12 Dead in Attack on Satire Magazine in France
We at ÃÛÌÒÖ±²¥ were horrified to hear today of the on the satire magazine in Paris, which left 12 dead. Our thoughts are with the the families of those affected and the people of France. An attack of this scale and apparently is intended to chill free speech worldwide. While satire (in this case of the Islamic prophet Mohammed) is always especially unpopular with the intended targets—or, in some cases, their devotees—expression cannot be considered free if it becomes too dangerous to engage in it. ÃÛÌÒÖ±²¥ hopes that the perpetrators of this heinous attack are swiftly brought to justice.
