Introduction
Voltaire and Freedom of Speech
Freedom of speech is a basic human right
Modern/western standards on freedom of speech
Hypocrisy in Europe when it comes to antisemitism
Charlie Hebdo incident in Paris
Stance of Pope Francis
Islam and freedom of speech
Incidents with Prophets and their responses
Are there ethical limitations?
Pakistan and freedom of speech
Attack on journalists in Pakistan (examples of hamid mir and raza rumi)
Views of Naom Chomsky on freedom of speech
(Support for freedom of speech)
What to do in certain situations?
Concluding remarks

Now i dont know if the examiner will like it or not but i supported freedom of speech through all means. Including Islam and response of Prophets.
I also supported it through charlie hebdo incident on how an almost bankrupt magazine which was working on debts became an instant hit and sold millions of copies in January 2015.
"Ignore" was my conclusion without getting violent as freedom of speech is a basic human right.
Well thought out outline.

I would say we can't ignore injustice.
