Surviving Charlie Hebdo Journalist is ready to forgive killers

One of the surviving members of Charlie Hebdo’s staff said the cover of the first edition since the massacre should help “open the door to forgiveness” for the terrorists who killed her colleagues.

Zineb El Rhazoui insisted the team did not feel hatred towards the men and recognised “the struggle is with an ideology” as she spoke of the difficult task of injured and traumatised staff pulling together the issue.

And she said putting a cartoon of the Prophet Mohammed into three million homes was an important way to show the spirit of the slain Charlie Hebdo journalists would not be silenced.
