A French high school philosophy teacher and author who carried out a scathing attack against the Prophet Muhammad and Islam in a newspaper commentary says he has gone into hiding under police protection after receiving a series of death threats, including one disseminated on an online radical Islamist forum.
The teacher, Robert Redeker, 52, wrote in the center-right daily Le Figaro 10 days ago that Muhammad was “a merciless warlord, a looter, a mass-murderer of Jews and a polygamist,” and called the Koran “a book of incredible violence.”
The Redeker case is the latest manifestation in Europe of a mounting ideological battle that pits those who believe Islam and the Prophet Muhammad can be criticized in the name of free speech against those in the Muslim community who believe no criticism can be tolerated...
... “I can’t work, I can’t come and go and am obliged to hide,” Mr. Redeker told Europe 1 radio in a telephone interview from an undisclosed location on Friday. “So in some way, the Islamists have succeeded in punishing me on the territory of the republic as if I were guilty of a crime of opinion.”
Mr. Redeker, who has kept in contact with news agencies by cellphone and e-mail, said that his wife and their children had also been threatened with death. He told Europe 1 that his wife was in hiding with him, but he was less clear about his three children, saying that one of them had been forced to move and that another was in a boarding school.
Asked to describe the sort of threats he had received, Mr. Redeker replied, “You will never feel secure on this earth. One billion, three hundred thousand Muslims are ready to kill you.”

Ya, death threats over this man's opinion of islam... that the mentality of these savages. It's a whole honor/shame mentality... "you shame me and I have the right to take your blood".

Rhuan:
It is good that some people understand the truth. The fact he has had to go into hiding does of course only prove that he is correct.

France, in my humble opinion, gets a bad rap in terms of their politics, etc... .

I admire much of French life and culture.

It is difficult for us here in the U.S. to conceive of how the entire world would appear to us were we to be sandwiched between Germany, Spain & England, and if we had fought numerous major wars, not the least of which WWI & WWII on our very own soil.

Many people claim that France has "always been Anti-Semitic", but I don't consider them any different than Britain, or the U.S. in this respect.
