Paris is preparing itself for the anniversary memorial of the 17 victim double terrorist attacks that targeted both Charlie Hebdo’s magazine center and a Jewish store, on January 7th 2015.

French satirical weekly, Charlie Hebdo, elected its commemorative edition’s cover, mocking religious values and agitating Muslims again. The magazine revealed Wednesday’s special edition cover on Monday, which viewed a bearded man representing God with a Kalashnikov slung over his shoulder, accompanied by the text: “One year on: the assassin is still out there.”

The cover awakened a wave of lash backs over social networking in France. The French Council of the Muslim Faith’s President Anwar Kbibech, also issued a statement on Monday, where he expressed his feeling of insult towards the featured cartoon.

“France, all in all, needs initiatives strengthening tranquility and reconciliation, however the present cartoon does not set us onto that track, the French need to consolidate their array” Kbibech’ssaid.

In his statement he explained, “This cartoon targets all believers regardless of their religion, and if it’s on the account of freedom of expression of the press, then the freedom of expression of the believers should also be in view”.

“I do not find myself in this depiction of god; it violates all values held by monotheistic religions. God stands for mercy, and embodies both peace and the brotherhood of man”, Kbibech added.

Council President Kbibech considered the cartoon, on the artistic level, trivial.

Moreover, all the aforementioned coincided with the revealing of three memorial portraits at the January 2015 attack sites, in the presence of the French Prime Minister Manuel Valls, several other Ministers, official figures, and victim’s families.

In his speech to the French on New Year, French President François Hollande confirmed the importance of harmonious coexisting among all French communities and components, and his commitment to the fight against terrorism.
