Five years after Van Gogh’s murder by a Muslim, free speech is still under attack

The greatest threat to free speech does not come from homegrown jihadists who wish to make examples of rabble-rousing Westerners.

It arises from governments and related entities blinded by the fanciful notion that radicals will leave us alone if we only stop saying things that offend them (…)

Daniel Pipes referred to the van Gogh slaying as “education by murder,” part of the “slow and painful way people wake up to the problem of radical Islam.”

Unfortunately, for many of our drowsy leaders, the only lessons learned are the wrong ones.
