Satirical French magazine Charlie Hebdo has been branded 'bigoted and racist' after the latest issue wrote that the fear of being labelled Islamophobic is 'aiding terrorists'.

An editorial column in its latest publication called 'How Did We End Up Here?' suggested that terror attacks, such as recent ones in Brussels and Paris, happened due to direct and indirect contribution from all Muslims.

It also added that too many people were scared to speak up about wrongdoing due to Islamophobia saying terror attacks happened as they were the 'last phase of a process of cowing and silencing long in motion and on the widest possible scale.'

Issues of the controversial satirical French magazine Charlie Hebdo. In its latest editorial, the publication wrote that the fear of being labelled 'Islamophobic' is 'aiding terrorists'

Charlie Hebdo is known for its controversial content and the editorial comes just over a year since 12 people were shot dead at the magazine's offices in Paris in January 2015 by brothers Said and Cherif Kouachi.

It prompted the hashtag 'Je Suis Charlie' as an act of solidarity against the shooting, which also saw two million people take part in a protest march in Paris days after the attack.

The offices of the same magazine were burnt down in a petrol attack in 2011 after running a magazine cover of the Prophet Mohammed as a cartoon character.

In the latest editorial, Charlie Hebdo refers to a recent lecture by Islamic preacher Tariq Ramadan at Sciences Po, a French public research institute in Paris.

They note although he has done nothing criminal, he will only talk and preach about Islam.

The editorial says: 'His task, under cover of debate, is to dissuade people from criticising his religion in any way.

'The political science students who listened to him last week will, once they have become journalists or local officials, not even dare to write nor say anything negative about Islam.'

Meanwhile further down in the piece, the magazine claims that even normal Muslim people such as women wearing burqas and Muslim bakers, have all contributed to terror attacks.

They added: 'None of what is about to happen in the airport or metro of Brussels can really happen without everyone's contribution.

'Because the incidence of all of it is informed by some version of the same dread or fear...The dread of being treated as an Islamophobe or being called racist. Really, a kind of terror.'

The comment piece then concluded: 'From the bakery that forbids you to eat what you like, to the woman who forbids you to admit that you are troubled by her veil, we are submerged in guilt for permitting ourselves such thoughts.

'And that is where and when fear has started its sapping, undermining work. And the way is marked for all that will follow.'

But the piece has provoked controversy with some with writer Shadi Hamid tweeting it was 'remarkably bigoted' as well as 'lazy, vacuous and unselfconsciously absurd.'

The editorial has been published online on the Charlie Hebdo website in both English and French.
