  • Je Suis Charlie?
    Je Suis Charlie? Why Positive Integration of Muslims in France Reinforces the Republican Ideal By Emmanuel Todd e can now say, with the benefit of hindsight, that in January 2015 France succumbed to an attack of hysteria. The massacre of the editorial board Wof the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, as well as of several police officers and the customers of a Jewish shop, triggered a collective reaction unprec - edented in our country’s history. It would have been impossible to discuss it in the heat of the moment. The media joined hands to denounce terrorism, to celebrate the admirable character of the French people, and to sacralize liberty and the French Republic. Charlie Hebdo and its caricatures of Mohammed were enshrined. The government announced that it was giving a grant to the weekly so that it could get back on its feet. Crowds of people followed the government’s appeal to march in protest throughout the land: they held pencils to symbolize press freedom and applauded the state security police and the marksmen posted on the rooftops. The logo “Je suis Charlie” (“I am Charlie”), written in white letters against a black background, could be seen everywhere: on our screens, in the streets, on restaurant menus. Children came home from school with a letter C written on their hands. Kids aged 7 and 8 were interviewed at the school gates and asked for their thoughts on the horror of the events and the importance of one’s freedom to draw caricatures. The government decreed that anyone who failed to toe the line would be punished.

    Charlie Hebdo: An Analysis of the Framing of the Paris Attacks in Comparison with 9/11. By Laura Scholte Student number: 4019563 Supervisor: S.J.Cook Date: 3-01-2016 2 Contents Introduction …………………………………………………………………………. 3 Method………………………………………………………………………………… American media response to 9/11………………………………………………… Framing theory………………………………………………………………………. Analysis of the framing of Charlie Hebdo…………………………………………… Conclusion…………………………………………………………………………….. References…………………………………………………………………………….. Appendix………………………………………………………………………………. 3 Introduction On January 7th 2015, two masked men forced their entry into the office of French satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo and shot eight staff members. The victims were a group of four cartoonists, the editor and sub-editor of the magazine, one journalist and one columnist. Four others who were in the building at the time were also killed; that week’s guest-editor, an office caretaker, the editor’s bodyguard and a local policeman outside. Eleven others were severely injured. The reason behind the attack was the portrayal of the prophet Muhammad in an earlier issue of the newspaper. The men who carried out the assault claimed to belong to Islamist Terrorist group Al-Qaeda in Jemen and were shot by the police after a hostage situation outside of Paris. The news of the shooting spread rapidly through social media and live TV broadcasts. The Washington Post named it “France’s deadliest terrorist attack in modern memory (…)” (Witte and Faiola 2015) and U.S. President Obama’s speech on counter-terrorism and justice was quoted in many following articles. For many days after the shooting, the hashtag #CharlieHebdo was trending worldwide on Twitter. Many expressed their sympathies for the victims by changing their profile pictures to “Je suis Charlie” (I am Charlie), after the name of the newspaper.

INTRODUCTION On Wednesday, January 7, 2015, armed gunmen entered the offices of French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo and killed employees and editors of the magazine in probable retaliation for the publication of satirical cartoons depicting the Prophet Muhammad.2 The attack on Charlie Hebdo has contributed to the debate over whether publication of speech that is likely to provoke violent reactions from religious extremists should be permissible.3 Some have argued that such speech should be prohibited in order to prevent responsive violence and terrorism.4 Recently, a school of journalism dean argued in USA Today that the publication of cartoons that insult the Prophet Muhammad 1 Daniel Ortner, J.D.
