Neoconservative Douglas Murray: #CharlieHebdo Attack is a Threat to Each and Every One of Us

At Londons' Daily Mail, "A threat to every single one of us: The cold-blooded outrage in Paris is about our right to be free to express ourselves":
The cold-blooded outrage in Paris is not a story about one magazine or one country – and it is not just about freedom of the Press.

It is about the right of every single one of us to be free to express ourselves. And it is high time the nations of Europe woke up to how gravely that right is under threat.

Because what happened yesterday – though the most appalling incident of its kind yet – is in many ways far from unprecedented. It is just the latest chapter in a long, concerted campaign to shut down criticism and discussion of one religion, its founder and its teachings...
Hmm... "Shut down criticism"? That sounds familiar (see here and here).

But continue reading the great Douglas Murray.
