Paris magazine at center of terror attacks usually prints 60,000 copies. But reports say that demand for the issue is such that even its plans to ramp up printing to one million copies and then three million were insufficient.

Charlie Hebdo, the satirical magazine at the center of the recent terror attacks in Paris, has increased the print run for its current issue to 7 million copies, nearly 120 times its usual run.

The magazine, the focus of a brazen January 7 attack in which its editor and several other staffers were killed by Islamist terrorists, normally runs 60,000 copies.

But media reports say that demand for the issue is such that even its plans, announced in recent days, to ramp up the printing to one million copies and then three million, were insufficient.

Proof that people all across Europe are fed up with the way their governments ignore the muslim menace.

Pope (defender of murdering muslims) is not going to like this news.

Thos guys better bank the profits because the next issue of that scuzzy hate-filled rag will be back at the regular numbers. This is just a sympathy buy. Like that stupid album that one country band put out.... what was their name? Wait a sec. It’ll come to me....... Oh yeah, The Dixie Chicks. Boom! One big sale. Then oblivion.

This is just a sympathy buy.

Certainly, sales will drop over time, but if there are a million copies one day not selling, I'd like to see them freely distributed in France's No-Go zones. Heck, fly over them and drop the copies.

Newsstands in several major cities have the issue, I know it was in Montreal and New York for sure - ask your local vendor that carries the international papers.
