  It was more than just a terrorist attack with 12 dead, it was an attack on free speech itself

    Yes it was.

    I thought Charlie Hebdo was disgusting for mocking all levels of decency, personal values, and faith or religious teachings.

    That being said, insulting values or religion is protected speech, as long as that protection goes both ways. I don’t see athiests or Satanists advocating for freedom of religion and the public teaching of God, so what athiests and satanists teach is not protected since they would never allow Judaism, Islam, Sikhism, etc.

      I’m not a fan of mocking religions but I think murdering people is extreme. To me it’s an easy target to attack religion. Yet rarely does it it provide any substance.

    It’s wasn’t just an act on free speech. It was an attack on culture and integration. Now I do not think you should try to antagonize others just for jollies but even the United States displays an imagine of mo.
