I am deeply troubled and saddened by the events in Paris at the offices of Charlie Hebdo.
Not only is this an act of censorship at its most extreme; but it is an act of cowardice and soullessness.
I, as I am sure all followers of Banned Books Awareness and Reading for Knowledge, stand with the people of France and their supporters around the world so that the freedom of thought, and the expression thereof, shall never be dimmed by the darkness of ignorance.
