There seems to be a common misperception that the assault in Paris that resulted in 12 deaths was an attack on free speech. When, actually, it was the attackers’ response to having their culture insulted. Insults do not justify killing, but disagreeing with another culture is one thing, insulting their beliefs quite another.
People in Islamic countries are born, raised, socialized and are products of their culture, as we are of ours. In our society freedom of speech is a right, inherent and legislated, but with every right comes responsibility.
