There
is one obvious answer to terrorism in support of censorship. We have to deny the
terrorists what they want. The terrorists wanted to limit the distribution of
cartoons that make fun of Jihadists. We can deny the terrorists their goal by
distributing the cartoons to as wide an audience as possible. I think Charlie
Hebdo should put out a collection of translated anti Jihad cartoons in electronic
editions in various languages and sell them on a web site. I would buy one in
English. I am sure many other customers would buy them in their languages as
well. I apologize that my French is too rusty to be useful anymore. Charlie
Hebdo can raise funds to help the families of the victims and make a statement
about freedom of the press at the same time. If every time terrorists attack to limit cartoon distribution, the cartoons just go viral on the web, it will tend to discourage them.
The only real solution to Jihadist terrorism is to kill the Jihadists wherever they are until there are none. Jihadists are rabid dogs and there is no other solution. They have declared total war on everybody who does not worship exactly the way they do, including Muslims who are not sufficiently strict in their observances. Jihadists have claimed a divine license to kill every man, woman and child who does not meet their requirements. Jihadists have repeatedly engaged in mass slaughter, demonstrating that they really mean exactly what they say about killing anyone who doesn't measure up. Hash tags and "Je suis Charlie" signs are not going to stop these killers. Only rigor mortis is an effective cure for what's wrong with Jihadists. That's the hard truth.
