Que o terrorismo é algo bárbaro, insano e que foge ao entendimento consciente da maioria dos seres humanos é fato incontroverso. Nada justifica atos terroristas como forma de protesto e de vingança, seja la qual for a sua motivaço. Por outro lado, tambem os meios de comunicaço ocidentais no devem (ou ao menos no deveriam), de maneira indiscriminada, ofender culturas, povos e religies, pois ultrapassam a barreira da etica, da moral e do bom senso. Uma vez que na mesma prateleira que encontramos o direito a liberdade de expresso e a liberdade de imprensa encontramos ao lado destes o chamado direito a liberdade religiosa. Temos que os dois direitos so garantias individuais dos direitos humanos, inseridas nos principais tratados internacionais mundo afora. Contudo qual seria o mais importante? Teriam o mesmo peso nas tomadas de decises das pessoas? No! O direito individual a liberdade de expresso, a informaço, liberdade de imprensa, de pensamento, de uma pessoa ou de um grupo, e o direito a livre pratica de uma religio esto em confronto ativo e tem se demonstrado dificil as pessoas exercerem o seu direito sem ofender e ate mesmo desmoralizar o outro.Trazemos a tona o caso concreto que abalou o mundo em 2015 com o ataque terrorista como forma de retaliaço a sede do Jornal frances "Charlie Hebdo" o qual escancarou o conflito que o choque de entendimentos causa a sociedade.
