The world is at the table of ideas like it never has been before. That's the good thing. The bad thing is that violent incidents like this week's riots and terrorist attacks will continue until the world is free from those who leverage religious belief for their political gain. That will only come with more free speech, not less. In the meantime, we shouldn't hate Islam, Muslims, Jews, bad movies, peaceful purveyors of bad ideas, or free speech. Save that for those who use violence to respond to ideas they dislike.
