On 7 January 2015 at about 11:30am CET local time, two brothers, Saïd and Chérif Kouachi, forced their way into the offices of the French satirical weekly newspaper Charlie Hebdo in Paris. Armed with rifles and other weapons, they killed 12 people and injured 11 others. The gunmen identified themselves as belonging to the terrorist group al-Qaeda.
Several related attacks followed in the Île-de-France region on 7–9 January 2015, including the Hypercacher kosher supermarket siege.
Charlie Hebdo is a publication that courted controversy with satirical attacks on political and religious leaders. It published cartoons of Muhammad in 2012, forcing France to temporarily close embassies and schools in more than 20 countries amid fears of reprisals. Its offices were also firebombed in November 2011 after publishing a caricature of Muhammad on its cover.
@Monica. I think you speak out of ignorance or stupidity. Why do christians or others dont kill when their religion is mocked. Violence and hatred is intrinsic to islam hence the killings and beheadings. Oh you say Islam doesnt insult other religions. Why do they kill other people who do not believe in allah or the last day. Why do they kill apostates who leave islam. I suggest you read up on islam seriously.
This is not a freedom of speech, is totally disrespected to Muslims and injustice . Imagine if someone insult your religion or believed how do you feel, anything you feel that is how Muslims feel, stop insult the Muslims prophet and their believed.
Nothing more than religion and believed, Muslims never insult anyone religion so don’t insult they religion this is justice.
