The Paris Attacks: A Moderate Liberal-Atheist Perspective
The Paris Attacks: A Moderate Liberal-Atheist Perspective
Massimo Pigliucci, K.D.
ABSTRACT
Much has been written about the terrorist attack on the satirical paper Charlie Hebdo, which took place on 7 January 2015. Some of the commentary has been insightful, some full of pious platitudes about defense of free speech by sources with not exactly a stellar record in that department, and some of it has ranged from the woefully uninformed to the downright awful. It is, therefore, with some recalcitrance that I write these lines, particularly because I’m coming to the issue from what I feel is an increasingly rare point of view: that of a moderate liberal atheist.
