I wonder if the managing editor of Frances Soir, Jacques Lefranc knew that the company he worked for was owned by an Egyptian shipping magnate? I guess not since he published the offending cartoons again. I wonder if this legal challenge will get any traction?
Mohammed Bechari, president of the National Federation of the Muslims of France, said his group would start legal proceedings against France Soir because of "these pictures that have disturbed us, and that are still hurting the feelings of 1.2 billion Muslims."
Is it slander against Mohammed or is it suing on behalf of the hurt feelings? If someone gives you the finger in France then are you allowed to sue the guy for hurting your feelings. Maybe it is somehow a hate crime.
