1. Muslims sue satirical paper for blasphemy, MP for hate speech
French Muslims are taking satirical paper Charlie Hebdo to court for blasphemy over a front page insulting the Koran. In a separate case, a right-wing MP is being sued for accusing young Muslims of anti-Semitism.

Thank you Lina N, EDL Buck, DH, M and more
If Charlie Hebdo continues like that, I will start to buy it.
We are going to see just how committed to free speech and freedom the French really are.
Re Dr Bostom’s rememberance of Bulgaria’s Islamic past, from which I quote:
This may be a contemporary rendition found on youtube:

@ Richard: From what I am seeing here, the present government, their accomplices and most of the Media are rather committed to pack-raping “free speech” 🙁
Charlie Hebdo, which I always saw as a rabid leftist satirical paper has attacked many many Western/Christian/Conservative icons – but recently they started to show courage and attack the greatest global cancer of the moment. The ratio of their sending up islam to sending up other holy cows is still – at guess – 1 to 20, but it’s there – and I have quietly started to admire them for it. For the moment they are still “fashionable” enough for the brainless Leftists, but I wonder how long it will be before they become “villains” for the “herd”.
@whuptue. Mesmerising and quite beautiful.
That us why I said we would see how committed the French are, the French include the citizens not just the self anointed elite.
Whup-
Thanks, good clip. Says a lot without words. A culture identifies its women with the land, an intimate beauty to protect and defend.
