Huge lines to get new edition of Charlie Hebdo; sells out within minutes

Jan 14, 2015 4:01 pm By Robert Spencer

Charlie Hebdo's newspaper first day delivering in ParisThe people are unbowed and ready to stand for freedom. The mainstream media and the leaders of the West, not so much. “Charlie Hebdo ‘All Is Forgiven’ edition sells out in minutes,” Reuters, January 14, 2015:

The first edition of Charlie Hebdo published since last week’s deadly attack by Islamist gunmen sold out within minutes at newspaper kiosks around France on Wednesday, with readers queuing up for copies to support the satirical weekly.

It came as al Qaeda in Yemen claimed responsibility for the attack, saying it ordered the killings because it deemed the weekly to have insulted the Prophet Muhammad. A total of 5 million copies of the so-called “survivors’ edition” are to be printed, dwarfing the normal 60,000 print run.

“I’ve never bought it before, it’s not quite my political stripes, but it’s important for me to buy it today and support freedom of expression,” said David Sullo, standing at the end of a queue of two dozen people at a kiosk in central Paris.

“It’s important for me to buy it and show solidarity by doing so, and not only by marching,” said 42-year old Laurent in the same queue, adding he had no guarantee he would get a copy because he had not reserved one the day before.

A few streets away, by Jules Joffrin metro station in northern Paris, one newspaper seller said people were already waiting outside her shop when she opened at 6 a.m. “I had 10 copies — they were sold immediately,” she said….

In a video posted on YouTube, al Qaeda in Yemen said its leadership had ordered last Wednesday’s attack.

“As for the blessed Battle of Paris, we, the Organization of al Qaeda al Jihad in the Arabian Peninsula, claim responsibility for this operation as vengeance for the Messenger of God,” Nasser bin Ali al-Ansi, a leader of the Yemeni branch of al Qaeda (AQAP), said in the recording.

Ansi, the main ideologue for AQAP, said without elaborating that the strike was carried out in “implementation” of the order of overall al Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahri, who has called for strikes by Muslims in the West using any means they can find.

It was not immediately possible to verify the authenticity of the recording, which carried the logo of al Qaeda’s media group al-Malahem….

Dieudonne M’bala M’bala — a French comedian who has been convicted in the past for anti-Semitic comments — was detained for questioning Wednesday for writing on his Facebook account “Je suis Charlie Coulibaly,” adding the surname of one of the gunmen to the ubiquitous “I am Charlie” vigil slogan.

Bordeaux mosque rector Tareq Oubrou urged French Muslims not to overreact.

“I don’t think the Prophet of Islam needs stupid or excited reactions,” he told BFM-TV. “Freedom has its down sides and we must live with them.”

Egypt’s Grand Mufti on Tuesday warned the newspaper against publishing a new Muhammad caricature, saying it was a racist act that would incite hatred and upset Muslims around the world.

What race is insulting Muhammad again? I keep forgetting.

    Cursed Felony of Paris

    The blessed Battle of Paris my ass. Naming it so puts it as the equivalent of Verdun or Bastogne, when in reality it was a simple mass murder operation, not a meeting of two armies in a struggle to control a major swath of strategic land.

    First visit to this website, It makes sense. I’ve had enough of the mainstream media’s over tolerance of a hateful ideology and adherents who think they’re better than the people who value freedom, equality and the rule of law. I think things will change.

      Welcome, Neal! Opposing Jihad is the great fight of our times, as opposing Fascism was for our grandparents.

    The people are unbowed and ready to stand for freedom.

    Or, as the taqqyia peddlers would spin it, “the French people are islamophobic racists and we’re very offended”.

    I am all for freedom of speach, dont belive in “Islamaphobia” as a phobia is a fear. Hate anti Semitism, dont agree with political correctness or multiculturism.
    That said…
    What do they mean by “All is forgiven”? maybe Im a little blank on this but I dont get it? I want to buy the mag/paper just to see what it says and to be Je Suis Charlie, Juif

      I was pondering the “all is forgiven” statement too. I’m not sure the families are ready to forgive. They are all probably devastated.

      Forgiveness is the teaching of Christ, and I think it might refer to that. Perhaps a bit of a “compare and contrast” exercise.

    “…the strike was carried out in “implementation” of the order of overall al Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahri,…”

    In Egypt, Ayman al-Zawahri’s brother is in jail, facing justice and possible death sentence. He’s not alone; all the Muslim Brotherhood leaders have been arrested, including Morsi, the ex-president of Egypt.
    Remember, in the US, the Muslim Brotherhood are everywhere, including the WH.

    JIHAD WATCH
    “As for the blessed Battle of Paris, we, the Organization of al Qaeda al Jihad in the Arabian Peninsula, claim responsibility for this operation as vengeance for the Messenger of God”
    …………………………………..

    “Blessed Battle of Paris”—this is how these Jihad thugs characterize armed gunmen mowing down peaceful, unarmed journalists, cartoonists, and shoppers. Cowards.

    More:

    Egypt’s Grand Mufti on Tuesday warned the newspaper against publishing a new Muhammad caricature, saying it was a racist act that would incite hatred and upset Muslims around the world.
    …………………………………..

    Not only is there there the absurd reference to “racism”, but notice the ambiguity of the reference to ‘inciting hatred’—this is usually taken to mean inciting hatred against Muslims, but of course this talk of “backlash” is false. The hatred is all from pious Muslims.

    And what do Muslims do when they are “upset”? Why, they slaughter Infidels…

    God, I hate Islam.
