[quote=Anonymous]" That perception is only reinforced by the arrest of Dieudonne."

I don't follow why, after a major terrorist attack, bringing someone to custody for a few hours, as permitted by law, after he says he identifies with the perpetrator of the recent massacre of four Jews, in clear violation of French laws regarding terrorism apology, reinforces a perception of hostility against Muslims.  To be clear, I dont necessarily agree with such a temporary detention, even if it's within the current law.  The point is that I don't see why that reinforces what you mentioned.  He is NOT considered a "Muslim comedian."

FYI, Dieudonne has authorization to perform in Metz today and in Strasbourg tomorrow -- the government didn't ban those performances -- and as far as I know he did perform tonight and will be performing tomorrow.  He will be free the spew his anti-Semitic vitriol unhindered.  Those kids will be doing his inverted Nazi salute along with him.

That said, given that we are talking about someone who...

- suggested that a Jewish French journalist should be sent to the gas chambers.
- said that he is neutral regarding the "conflict" between Jews and Nazis, and he is unsure who provoked whom.
- said that Holocaust commemorations are "memorial pornography."
- said the Iranian revolution is an example for humanity, since freedom and thinking have been curtailed in the West by the Zionists.
- Did Nazi salutes, yelling,  "Isra-Heil !"
- Suggested that the massacre of 77 kids in Norway was a "Jewish - Masonic" act
- Mocks the Holocaust having an assistant dance with a yellow Star of David on stage.
- Complains why the deaths of Gaddafi and Saddam are acceptable, but the decapitation of James Foley by ISIS is not, and blames the "double standard" on "the Rotchschild mafia".  (Rotchschild is a well know family of Jewish bankers).
- Mocks the decapitation of Foley (calling him Feu Foley), calling his decapitation by ISIS "progress", and making fun of Foley's parents telling them to "relax!"
- And has recently aligned himself with right wing extremists, who are both ati-Semites *and* Islamophobes.

... I don't think most decent  Muslims will identify with that speech, and thus I question why his temporary detention will reinforce a perception of hostility against Muslims.
