In September there was a knife attack with two wounded in Paris due to the reissue of the controversial cartoons of Muhammad in the satirical newspaper “Charlie Hebdo”. The confessed perpetrator is a 25-year-old Pakistani who claims to have acted “angry” at the Prophet’s interpretation.
The satirical newspaper expressed a “feeling of horror and outrage” after Friday’s event on the online service Twitter. Intolerance “has just crossed a new threshold.” In January 2015, Islamists carried out an attack on the editorial staff of “Charlie Hebdo” in Paris due to the cartoons, killing twelve people.
