There are limits to satire and mockery, limits to freedom of expression, but Western civilization provides legal frameworks in which to weigh and enforce those limits. Islamic extremism allows for no such humor, no such mockery, no such tolerance. It is Europe’s free press, its freedom of expression, its very civilization, then, that was attacked in Paris on Wednesday, that the Islamists seek to destroy. The stakes could not be higher. - David Horovitz, Times of Israel
