The offices of Charlie Hebdo, a satirical weekly French magazine, were burnt down in a firebomb attack on the 2 November 2011 - the same day that it published a special edition entitled 'Charia [Sharia] Hebdo' with the Prophet Muhammad depicted as editor-in-chief. The burning down of the publisher’s offices – in Paris’ 20th arrondissement, home to a large Muslim community – evoked memories of the publication by Danish newspaper, Jyllands-Posten, of 12 controversial cartoons of Muhammad in 2005. French Prime Minister Francois Fillon said freedom of expression was an inalienable right in France and no cause could justify such violence. |
