I would suggest an intelligent person be careful in their use of satire. I dont see any US comedians poking fun at muslims. Why was charlie doing it? free speech? he only learned there really is a price & its not free at all. unless your rich & can afford the security, if you insult people & do it well & often & consistent, there will be blowback, & in rare cases, catastrophe. I believe i am being realistic. Its a law of human behavior & it should be respected.

just because you are free to insult, does that mean that you should? & if you do, should you consider your target & whether they may respond? is it wrong to say dont provoke nutters, or else?
I know what you are trying to say but Charlie Hebdo didn't insult Islam or moderate Muslims.

How far do you retreat to accommodate a few people who, as you rightly pointed out, would have taken their anger out on society one way or another.
