Checking the cable news last night, talking heads informed us that it’s an “extremely small minority” of muslims who go full-scale jihadi. And that Charlie Hebdo deserves blame. Because, one tell us, if it were any other minority group, we wouldn’t stand for it. Which is, of course, wrong. Hebdo regularly skewers not just Christians (who are now a minority in Europe), but also Jews, Mormons and we atheists. Are we to bow to radical Islam and hold our tongue, or are we to expect Muslim in western countries to hew to western values. So far, Macron is standing firm: it’s the latter. Never much liked the man, but he’s sound on this.
