Let's try and start with this ;
Article 4 in the the French "Declaration of the rights of man and the citizen" - August 26th 1789
"La liberté des uns s'arrête où commence celle des autres." (The rights of the one individual ends where the rights of another begins) like others posters said it's the rule of law if radicals don't like these laws tough.

You forgot that article 4 ends with
"These limits can only be determined by law". even with France's strict anti-racist laws the court of appeal confirmed the cartoons targeted only terrorists or fundamentalists??not the whole Muslim community
Also please explain how Charlie Hebdo impeded the rights of Muslims or any other religious group?

The truth of the matter is that it does NOT.
The magazine Charlie Hebdo is within its rights to express any point of view they wish. On the condition that any repercussions are purely and solely incumbent upon them.
When innocent lives that had NOTHING to do with those opinions expressed are killed because of opinions expressed by someone else their "Right To Life, Liberty and Security of Person" has been taken away... Taken away by those that express their opinion without regard to the safety of others.

Lifes were lost because some dumbfuck losers who couldn't make anything of themselves wanted to be part of something and found a cause.
