IS: Mohammed cartoon ‘stupid’

Today more disturbing video of the gunmen behind the Charlie Hebdo massacre has emerged, showing the terrorists celebrating the slaughter

THE Islamic State group's radio has described French satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo's publication of a new cartoon of the Prophet Mohammed as an "extremely stupid" act.

"Charlie Hebdo has again published cartoons insulting the prophet and this is an extremely stupid act," said a statement read on Al-Bayan radio, which the jihadist group broadcasts in areas under its control in Syria and Iraq.

The terrorist group's comments come as a top leader of Yemen's al-Qaeda branch appeared in an 11-minute internet video, saying that the massacre at Charlie Hebdo was in "vengeance for the prophet."

Nasr al-Ansi, a top commander of al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, or AQAP as the branch is known, said France belongs to the "party of Satan" and warned of more "tragedies and terror." He said Yemen's al-Qaeda branch "chose the target, laid out the plan and financed the operation."

Yemen's al-Qaeda branch claimed responsibility for last week's attack on a Paris newspaper when two masked gunmen killed 12 people, including much of the weekly's editorial staff and two police officers.

REVEALED: How the Paris terror attack will affect us all

In the past, Al-Ansi has condemned Islamic State's horrific act of publicly beheading hostages, saying: "No doubt, some of our brothers were affected by seeing scenes of beheadings that were spread recently. We do not accept and we strongly reject them."

Meanwhile, Iran has also condemned the publication the new cartoon of the Prophet Mohammed by the French satirical magazine, saying it was "insulting" and "provocative".

The magazine cover "provokes the emotions of Muslims and hurts their feelings around the world, and could fan the flame of a vicious circle of extremism," said foreign ministry spokeswoman Marzieh Afkham.

Iranian officials denounced the massacre the day it occurred and Afkham said on Wednesday that such attacks "have no closeness or similarity to Islam" and are "in complete contradiction to Islamic teaching".

However, Ms Afkham she indicated that the new cartoon "is not acceptable" and such "abuse should be prevented".

"Respecting the beliefs and values of followers of divine religions is an acceptable principle," she said.

CHARLIE HEBDO PRINTING TWO MILLION MORE

The criticism of the new edition comes after distributors said Charlie Hebdo will print two million more copies of this week's issue after overwhelming demand for it.

"The editor decided this morning to increase the print run to five million," said Veronique Faujour, head of press distribution firm MLP

One newsstand just off Paris' Champs Elysee sold out at 6.05am — five minutes after opening.

At Saint-Lazare, people hoping to buy a copy scuffled when they realised there weren't enough to go around.

The UNDP union representing news vendors throughout the country said the new Charlie Hebdo issue had sold out across France hours after it hit newsstands.

A total of 700,000 issues of the magazine were distributed but other copies of the magazine will be made available for sale throughout the week.

Several copies of the publication had already found their way on to eBay where they were attracting three-figure bids, well in excess of the 3-euro ($A4.50) cover price.

Meanwhile, the daily Cumhuriyet newspaper in Turkey printed a four-page pull-out containing cartoons and articles translated into Turkish from the latest Charlie Hebdo issue. Along with a Charlie Hebdo editorial about how it would not give into the attacks, the excerpts in Cumhuriyet included cartoons satirising Nigerian Islamist group Boko Haram and other jihadists. The pull-out edition did not include the controversial front cover of the new Charlie Hebdo, which shows a cartoon of the Prophet Mohammed.

However a smaller version of that cartoon was included on page five of the newspaper itself in a column by Cumhuriyet commentator Hikmet Cetinkaya.

Sources at Cumhuriyet said there had been a long debate about printing the edition, which ended in the printing of a shorter pull-out version rather than the full issue of the French weekly. Cumhuriyet was founded in 1924 at the behest of the founder of modern Turkey, Mustafa Kemal Ataturk

FACEBOOK POST SPARKS COMIC'S ARREST

French comedian Dieudonne has been arrested for being an "apologist for terrorism" after writing a Facebook comment suggesting he sympathised with one of the Paris gunmen, a judicial source says.

Prosecutors had opened the case against him on Monday after he posted "Tonight, as far as I'm concerned, I feel like Charlie Coulibaly" — mixing the popular slogan "Je Suis Charlie" used in homage to the journalists killed at magazine Charlie Hebdo, with a reference to gunman Amedy Coulibaly.

Coulibaly killed four Jews at a Jewish supermarket on Friday and a policewoman the day before.

The comedian made international headlines in 2013 when French footballer Nicolas Anelka was banned for five matches by English football authorities for using a hand-gesture created by Dieudonne that many people consider anti-Semitic.

Dieudonne made his controversial Facebook post after attending Sunday's unity march against extremism that brought more than 1.5 million people onto the streets of Paris after the attacks.

He described the march — considered the biggest rally in modern French history — as "a magical moment comparable to the big-bang". The government has in the past banned Dieudonne's shows because it considers them "anti-Semitic".

In response to the interior minister's comment, the comedian said the government was trying to "ruin my life" when "I am only trying to make people laugh".

He has removed the offending remark from his Facebook page.

CHILLING NEW FOOTAGE OF GUNMEN

New video footage has emerged of the moment two gunmen fired on French police — minutes after killing 12 people and wounding ten others in the Charlie Hedbo newsroom massacre.

In the footage, which was filmed by a bystander watching the terrorist attack unfold from an upstairs office window, brothers Said and Cherif Kouachi can be seen calmly returning to their getaway car after the killings.

Staggeringly, the masked pair appear in no rush to flee the scene, talking among themselves as they reload their weapons before slowly driving away.

The terrorist brothers managed to flee the scene and evade police by hiding out in a printing factory before being killed in a police raid on January 9.
