“The first cover of the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo after a terrorist shooting at its Paris headquarters has been revealed. As expected, the cover defiantly features the Prophet Muhammed, in response to the radical Muslim gunmen’s efforts to silence the often controversial magazine.
The cover features the Prophet Muhammed holding a sign that says “Je Suis Charlie,” the popular slogan being used by many in support of the magazine. Above Muhammed’s head are the words “All is forgiven.”
Released this Wednesday, the special issue will have a special printing of 1 million copies, with the ability to print as many as 3 million, according to Reuters.”

It wasn’t a small, little cartoon. It was the only western magazine that still dared to publish images of the prophet Mohammed and now they have been silenced and no other Western publication will dare to publish similar cartoons.
I always liked your programming. You say it like it is. Very brave for defending freedom of speech and criticizing the cartoonists murderers. I will continue to watch your programming. Thx. for keeping it real.
