You miss this big point. France will have government either way. It is not a libertarian society. You either have slaughter and the government running around in ninja suites hunting the terrorists down or you have a country where an average Catholic can live free from insults AND terrorist attacks.

Problem is, you assume someone like you will determine what is offensive speech. Far more likely someone like Obama will determine what is offensive and use the power of the IRS to shut it down. Oh, wait. That’s already happened.
