Since its inception in 1970, Charlie Hebdo has published jokes, cartoons and reports on Catholicism, Islam, Judaism, politics, culture, etc. The name Charlie Hebdo was derived partially as an inside joke on Charles De Gaulle, the French ruler who still influences French politics. The name is also based on Charlie Brown, the lead character of the famous comic strip, Peanuts.

Charlie Hebdo was not new to threats and protests as their writings 'threatened' fanatical groups and religious organisations.

Charb (Stéphane Charbonnier), the editor of the magazine till he was gunned down in the attacks, was already on the most wanted list of Al-Qaeda organisations for his anti-Islamic writings.
