I have no idea why/how this will "teach" the terorists that they have achieved nothing and shouldn't bother trying again, as if this REALLY is some conspiracy to silence free speech, as if that is the core issue. If anything, the terrorists are trolling the satirists to publish more stuff like this so that they can show their power. Meanwhile, more showcases of terorist strength will lead to more racism, "us vs. them" and finger-pointing towards Islam which in turn will lead to more radicalized muslims capable of doing stuff like this.

Again, why *consciously* feed the cycle when you have the choice *and* power not to? I could care less about the free speech aspect and principles and rights... This is reality
