Using free speech as a cloak for anti-Muslim bigotry: Siddiqui
Many of the world leaders who took part in the march in Paris last week to support freedom of speech either muzzle free speech themselves or are close allies of regimes that jail and torture those whose words they don’t like, writes Haroon Siddiqui.
Free speech is not an unfettered right. It is circumscribed by laws of libel, hate and religious freedom as well as self-restraint and public pressure.
There can never be any justification for murdering provocateurs or innocents. Take down their killers, if we must. Or round up the accomplices and throw the book at them.
