The Charlie Hedbo shootings were less then a decade ago. The likely motive for that attack was the magazine's cartoons depicting and joking about Muhammad. Is that something that should never be allowed anymore in the West, or do freedom of speech allow it despite it being not just distasteful but potentially heretical to some adherents of Islam.
