Charlie Hebdo attack initially unified free speech defense that soon faded

Evidence

In retaliation against Charlie Hebdo for insulting the Prophet Muhammad, two militants sponsored by al Qaeda (Schoichet & Levs, 2015) stormed the journal’s offices and shot Charbonnier and most of the staff, shouting, “God is great!” during the attack (Bilefsky & de la Baume, 2015b). The killings aroused worldwide condemnation and massive public support in defense of free speech; many protesters carried signs saying, “I am Charlie.” The massacre roused worldwide condemnation and massive public support in defense of free speech. However, the fervent defense of free speech did not last long. — Albert Bandura, Moral Disengagement, 2185
