  1. Translated from French, means "I am Charlie". It is a slogan adopted in protest to a murderous January 7, 2015, attack on the Paris-based publication of "Charlie Hebdo". The attack was perpetrated by Islamic extremist in retaliation for the publication's lampooning of Mohammad.

Je suis Charlie!
