To have a democratic society freedom of speech IS needed. Not to have it would mean a society where people can not protest or write/say anything bad concerning the government.

Freedom of speech is extremely good in a democratic society. If people are going to be able to participate in the process of government, they need to be able to share their thoughts on political subjects. Dictatorships, in comparison, always try to restrict speech, so that no opposition to their rule can even be expressed.

Are there vulnerabilities in a democratic society that expose it to terrorism?

That's a good question. It suggests that a totalitarian society might be less exposed to terrorism. But first, your answer; yes a democratic society has vulnerabilities that expose it to terrorism. A more open society provides for freedom of movement, freedom of association, freedom of expression and other freedoms that persons seeking to do evil can exploit. While there are measures that any society can take to reduce the abilities of terrorists democratic societies must take into account their own responsibilities to their fellow citizens in protecting their freedoms. Further, the terrorist is attracted to attack free societies because his true nature isn't establishing his personal moral and philosphical being but the urge to destroy others due to his own personal short-comings.

What are limits of freedom?

Limits of freedom refer to the boundaries that restrict individual liberties to ensure the rights and safety of others and the collective good.
