摘要

In 1766, Jean-Francois Lefebvre became the last person in France to be executed for blasphemy; his list of crimes' included a refusal to remove his hat as a religious procession passed by. Eighteenth-century France was one of the first nations to push back against the tyranny of religious authority that stifled free thought across Europe at the time - and continues to do so in other places. That proud legacy - and the part that both science and satire played in promoting the contrasting values of the Enlightenment - is worth reflecting on as millions across the world struggle to make sense of the horrific events in Paris last week. The terrorists who murdered 17 people, including 8 staff members of the French weekly satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, falsely claimed to act in the name of Islam. On the contrary, the perpetrators represent a fanaticism that would stifle freedoms and science in the Arab and Islamic world, and beyond. The means used in the eighteenth century remain among the best options to combat this warped world view today. Free scientific thinking and satire - both religious and political - are crucial in challenging and undermining dogma and authoritarianism.
