Charlie Hedbo é “um pasquim nojento”, diz D. Duarte: “Nesse aspecto estou inteiramente de acordo com o Papa Francisco I”, esclareceu, acrescentando que no seu entender “não é admissível insultar a crença, a fé e a religião dos outros”.
D. Duarte acrescentou, porém, que é preciso “defender a vida de pessoas que têm actividades que consideramos desprezíveis”, referindo-se aos jornalistas franceses assassinados em Paris.
On free speech, Pope Francis is beginning to reveal the limits to his liberalism: the Pope said: “It’s normal. You cannot provoke. You cannot insult the faith of others. You cannot make fun of the faith of others.” And then, he repeated the gesture.

David Cameron discorda do papa Francisco sobre direito de ironizar com religião: uma sociedade livre tem o direito de ironizar com a religião, discordando da opinião do papa Francisco, que considerou existirem limites para a liberdade de expressão.

Why political solidarity at the Paris Hebdo rally has become the most dangerous threat ever to privacy: Heads of state rarely converge in the cause of basic liberties (E a CNN? "34-Year Veteran Jim Clancy Leaves CNN After Controversial Charlie Hebdo Tweets")
Laughing in the face of danger: the state of satire in the Muslim world: Cartoons depicting Muhammad are unthinkable in Muslim countries. But there are plenty of homegrown satirists poking fun at reactionaries, autocrats and jihadis.
Ridiculing of leaders through satire has a long history: "I see nothing heroic about a bunch of elite white writers and artists picking on the identities and beliefs of minorities," Beirut-based culture writer Yazan Al-Saadi wrote in OpenDemocracy. "Satire is supposed to be an act that punches up to power, and not down to the weak."
Charlie Hebdo and the Other Within: A few days after the horror, brutalism and destruction there is a slowly growing some space for some degree of rationalization of what happened last week. I have two main observations to make here: first and inevitably, freedom of speech needs to be discussed and contextualized, second coinciding processes of globalization and glocalization are occurring.
