No, the Arab world DID NOT celebrate the attack on Charlie Hebdo. While there were reports of Palestinians celebrating the killing of blasphemers in the West Bank and in Lebanese refugee camps, rest of the Arab world was clearly outraged. Many newspapers across the Arab world published cartoons expressing solidarity and support with the French satirical magazine.
