It is surprisingly difficult to get a linkable copy of this image on the internet.

Defiant Charlie Hebdo depicts Prophet Muhammad on cover

http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-30790409'

This week's edition of French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo will show a cartoon depicting the Prophet Muhammad holding a "Je suis Charlie" sign.

Above the cartoon are the words "All is forgiven". This comes after Islamist gunmen last week raided the magazine's Paris office, killing 12 people.

Meanwhile, French MPs will gather for the first time since the attack.

In Israel, the funerals will be held for four Jewish victims of a separate Paris shooting by an Islamist gunman.

A total of 17 people were killed in three days of terror attacks in the French capital last week.

About 10,000 troops are being deployed across France after the attacks, and a huge unity rally was held in Paris on Sunday.

'Not giving in'

The latest cover of Charlie Hebdo has been published in advance by French media. Outside France, the Washington Post, Germany's Frankfurter Allgemeine, Corriere della Sera in Italy and the UK's Guardian are among publications to show the cartoon.

Relatives of Yoav Hattab, a victim of the attack on the Paris kosher supermarket, gather for his funeral near Jerusalem, 13 January 2015 Mourners at the funerals of victims of the supermarket killings have begun gathering in Israel

Members of the Zaka emergency response team pray beside the coffins of four victims of an attack at a kosher supermarket on Friday, before their transport from Paris to Israel for burial, 12 January 2015 The bodies were flown overnight from France to Israel

The slogan in French "Je suis Charlie" ("I am Charlie") was widely used following the 7 January attack on the magazine, as people sought to show their support.

Three million copies of Wednesday's edition are being printed. Normally only 60,000 are sold each week.

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

Survivors of the massacre have been working on the magazine from the offices of the French daily newspaper Liberation.

Five of Charlie Hebdo's cartoonists - including the editor - were killed in the attack.

The new edition will be created "only by people from Charlie Hebdo", its financial director, Eric Portheault, told AFP news agency.

Contributions from other cartoonists were declined.

Eulogies

The four Jewish victims of the supermarket attack - Yoav Hattab, Philippe Braham, Yohan Cohen and Francois-Michel Saada - will be buried at the Givat Shaul cemetery in Jerusalem on Tuesday.

    Yohan Cohen, 22, worked at the kosher supermarket
    Philippe Braham, 45, was a business manager for an IT firm
    Yoav Hattab, 21, was a student and the youngest supermarket victim
    Francois-Michel Saada, 64, was a former pension fund manager

Their bodies arrived before dawn on a flight from France for the ceremony which is due to take place around noon local time (10:00 GMT).

The victims' relatives will recite a traditional prayer and read eulogies. The office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the families had asked for the burials to take place in Israel.

Mr Netanyahu and Israeli President Reuven Rivlin will speak at the funerals - a measure of the connection Israel feels with events in Paris, the BBC's Kevin Connolly in Jerusalem reports.

Their challenge is to find words to address the sense in Israel that the dead were victims of a mood of anti-semitism as well as an act of Islamist extremism, our correspondent adds.
New footage

The violence began after brothers Said and Cherif Kouachi attacked the magazine's office. Witnesses said they shouted "we have avenged the Prophet Muhammad" after the shootings.

The brothers were later killed by French security services after a stand-off north of Paris.

Separately, Amedy Coulibaly - whom investigators have linked to the brothers - had killed four people at a kosher supermarket in eastern Paris on Friday before police stormed the building.

Coulibaly is also believed to have shot dead a policewoman the day before.

His partner Hayat Boumeddiene is now believed to be in Syria. She has been identified as a suspect by French police, although she left France before the attacks.

Six people suspected of belonging to a cell behind the Paris attacks are still thought to be at large, French police have told AP news agency.

It quotes police as saying they are searching the Paris region for a Mini Cooper car registered to Boumeddiene.

Newly-released CCTV footage appears to show her arriving at an Istanbul airport in Turkey on 2 January.

Abbott promised no tax hikes & no cuts to the ABC

There's a 'budget emergency', so we will give $9 billion to the Reserve Bank, spend $12 billion on some dubious jets, $2 billion to bomb Iraq, etc.

Well done bb. You refuse to reproduce cartoons mocking Islam in the face of a sustained global campaign by Muslims against freedom of speech, because you think it is wrong to upset them. But you have no problem reproducing cartoons against Jews, Christians etc.

Perhaps you are just afraid to post a Muhammed cartoon? Or do you want to point out how banal the cartoons are that make Muslims riot in the streets? What point are you trying to make? Did you think it might upset someone?

The life of Brian? How many artists and actors were slaughtered in the riots following the release of that movie?

Some of them are. Admittedly I do not always get French humour. Cods would you like us to ban it for not being funny?

Quote:

Tolerating humour and protecting freedom of speech makes us civilised. It makes our society superior. Why are you trying so hard to make terrorists our equals Cods? Are you afraid to say that freedom of speech is a good thing?

Quote:

There are plenty of cartoons about domestic violence. Mocking wife beaters is a good way to shame them. One of my favourite songs is about wife beating.

Quote:
abuse of children even babies.. wow lots of amusing cartoons on that subject I bet..


I bet if we were more open in mocking Muslims about Muhammed's pedophilia, there would be less children being raped in the world. Would you like that, or is it more important not to hurt the feelings of the rapist, because they wrap their pedophilia in a blanket of religious sensitivity?

Ian do you think this website should be censored for reporting on the Charlie Hebdo story?

And no Christian killed Martin scorcesee when he made the movie THE LAST TEMPTATION OF CHRIST, back in 1988, which attracted protests from christians. especially with a sex scene between jesus and mary of magdalene.

...

And he still lived and went on to make GOODFELLAS, THE DEPARTED AND RECENTLY THE WOLF OF WALL STREET.

Meanwhile, the west is struggling to defend the right to draw a funny picture of Muhammed, in the face of sustained efforts by Muslims, through a variety of means, to outlaw it or make people too afraid to exercise their freedom.

Nothing to do with Islam of course.

It seems to me that we can either approach serious and sustained abuses with satire (an age old practice, mostly of those with no other "power" at their disposal), or, we could act with bloody minded terror and violence in response to those who are perceived to have done the wrong thing (be they Muslims because of terrorism, Christians because of child abuse issues or even Politicians because of, well, being Politicians).

I personally think using a pen/pencil is probably preferable to a gun/knife or bomb. Maybe that's just me.
