It was wrenching to see, in a photo from right after the stabbing, that one of the men kneeling over Rushdie wore a double-strap mask. The ironies, in light of why Rushdie was attacked, are too bitter.

Give me liberty or give me death.
I wish Mr. Rushdie a speedy recovery

No one has been able to define "free speech" and its ambit. Note that expression is native only the Judeo-Christian countries.
