The cost of the politically correctness has exceeded the limit of what’s acceptable. Clearly, this posture doesn’t work and no longer is understandable.
Respect requires reciprocity. Tolerance demands correspondence. And dialogue should be reciprocated.
Yes, we defend human rights and we’re willing to accept those who seek a better life. But, we’re unwilling to forfeit our values and principles. The Separation between the State and the Church, the Rule of Law and the Separation of Powers are some of the axis upon which our society stands.
Those who are unable to respect a society that welcomes them, are free to return to their countries of origin.

Protesting does not mean insulting, looting, or stealing.
Protesting requires respect, education, and decency!

Today, more than ever, Voltaire’s words (Je désapprouve ce que vous dites, mais je me battrai jusqu’à la mort pour que vous ayez le droit de le dire) are an example of difference, clearly reflecting the distinction between civility and barbarity.
This type of extremists, or any other, is not interested in dialogue.
They do not appreciate democracy or have respect for freedom and only show contempt for other cultures, especially to those who welcomed them.
Obviously, not all muslims are extremists. But, if we remember Edmund Burke’s words, “the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing”, where are the voices of the good muslims?
However, actually, these are not enough. More is demanded.
We want Muslim communities also defend our freedom of expression.
We want reciprocity!
