Judy Dempsey, writing for Carnegie Europe, argues that, in the wake of a dozen people being killed at French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, European governments should be encouraged "to protect press freedom and other civil liberties, not restrict them.": "Freedom of the press is inextricably tied to universal values and is not an exclusively Western liberty. To curb that freedom now, and for anti-Islam movements at the same time to use the attacks on Charlie Hebdo to incite hatred against Muslims, would undermine the civil liberties and tolerance espoused by the West."
