PARIS: Up to 3 Million copies of Charlie Hebdo could hit newsstands this week, dwarfing its usual print run of 60,000, in response to soaring demand for the first edition of the satirical weekly since last week’s deadly attacks by Islamist militants.
Seventeen people, including journalists and police, were killed in three days of violence that began on Jan. 7 when militants burst into Charlie Hebdo’s office during a regular editorial meeting and shot dead five of its leading cartoonists.
Liberation newspaper, now temporarily housing Charlie Hebdo operations, revealed the front page of the Jan. 14 edition via Twitter late on Monday – an image of the Prophet Muhammad holding a sign saying “JE SUIS CHARLIE” (“I am Charlie”) below the headline “TOUT EST PARDONNE” (“All is forgiven”).

An initial batch of 1 million copies will be available on Wednesday and Thursday, said Michel Salion, a spokesman for MPL, which distributes Charlie Hebdo. A further 2 million could then be printed depending on demand.
“We have requests for 300,000 copies throughout the world – and demand keeps rising by the hour,” Salion said, adding that the newspaper usually had just 4,000 international clients.
“The million will go. As of Thursday, the decision will probably be taken to print extra copies … So we’ll have one million, plus two if necessary.”

Have you guys ever been sued for making a fake picture of the prophet Mohamed since no one knows how he looked , I find these cartoons ridiculous and its a matter of time before Muslims start depicting christian characters in the same manner you do there’s ,Hmm that sounds like a good money maker for a Muslim to get into demonizing Christian prophets .Lol
