Charlie Hebdo publishes cartoon on Bangladesh | Dhaka Tribune

The new edition of the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo has published a cartoon on Bangladesh, depicting some garment workers sewing t-shirts with the slogan "Je suis Charlie."

In the cartoon, some garment workers, wearing ripped dresses, are seen sewing t-shirts containing the slogan Je suis Charlie.”

Je suis Charlie-I am Charlie" emerged as a message of support for the magazine following the attack on 7 January, which left eight journalists, including its editor, dead in addition to four others.

The caption of the cartoon on Bangladesh read: “Pendant ce temps, au Bangladesh,” which means “See, what is happening in Bangladesh, on the other hand.”

The cartoon probably contained the message that the selling of those t-shirts with the slogan “Je suis Charlie” has widely been increased as the slogan emerged as a message of support and the Bangladesh factories are making a good business over it.

A worker, busy in sewing a t-shirt, has been seen saying: “De tout coeur avec vous,” which means “We are with you.”


The new edition of the magazine has gone on sale, with a cartoon depicting the Prophet Muhammad on its cover.

Long queues have formed at newsstands in France for the latest edition of the satirical magazine on Wednesday.

Five million copies are being printed - a week after Islamist gunmen murdered 12 people at its offices and five others in subsequent attacks in Paris.

It is believed earlier cartoons of the Prophet provoked the attack on the magazine.

The cartoon shows the Prophet weeping while holding a sign saying "Je suis Charlie" ("I am Charlie")

Referring to last week's shocking events, French Prime Minister Manuel Valls said his country was at war with extremism and terrorism - but not with Muslims.

He was speaking on Tuesday after funeral ceremonies were held for seven of the victims in France and Israel.

France has deployed 10,000 troops at various sites across the country - including synagogues, mosques and airports - in response to the attacks.

I think the attack was staged by the magazine (with the help of Mossad) itself for increasing the sales. They printed 5 million copies which they never did before. Any person with a sane mind can crack this. This is clearly a propaganda by west to defame and malign Islam. Also, Islam is in danger.

And now, they are making fun of Bangladesh to increase sales in India. Everyone in the world knows that Indians love to make fun of Bangladesh all the time. This cartoon is nothing but a marketing tactic to increase sales in India.
 
their action are being justifies the killing of those cartoonist. Bangladeshi garments should stop making t shirt with i am charlie slogan.
 
This cartoon actually shows that Bangladeshi workers and society in general is not Islamist. In spite of being Muslims, they choose to sympathize with the victims.
 
Some of the posters above seem to be jumping the gun and taking offence without understanding the meaning.

I find these cartoons to be hilariously ironic, not to mention thought provoking. I'm sure there is no racism involved, but I'm willing to be edified.
 
Bangladesh should produce bikinis with "Je suis Charlie" slogan :angel:

I don't think that's the message. The message is that Bangladeshi sweat shop workers will capitalize on any opportunity to make money. (Which is completely understandable, and justified.) Even the spike in sales of the "I am Charlie" t-shirts, although presumably offensive to their religious sensibilities, is still a business opportunity to be taken advantage of.

If those sell, they should.

We've got an anti-semitic lunatic on the loose!

Back to topic. It's sad, but true, that we Indians and Bangladehis don't look too different from these cartoons characters. :P

I guess you cracked that one. But then thats the beauty of satire, it can interpreted differently.

I like to think they are saying multiple things here, very impressive.
