New French proposition of law wants to modify freedom of the press
And guess why? From Dhimmi Watch.
. . . [A] text recently submitted to the French National Assembly by a member of parliament . . . proposes an amendment to existing law, making it a crime to insult or defame a religion. It specifically mentions that no cartoons mocking religious beliefs will be tolerated. The author of the proposed law makes specific reference to the Danish cartoon controversy. . .
The Member of the parliament explains:
The recent controversy regarding the caricatures underlines the delicate problem of the freedom of speech and the freedom of the press in front of the freedom of religion and the freedom of opinion, that are also part of the democratic principles of our country.The freedom of expression could in no way give the right to ridicule, to misinform or to slander religious feelings of any community or any State. Hence, the French Republic must penalize, by a proposition of law, any speech, shout, threat, document, leaflet, drawing or poster voluntarily offending the foundations of religions.
Sic.

"They forgot nothing, they forgave nothing, they learned nothing."
