In a January 2015 essay, Baraka described the Republican march in Paris in reaction to the "Charlie Hebdo" shooting as a "white power march," and the Je suis Charlie movement in general as an "arrogant rallying cry for white supremacy". Baraka condemned what he perceived as the disproportionate interest in the "Charlie Hebdo" attacks, and the relative lack of interest in the Baga massacre in Nigeria by Boko Haram, which took place days before the "Charlie Hebdo" shooting and resulted in many more deaths. Baraka also criticized the "degrading ritual" of assimilation that Arabs and Muslims undergo in France, the "arrogant lack of respect for the ideas and culture of non-European peoples" that led to the French ban on face covering in public spaces, and the "racist" and "Islamophobic" character of "Charlie Hebdo"s recent publications. Baraka's "Je suis Charlie" article was republished in January 2016 in an anthology about the November 2015 Paris attacks, titled "ANOTHER French False Flag? Bloody Tracks from Paris to San Bernardino". This was controversial because the editor, Kevin Barrett, is widely considered a denier of the Holocaust and the 9/11 attacks, although Baraka said he was unaware of this and disassociated himself from Barrett's views.
