I was wondering if TL's French posters could give us their opinion on the magazine? I'm trying to get a sense for what it is the paper does, and I don't trust pretty much anyone who isn't "around" the magazine regularly. What I just replied to a friend who posted an article saying Charlie Hebdo was racist:
The point that the article you linked to seems to completely miss is that Charlie Hebdo cartoons only represent racism and xenophobia to fight them and ridicule them - that's the entire point of satire. Their targets were notably racism, xenophobia, religious extremism and religious symbols, but they did NOT target religious people. Mocking religious symbols and institutions (such as the Pope, Jesus, Mahomet, etc.) is NOT racist or xenophobic. Attacking religious people (muslims, christians, jews, etc.) is, and that is NOT what Charlie Hebdo was doing. All of the covers cited in the article mock religious symbols, religious extremists (see the one where Mahomet is weeping, the "cons" he refers to are the extremists, as highlighted in the text next to the picture, not the muslims in general), or mock right-wing xenophobic fantasies about the Other (the drawing on the final "welfare queens" cover does NOT attack muslim women asking for welfare but the exact opposite: it is there to ridicule right-wing fantasies about immigrants profiting from welfare). The message of the cartoons is the OPPOSITE of racist, it is antiracist and works through satire, irony and ridicule. The author of your article completely misunderstands this and reads them at face value (au premier degré), which is not at all how they work. Also, contrary to what is asserted in the article, Charlie Hebdo did not only target Islam and islamic extremists but all religions and religious extremism in all forms.

There is also explosion on the left right at the start. The police is most likely shooting blanks. I can't see a professional shooting real bullets from an angle like that. What ? Lol. The policemen were on either side of the door, with the middle open to let one or two guys fire through hidden by the car but having a better view. Shooting blanks ? Wtf how can you think that... They communicate via radio, voice and hands, and have clear procedures on how to move and when to shoot/wait/storm through...
It would be way too risky to shoot through your fellow policemen from that angle. ESPECIALLY while they are kicking the glass and door down. Sure, we cannot see the whole situation clearly enough to know how much space there is to shoot through. This is common knowledge to anyone that has done any military training what so ever, or even if you'd use your common fucking sense.
And why blanks? Well, first off, you don't need live ammunition for every fucking man when there is dozens of them around the entrance. Secondly, i'm sure its more common than you think to create some kind of diversion using blanks. Thus in a situation like this, it seems more likely than reckless shooting through your friends. Tell me why would someone be shooting from there, if the guys next to the door could shoot inside just as well, SAFELY.

Joking aside almost everybody I know will be at the march in Paris. A good party to end this nightmare and pay our respect to the dead.

CNN says that woman is on the run. "Female suspect in supermarket siege escaped as hostages ran away, a French police union spokesman says." --CNN

There's no freeze room in an imprimery. Hmm that seems logical. Was just quoting an official from the police who just said that when they were speaking about imprimery assault, maybe he messed up, so did I.
edit : well the "print shop" was kinda huge so there could be anything in it according to my poor knowledge in printing :p But yes you were right that scene was indeed in the supermarket, several people included a child locked themselves into it when the terrorist entered the supermarket.

so female suspect escape confirmed or not? also would that be other dudes gf or another so far unknown?

LeMonde reports of several degradations made on mosques in France over the past two days (Le Mans, Saint-Juéry, Aix-Les-Bains, Liévin, Béthune, Vendôme, Corte, Rennes, Bischwiller). It goes from nazi symbols to pork heads. There have been various calls from Imams asking to fight against the "Muslim = terrorist" amalgam. Source
