One of the little-discussed details in the wake of the terrorist attack on the Paris offices of satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo centers on a book featured on the front cover of its current edition.

The book, which has reportedly caused controversy in the days leading up to its publication over perceived "Islamophobia," imagines the future election of a Muslim leader of France, which heralds a broader Islamization of the EU.

Its title is "Soumission" or "Submission" in English ("submission" being the literal definition of the Arabic word "Islam"), the newest work of celebrated and controversial French author Michel Houellebecq.

"Soumission" was released in bookstores today, January 7, with one Bloomberg writer already questioning whether the attacks on Charlie Hebdo are linked to the book's publication.

The Paris Review describes the novel as follows:

In the “History Repeats Itself” department, the gooners will be watching Paris’ response to this, and if the government does nothing, like I believe it will, ISIS will start moving on their political parties and infrastructure. This attack is just a probe of the Frenchie’s weak resolve that hitler’s boys found before.

Their next move may be to go after anti-Islamization groups.

Marine Le Pen needs to beef up her security, because French President Hollande doesn't like her anyway.
