Should freedom of speech not be absolute in a liberal democracy? Should disagreement not come to the surface and be discussed openly? If not, who is to say what is right and wrong? In my opinion we have to stand up for the freedom of speech in order to save our liberal democracy. Charlie Hebdo said, "it's better to die standing up, than living on your knees." I totally agree, and I repeat what Malala has said "The pen is mightier than the sword" or as Charlie Hebdo said, "Parce que le crayon sera tojours au dessus de la barbarie." People killing in the name of God are neither Christians nor Muslims, they are barbarians. Listen to this debate.
