Goodbye free speech:
Prize-winning French novelist Michel Houellebecq is being sued by four Islamic organisations in Paris after making “insulting” remarks about the religion in an interview about his latest book…Dalil Boubakeur, rector of the Paris mosque, said Muslims felt insulted by comments in the novel Plateforme, in which a character admits to a “quiver of glee” every time a “Palestinian terrorist” is killed…Mr Houellebecq reportedly said in Lire that reading the Koran is “so depressing” and that Islam is “the stupidest religion”.
I feel more than a quiver of glee when any terrorist is killed, I feel a shudder of joy (that includes Palestinian terrorists).
Thank to Kharin for the heads up.
