After an extended break, Youssef and Ahmed sit down again, this time for a discussion about free speech motivated by the recent events in France, which produced global uproar from the Muslim community. They recount the details of Samuel Paty's beheading as an entry-point from-which to proceed to discuss the value of free speech and what it means for a civilization to foster a censorious culture. The discussion delves into questions, such as when censorship is appropriate, whether the right to free speech encapsulates a right to offend, and how to guard against the dogma of the majority,  an idea first articulated by John Stuart Mill.
