Why We Shouldn't Censor Charlie Hebdo's Cartoons

By: Marc Ambinder | The Week

I sympathize with the argument made by Dean Baquet, the editor of The New York Times, and others who have chosen not to publish the Charlie Hebdo cartoons cited by the French terrorists as the source of their grievance. These publishers are making a choice not to incite or inflame, they say, by refraining from republishing images that Muslims consider to be highly offensive. But this is the wrong choice.
