I was proud to have the opportunity to show my support for free expression over barbarism. Journalists in Iran who did the same were punished. “A media court in Tehran ordered the reformist daily Mardom-e-Emrooz, which was in its first month of publication, to be closed down at the weekend because it had shown solidarity with … Charlie Hebdo,” reported The Guardian’s Saeed Kamali Dehghan Monday. “Iran’s press watchdog, which operates under the country’s culture ministry and Islamic guidance, also suspended the newspaper’s license.” So, when the pope first condemned the Paris attacks and then essentially blamed the victims, I took it personally. “Pope Francis said Thursday there are limits to freedom of speech, especially when it insults or ridicules someone’s faith,” reported Nicole Winfield of The Associated Press. “By way of example, he referred to Alberto Gasbarri, who organizes papal trips. ... ‘If my good friend Dr. Gasbarri says a curse word against my mother, he can expect a punch,’ Francis said half-jokingly, throwing a mock punch his way. ‘It’s normal. You cannot provoke. You cannot insult the faith of others. You cannot make fun of the faith of others.’”
