French Satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo is not deterred by the violence it has attracted with the cartoons it has been drawing. Unfazed, they drew a cartoon depicting the Prophet Muhammad holding a "Je suis Charlie" sign.
Above the cartoon, the words "All is Forgiven" was printed.

The new cartoon comes a week after the Islamist gunmen raided the magazine's Paris office. The attack left 12 people dead.
The editor of the publication as well as four other cartoonists were killed in the attack.
In order to show the attackers that they are not giving in, the cover of the Charlie Hebdo issue in question has been published in advance by the French media.
Richard Malka, lawyer of Charlie Hebdo, reinforced the point as he stated that the spirit of 'I am Charlie' means the right to blaspheme.
The cartoon reaches publications outside of France such as the Washington Post, Germany's Frankfurter Allgemeine, Corriere della Sera in Italy, and the United Kingdom's Guardian.
Three million copies of Wednesday's edition have already been sold. However, the usual sales only reaches up to 60,000 copies sold each week.
At the same time, the French Members of Parliament will gather for the first time since the attack.
Israel will also be holding four funerals for four Jewish victims of a separate Paris shooting by an Islamist gunman.
The total tally of deaths came to 17, as terror attacks swamped the French capital last week.
The violence in the magazine's office began when brothers Said and Cherif Kouachi attacked the magazine's office. Witnesses said that they were shouting "we have avenged the Prophet Muhammad" after the grisly murders.
After a stand-off north of Paris, the brothers were gunned down by French security services.
In a separate attack, Amedy Coulibaly - who has been linked to the brothers - killed four people at a kosher supermarket in eastern Paris on Friday.
