After the attacks against Charlie Hebdo in January 2015, the slogan “I am Charlie” (Je suis Charlie) spread all over the world through social media and was everywhere on banners during the demonstration that followed nationwide, in which 400,000 people participated (Houllier-Guibert, 2016). Islamophobia or generalised anti-Muslim feelings increased concerningly in this period (Beaman, 2021), a rift was formed between, on the one hand, Republican France (“us”) and, on the other hand, Muslims (“them”) and the marginalised areas they were associated with (Niang, 2019). “Charlie” came to be synonymous with freedom, equality, democracy, and laïcité, while those that were opposed to Charlie were associated with obscurantism, barbarism and violence. As a result, Muslims in France could not make themselves heard. Spivak’s expression that subalterns cannot speak resonates therefore very strongly with the quote above.
