Charlie Hebdo victimizes free speech.

And the terrorists win.

Indeed they do, but one single magazine can't really make a huge difference, if the entire French media decided to show these cartoons it would have a great counter effect, but they didn't - Few media outlets in the world showed the cartoon. I prefer to preserve my life than to die fighting for a great cause, even if it's really a brilliant outstanding one.

If they had stuck to their guns, they could've inspired countless others (like myself) to stand up and join the mockery. I still openly mock moho regardless, but they could've inspired enough people to stand up that way the terrorists would have to back down for a change. You are right. One single magazine can't do that. But but if they had not censored themselves, who knows how many would be willing to stand up and say "I will not surrender to terrorists!" You have to understand, the only reason that that religion, no, cult, even got to where it is in the first place, is because of the fact that it was spread by the sword from the beginning, and, in the same way Christianity was, and thanks to Al Qaeda and ISIS, it's still happening that way.
