Charlie Hebdo issue No. 1011

Charlie Hebdo issue () 1011 is an issue of the French satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo published on 2 November 2011. Several attacks against Charlie Hebdo, including an arson attack at its headquarters, were motivated by the issue's cover caricature of Muhammad, whose depiction is prohibited in some interpretations of Islam. The issue's subtitle Charia Hebdo references Islamic sharia law. On 31 October 2011, issue No. 1011 of the satirical French newspaper Charlie Hebdo left the presses two days before its official publication date. The issue was retitled Charia Hebdo in facetious celebration of Tunisian Islamist party Ennahdha's election victory. It elicited mixed reactions in social media. Muhammad, the founder of Islam, appears on the cover saying, "100 lashes if you do not die laughing!" in a caricature by cartoonist Luz. The issue announced, "To fittingly celebrate the victory of the Islamist Ennahda party in Tunisia ... Charlie Hebdo has asked Muhammad to be the special editor-in-chief of its next issue", the magazine said in a statement ... The prophet of Islam didn't have to be asked twice and we thank him for it." It featured an editorial purportedly by Muhammad "Halal Aperitif" and a women's supplement called "Madam Sharia". 110,000 copies were sold of the issue on its day of publication and its management announced a reprinting. During the night of 1 November 2011 the Charlie Hebdo offices at 62 boulevard Davout in the 20th arrondissement of Paris were burned down with a Molotov cocktail. Patrick Pelloux, who writes a column for the weekly, announced that "everything was destroyed". Charlie Hebdo management said the fire was related to the publication of Charia Hebdo, and added they had "received quite a few letters of protest, threats, and insults on Twitter and Facebook". Nicolas Demorand, the managing editor of the newspaper Libération, invited the Charlie Hebdo staff to set themselves up in the Libération offices. The following day, a four-page supplement dedicated to the cartoons of Charlie Hebdo appeared in Libération.
