LIBBY EMMONS: We have learned nothing from the Charlie Hebdo massacre 10 years on

Islamist terror attacks continue, and many media outlets avoid publishing content that could offend, while criticism of Judeo-Christian traditions remains largely unchallenged.

The ongoing trend of self-censorship and appeasement raises questions about the commitment to free expression. Incidents of violence and intimidation against those who promote open debate about Islam highlight a troubling double standard in how religious sensitivities are handled in the West.
