‘Charlie Hebdo’ cover will feature Muhammad saying ‘Je Suis Charlie’

After the tragic events last week that saw 12 staff members murdered by crazed gunmen, “Charlie Hebdo” is staying strong.

In the first issue since the attack, the magazine has vowed to not give in or give up their right to freedom of speech, Newsweek says.

The cover comes out Jan. 14 and will feature the Prophet Muhammad holding a sign reading “Je Suis Charlie,” the saying that has captured the world since the murders. Written above the cartoon will be the words “Tout est pardonne” or “All is forgiven.”

But is the staff really offering forgiveness? Reporter Lauren Leger survived the attack and says not quite. She says this issue will also address the motives of the many politicians who flocked to the march in Paris Jan. 11.

“It’s been extremely moving. And also hypocritical. All of a sudden, we are supported by the entire world. Whereas for years we were completely alone,” she told the (Wall Street) Journal.”

A million copies of the magazine will be shipped to distributors for free this week. The French Postal Service has also offered guaranteed free delivery for a year, Newsweek reports.
