Charlie Hebdo will now print 5 million Sp Edition copies after the 3million sold within first hours.

EDIT: The magazine said it would print up to 5 million copies of its "survivors' issue", with the profits from the sales to go to the victims' families.

Thank You Sunseeker for clarifying.
I Couldn't imagine it any way but this.

1. That is cool, have they announced how much they are giving to the families of the dead? n/t

[misterhighwasted]

2. No statements about that yet. Something we shall research & inquire about.

As close knit a group as they seem to be, it would surprise me if they didn't care for the families of the murdered.

Personal monetary profit doesn't appear to have been their lifelong mission. The message was their mission. IMO

4. Incorrect. They already said all profits are going to victims' families.

The magazine said it would print up to 5 million copies of its "survivors' issue", with the profits from the sales to go to the victims' families.

5. They have. ALL of the profits are going to victims' families.

See my response to misterhighwasted.

7. SEE POST from Sunseeker. Edited for clarification.

As I said, their lifelong mission was the message. Hardly to benefit monetarily for themselves.
Unlike a for profit business.

Bless them all

8. Awesome

I'd love to get my hands on an English edition without having to empty my bank account.

9. Would be cool to have a copy wouldn't it.

I would buy a million copies & scatter them over Syria. If I had the cash.
Perhaps just a few would be enlightened.

10. Conservatives don't like the freedom that Charlie Hebdo has. Even here in DU. nm

11. Amazing. Long Live Charlie Hebdo, and may they continue to commit "blasphemy" against Islam for a

long time to come. Along with blasphemy against other religions, as well. "Blasphemy", indeed.

What is a thousand times worse than "blasphemy"? Being a crazed religious fanatic and thinking this means you get to kill the "unbelievers".
