Muslim groups say sold-out edition of Charlie Hebdo causes fresh offense

All three million copies of the latest issue of the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo have sold out, within hours of going on sale.


Another two million copies will be distributed on Thursday, just a week after gunmen attacked the magazine's headquarters in Paris killing 12 people.


5 others died in a related attack on a Kosher supermarket in Paris.


The latest edition of the magazine has a cartoon depicting the Prophet Mohammed on its front page.


That's drawn criticism from some Islamic organizations.


Farooq Aftab is a spokesman for London's Ahmadiyya Muslim Youth Association.


IN:  "I would prefer….."

OUT:  "….never be right"
