UK Prime Minster David Cameron doesn’t approve of the comment Pope Francis made following the Charlie Hebdo massacre. Read Pope’s comment here

But opposing what the Pope said, Cameron said freedom of speech is important in an open society;

‘I think in a free society, there is a right to cause offence about someone’s religion. I’m a Christian; if someone says something offensive about Jesus, I might find that offensive, but in a free society I don’t have a right to wreak vengeance on them. We have to accept that newspapers, magazines, can publish things that are offensive to some, as long as it’s within the law. That is what we should defend.’
