On January 7, 2015, Said and Chérif Kouachi assaulted the offices of the French satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo, leaving twelve people dead, including the magazine’s editor Stéphane Charbonnier and other well-known French cartoonists. The publication, which had caricatured the Prophet Muhammad, had already been threatened on several occasions since 2006 when it first reprinted cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad that had originally been published by the Danish newspaper Jyllands-posten. Worldwide news coverage described the 2015 attack as “among the deadliest in postwar France” (New York Times, January 7, 2015). Expressions of public outrage and large rallies supporting Charlie Hebdo took place in Paris and other cities around the world. Under the slogan Je Suis Charlie (“I am Charlie”), two million people marched in Paris’s Place de la République on January 11, bringing together sentiments of solidarity with the victims and freedom of expression. The slogan became a symbol of the spirit of French unity amidst what was considered a national trauma. However, this unifying rallying cry rapidly turned into a complex and, to some extent, exclusionary label. The slogan did not appeal to those who, under the opposite slogan of Je Ne Suis Pas Charlie (“I am not Charlie”), utterly condemned the attack but refused to show their support for the magazine’s editorial (Badouard 2016).
