    This is the person who believes in equality! Anything nasty any Muslim ever does anywhere is an excuse for the Goodwinian occupation of Palestine with its deliberate murder of some 2.000 children over the last ten years, and also for the USA oil-empire attacks on some four or five Muslim countries with the attendant slaughter. Excuse me while I puke!

    Never mind that al Qaeda (under the protection of the Taliban) was using Afghanistan as a headquarters and training grounds for terrorism, or that an American military presence there is helping to keep Pakistani nukes out of the hands of Islamic terrorists.

    Yeah, like OJLeb. Political Forum's living, breathing Islamist terrorist. We can only hope he'll reform when he grows up.

    You shouldn't have recruited and trained them to destroy the only civilized government Afghanistan ever had, should you? Stupidity marches on, killing everyone within sight.

    As it is to incite discrimination for other groups whether actual or fanciful:

    The hate speech laws in France are matters of both civil law and criminal law. Those laws protect individuals and groups from being defamed or insulted because they belong or do not belong, in fact or in fancy, to an ethnicity, a nation, a race, a religion, a sex, or a sexual orientation, or because they have a handicap. The laws forbid any communication which is intended to incite discrimination against, hatred of, or harm to, anyone because of his belonging or not belonging, in fact or in fancy, to an ethnicity, a nation, a race, a religion, a sex, or a sexual orientation, or because he has a handicap.

    So what's your point?

    The moment people are incited to kill each other that freedom is kinda dangerous.

    Mocking, annoying, insulting are all fine.

    Mocking, annoying or insulting could be viewed as inciting "discrimination" against the minority. Hell, my advocacy for marriage limited to heterosexual couples could be viewed as inciting discrimination.

    Those of the receiving end need to get some thicker skin, time to get out of that self proclaimed victimhood role they are so used to.

    Good question. Criticism of racism must be applied equally to be effective.

    Freedoms are always limited when they conflict with one another. Contemporary French society is one with a comparatively high threshold before speech incites to the curtailment of other basic freedoms.
