If you don't support freedom of speech for people with whom you disagree profoundly, you don't support freedom of speech. Whether you like what they had to say or not, institutions like Charlie Hebdo are the reason freedom of expression is so important. I can't quite say "I am Charlie Hebdo." But god dammit they had every right to say what they had to say without threat of violence and murder.
