What are some opinions about the ambiguous statement 'Je suis Charlie Hebdo'?
I would disagree that it is ambiguous, more that it is disingenuous. Ambiguity means that the meaning of the statement is unclear, but "Je suis Charlie Hebdo" means "I stand in solidarity with Freedom of Speech, a freedom for which employees of the magazine Charlie Hebdo gave their lives." I haven't seen a markedly different understanding of the phrase elsewhere.The reason that I find it disingenuous is that many of the same people who got into the "Je suis Charlie Hebdo" movement are the same ones who wish to silence the type of speech that Charlie Hebdo produced not one day prior. They only support Charlie Hebdo because people were murdered, not really because they hold to the value the Freedom of Speech protects all kinds of speech. They will still argue that by providing horrendous caricatures of Muhammad, the writers at Charlie Hebdo "invited" the attack in some way. I find that as ridiculous an argument as the argument that a woman "invites" rape by wearing sexy clothing. A person exercising their rights in a free society bears no responsibility for the malfeasance that others find "necessary" upon discovering the presence of such a right being exercised.

Why would the newest cover on charlie hebdo magazine be controversial?
The related cover of Charlie Hebdo (Jan.14, 2015 - the first after the terrorist attack on their staff) could be controvertial because there is a depiction of a bearded man (suggesting it could be the Prophet Muhammad pbuh) holding a protest sign. It is very likely that the author (a survivor of the attack) wanted it that way. The protest sign reads "je suis Charlie" (I am Charlie), which was the widespread motto at the unity rally three days after the attack, while the holder is crying under the headline "tout est pardonné" (all is forgiven).Charlie hebdo is a satirical weekly newspaper which made it its special mark to be provocative, trying to make fun or ridicule extremism and religions. It is known for being the first (and maybe only) French newspaper who reprinted the well-known Muhammad cartoons.It is forbidden by Islam to depict God, or his prophet, although there had been depictions of them in the Muslim world in history.
What does Charlie hebdo do?
Charlie Hebdo is a satirical and provocative weekly newspaper, making fun of the establishment, political elites, religions. It runs lots of cartoons based on their perception of the news, comments, editorials. Politically on the left side (a mix principally between Communists and Anarchists), they dislike particularly religious extremism, order, Capitalism. Their motto is "the irresponsible newspaper". They are well-known for being the first to reprint the Muhammad cartoons in the French press.Prior to the terrorist attack on its staff in Jan. 2015, the newspaper had a small circulation of about 15.000 and was forced to appeal to the generosity of its buyers to live.One week after the attack, it had 100.000 new subscriptions and the weekly issue, the first after the attack, sold 5 million copies by the middle of the morning ; 2 more million copies had to be reprinted, outnumbering several times the record circulation ever for a French newspaper (the former record was 2.2 million copies).
Was the charlie hebdo attack social political or economic?
The attack on the weekly magasine Charlie Hebdo was carried out on the ground that it offended religion, namely Islam. Maybe as religion is linked to society, you could describe that attack as social. In any case it was not carried out for economical or political reasons. Several cartoonists, guests, members of staff were killed in the attack.Islam prohibits any depiction, statue, painting or drawing of its prophet - pbuh.
