Anjem Choudary, cable news' favorite radical Islamist booking, spared no time to use the deadly attack on the Charlie Hebdo offices in Paris, France, to push for more restrictions on freedom of expression in the United Kingdom. From Twitter:

If freedom of expression can be sacrificed for criminalising incitement & hatred, Why not for insulting the Prophet of Allah? #ParisShooting — Anjem Choudary (@anjemchoudary) January 7, 2015

That's probably the most succinct and solid argument I've seen in favor of America's First Amendment and against attempts to carve out "hate speech" exceptions to it.
