The issue of Charlie Hebdo is scheduled to be shipped to newsstands on Tuesday and put on sale on Wednesday. Resuming publication is a triumphant moment for the magazine, and one celebrated by journalists around the world. It is also a highly provocative momentas Monday’s cover indicates.
Many Muslims find depictions of Mohammed to be deeply offensive, and there has been speculation that Wednesday’s attackers were motivated in part by past Charlie Hedbo cartoons.
The new cover closely resembles a 2011 cover that showed Mohammed in front of a green background. The magazine’s offices were firebombed at the time of that issue’s release.
