Fighting Freedom With Freedom

What the world learnt from the Charlie Hebdo massacre wasn't pretty. How much is it too much when it comes to freedom of speech? Where does the point cross between freedom of speech and hate speech?

Everyone has a different line and tolerance when it comes to freedom, Islam prohibits any visual paintings of their prophet, and people has been killed due to this. The 2006 Danish Cartoon controversy heavily strained the relations between Denmark and Muslims nation, some nations even closing their embassy in Denmark and halting diplomatic relations.

Arab nations has been quite strict when it comes to their Prophet. It is unclear what the Charlie Hebdo attack would do in the long run. The United Kingdom is planning to "maybe" ban chatting programs such as "Snapchat" and "Whatsapp" for the safety of their people. But should it be like this? Fighting fire with fire, banning freedom to fight freedom.

In my eyes, it is very important for all parties to be able to respect each other and thus provoking nobody. Make no mistake, opinion is very important for a healthy society.

Freedom of speech has no clear limit to hate speech, we just have to define it ourself and respect other. We have to do to other what other wil do to us.

Imagine living in peace like that, where all humans are united as one.
