520    This collection centers around two trends that currently 
       influence freedom of expression. The first trend confirms 
       the fact that many Western countries have become, over a 
       long period of time, less strict about sacrilegious 
       expression. In the process, many repealed their blasphemy 
       laws or became less harsh in their punishment of blasphemy,
       hence "the fall of blasphemy law." The second trend 
       manifests an opposite movement, hence "the rise of 
       blasphemy law". Over the last decades, namely, Western 
       societies have witnessed multiple attempts to suppress 
       speech that defames religion. To be sure, one particularly
       vicious way of re-energizing these interdicts against 
       blasphemy has come from radical believers intent upon 
       removing blasphemy from the public domain by violent 
       means. With contributions by scholars from a wide range of
       disciplines, this volume seeks to offer an examination of 
       topical issues relating to freedom of expression, 
       censorship, and blasphemy in contemporary multicultural 
       democracies.
