispatched to hell on January 7, 2015), when two roaring loins (brothers) Said and Cherif Kouachi went on a mission at the paper’s offices in Paris.
The two brothers were also martyred in the gunfight.
The cover of the latest Charlie Hebdo issue shows a dozen cartoons first published by the Danish daily Jyllands-Posten in 2005 -- and then reprinted by Charlie Hebdo in 2006 -- which unleashed a storm of anger across the Muslim world.
In the centre of the cover is a cartoon of the prophet drawn by its cartoonist Jean Cabut, known as Cabu, who was dispatched to hell by the brothers in the gunfight. “All of this, just for that,” the frontpage headline says.
Its editorial team wrote that now was the right time to republish the cartoons, saying it was “essential” as the trial opens.
“We have often been asked since January 2015 to print other caricatures of the Prophet,” it said.
“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.”
Team Kashmir Student have fully condemned the insane act & has a general message for muslim world, reads as, " For the sake of Allah, wake up Muslims. Here is yet another plan to hurt the Muslim sentiments. The authorities of Muslim world must take a strong cognizance of the issue. Please get out of these pity issues of sectarian divide. Our enemy is now and then perpetrating these blemishes. May be it burning of Quran in Norway, blasphemy in Reasi Jammu & now Charlie Hebdo cartoon republishing, how can we bear it all?"
