“In a democratic and secular country like France, we should, however, respect religions but free speech is a sacred right on the condition that it neither violates privacies nor incites hatred,” she added.

The Euros have themselves in an impossible spot. They sold out free speech for political correctness long ago. Now, how can they deny that this is what they have been calling "hate speech."

An interesting contrast is the case of Bridget Bardot:

Prominent animal rights activist Brigitte Bardot was recently fined 30,000 francs by a French court for comments she made in a recent book, "Pluto's Square." In the book, Bardot complains about the large number of Muslim immigrants in France and especially the ritual slaughter of sheep during a Muslim religious festival.

In the book, Bardot complains that "...my country, France, my homeland, my land is again invaded by an overpopulation of foreigners, especially Muslims."

France, like many European countries, has laws against inciting racial hatred, and this is the third time that Bardot has been convicted of such an offense.
