"To me it (the front page) is in Charlie's tone. It is Charlie Hebdo so we should not expect them to become kind of angelical because their team has been reduced by a tenth the way we know (mass shooting). All this year they never stopped having front pages in the same style as this one. We also have to realize that Islam is not the main target (of Charlie Hebdo), they are really critique every single religion. Every extremism. So they are in their role and are denouncing things that are not working well."

8. SOUNDBITE (French), Ali Ghanem, Paris resident:
"To me it's extremely scandalous. I am not an fundamentalist or whatever in that kind, I am a Muslim that's it. I think that those people (Charlie Hebdo) are having fun using their time to make fun of Muslim people. They know that Muslims are real believers, very sensitive when it comes to their Prophet, and they keep knocking his back when it is turned. And I never saw in any newspaper Muslims making fun of the Pope."

"I really don't understand why people are taking this (front page) as a provocation. It's a message for everybody. They are artists they have their rights to express themselves so we have to accept that. That's it. I saw the front page and to me it's not a provocation to Muslims, or Christians, it's a message for everybody. For all humanity."

15. SOUNDBITE (French), Chabi Houssem, Paris resident:
"No they should never stop. They have to continue. We should never stop (doing those kind of front pages), because if we stop we give the right to sick people (terrorist), to continue what they are doing. So we should never stop."

"After all the attacks that happened here. They (French people), know that Muslims here in France are not the same that those with Daesh (Arabic acronym for Islamic State group). People have to make the distinction and here frankly, I'm working with French people, my colleagues are French and I have no trouble with them. Really no problem."

LEADIN:
Ahead of the first anniversary of the Charlie Hebdo attacks, the newspaper has published its latest edition.
It has elicited a mixed response from Paris residents as the artists refuse to shy away from last year's atrocities.
Parisiennes buy-up their daily papers.
Today the usual batch has been joined by the latest copy of satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo.
The 32 page magazine marks the first anniversary of the 7 January 2015 attack on the paper's staff by Islamic militants.
As ever its front page is provocative - a depiction of God wielding a Kalashnikov.
Inside features obscene and offensive cartoons, the publication's surviving artists and columnists vaunting their freedom to lampoon everyone from Muslim fundamentalists to children, politicians and Catholic priests.
Surviving staff have declared the paper alive and well, but the headline announces 'The murderer is still at large'.
The headline has divided Parisiennes.
Paris resident Francoise Dufour says it is designed to offend, but that is simply Charlie's 'tone'.
"To me it (the front page) is in Charlie's tone. It is Charlie Hebdo so we should not expect them to become kind of angelical because their team has been reduced by a tenth the way we know (mass shooting)."
"All this year they never stopped having front pages in the same style as this one. We also have to realize that Islam is not the main target (of Charlie Hebdo), they are really critique every single religion. Every extremism. So they are in their role and are denouncing things that are not working well."
But for Ali Ghanem, it is deliberately provocative.
"To me it's extremely scandalous. I am not an fundamentalist or whatever in that kind, I am a Muslim that's it. I think that those people (Charlie Hebdo) are having fun using their time to make fun of Muslim people."
"They know that Muslims are real believers, very sensitive when it comes to their Prophet, and they keep knocking his back when it is turned. And I never saw in any newspaper Muslims making fun of the Pope."
Paris resident Chabi Houssem on the other hand believes the artists are not singling out any faith or religious group.
"I really don't understand why people are taking this (front page) as a provocation."
"It's a message for everybody," he says.
"They are artists they have their rights to express themselves so we have to accept that. That's it. I saw the front page and to me it's not a provocation to Muslims, or Christians, it's a message for everybody. For all humanity."
Charlie Hebdo's anniversary edition blames Islamic fundamentalists, organised religion, an irresolute government and intelligence failures for the 2015 violence in France.
President Francois Hollande honoured the 17 victims of the January Paris attacks on Charlie Hebdo, a kosher market and police.
Hollande unveiled a plaque near Charlie Hebdo's offices which read "To the memory of victims of the terrorist attack against freedom of expression."
"No they should never stop. They have to continue. We should never stop (doing those kind of front pages), because if we stop we give the right to sick people (terrorist), to continue what they are doing. So we should never stop." says Houssem.
He says he's been treated no differently since the attacks.
"After all the attacks that happened here. They (French people), know that Muslims here in France are not the same that those with Daesh. People have to make the distinction and here frankly, I'm working with French people, my colleagues are French and I have no trouble with them. Really no problem."
The country remains under a state of emergency after the 13 November attacks in Paris that killed 130 people, and extra security was on hand for Tuesday's commemorations.
