Those Muslims are just a paragon of respect for other folk's beliefs...like the belief in a freedom of speech. But they have learned well that the mere threat of violence can force their new subserviants in Europe to quake in fear and and toss aside what they claim to value most...
Fausta reported Friday on "The article that may cost a man his life, and that of his family ":
Robert Redeker, a French 52-yr old philosophy professor, wrote an op-ed article in Le Figaro stating that Islam is violent, and denounced the violence in the Koran. After receiving several death threats in the mail, Prof. Redeker and his family have had to go into hiding. The police are taking the threats very seriously and are keeping watch of his now vacant home.
Fausta links to Judeoscope with the orignal article; but provides the translation herself...
But the funny part is the French response; and as usual they show not an inkling of what a "moral value" might be - via No Parasan!:
There have been death threats against a courageous philosophy professor, Robert Redeker, and his family. It is serious enough that a Special Services branch of the Anti-terror Police instructed him to not sleep in the same place twice...
Robert Redeker has just announced that none of the teachers labor union will be supporting him in any way, and nor would the Ministry of Education.
The anti-this, anti-that crowd is caving-in to the notion that free speech is not worth defending if you think you can buy yourself another day here or there. The first of those idiots who claims to care about human rights should have to think about what they’re doing when they won’t come to the aid of a confrere savant who’s life is being threatened.
Perhaps this is why it is so difficult to maintain a strong alliance with France. They simply cannot imagine suffering the slightest personal inconvience for anything as obscure as a "belief", or a "value". Americans fight and die for what we believe is "right"; France will abandon even their most basic cherished freedoms (or closest allies) if only to placate their enemies for a few hours longer. France's blitzkrieg-like surrender to the Nazis in WWII stands as a metaphor for their collective soul - take our liberty, kill our Jews, just as long as we can continue to pontificate meaninglessly over an afternoon glass of wine in a sidewalk cafe....
The Brussels Journal has more from Robert Redeker - in a letter he has written from hiding to the philosopher André Glucksmann:
There is no safe place for me, I have to beg, two evenings here, two evenings there. [...] I am under the constant protection of the police. I must cancel all scheduled conferences. And the authorities urge me to keep moving. [...] All costs are at my own expense, including those of rents a month or two ahead, the costs of moving twice, legal expenses, etc.
It's quite sad. I exercised my constitutional rights, and I am punished for it, even in the territory of the Republic. This affair is also an attack against national sovereignty – foreign rules, decided by criminally minded fanatics, punish me for having exercised a constitutional right, and I am subjected, even in France, to great injury.”
And the French continue to pay for their dhimmitude...
