The Muslims have to win the lawsuit before we can bag French free speech.
I think Monsieur Houellebecq was rather mild on Islam. Given that it encourages honour killings, female genital mutilation and Sharia law a better word to descibe Islam would be "barbaric". |

Can we sue certain Islamic groups that call America the Great Satan and demand for the death, dismemberment and enslavement of all non-Muslim people?
