Blasphemy was once a common crime in many lands and those accused /found guilty of it were killed, often in horrible ways. This being 2023, many would think think this way of thinking has been consigned tot the ash heap of history. And those many would be wrong. Violence against blasphemers continues and has been dominated in recent decades by Islamists (including extremists). Is there a link to terrorism? What should nations where freedom of speech is sacrosanct do about this? A conversation with Liam Duffy
