And here’s the irony:

The sudden global prominence of Charlie Hebdo, which before typically sold only half of its usual 60,000 printed copies in France, has saved it from imminent bankruptcy.

The newspaper, named after the American comicbook character Charlie Brown (“Hebdo” is French slang for weekly), had only in November made a public appeal for donations to keep going.

Back then, of the one million euros ($1.2 million) it sought, it received only 26,000 euros. Closure seemed inevitable.

But now, French media have rallied around the title to offer whatever help it needs, and the French government is looking at releasing public funds to bail out Charlie Hebdo. Several government agencies have taken out subscriptions. Even banks have become subscribers.

Bravo Salafi crackheads, they have managed to make a publication that no one knew of outside of France into an icon of Western resistance against Islam. Its own demise was already imminent, had it not been for the acts of the two Salafi fuckwits.
