SAINT-ORENS-DE-GAMEVILLE, France, Sept 28, 2006 (AFP) A French philosophy teacher was under police protection Thursday after receiving death threats over an article he wrote in a national newspaper that accused Islam of "exalting violence", school and police officials said.
Robert Redeker has not attended classes at his secondary school near Toulouse in southern France since September 19, when his opinion column appeared in the right-wing daily Le Figaro.
"He received written death threats in the form of emails. On the face of it they were pretty serious," said the lycée's headmaster Pierre Donnadieu.
Police confirmed the threat but refused to comment on the protection Redeker is receiving.
Under the heading "In the face of Islamist intimidation, what must the free world do?", Redeker described the Koran as a "book of extraordinary violence" and Islam as "a religion which ... exalts violence and hate".
Likening Islam to Communism, he said that "violence and intimidation are the methods used by an expansionist ideology ... to impose its leaden cloak on the world".
"We are not violent, and we'll kill you to prove it."
...When he ought to be getting applause.

At least muzzies are consistent.
What should the free world do in the face of Islamist intimidation?
The French are witty?
I bet the pope is smiling....
la none,la zippo,la zilch.....if we say we protect him ,who will protect us?
Doogle
/h - but it's the first thing that came into my head. :o)
Pretty soon our club -- of those who have dared to speak the Truth about Islam -- will be pretty big. Maybe we can all move into the Vatican.
they need to start teaching that old "sticks and stones" saying in madrassas...:|
ping
You accuse my religion of exalting violence? I'll KILL YOU!
I think I hear throngs of progressive Frenchmen rushing to the streets to defend this teacher's right to free speech (crickets chirping).
Now he's done it. Tomorrow will be more outrage in the arab street!
Proving his point, the muzzies then threaten to kill him!
Unless all of Europe starts standing up to this thuggery, they may as well submit to dhimmitude right now and save themselves the bloodshed. Me, I'd be making plans to get out to the USA or Australia....
Well, either that or start packing - don't want to wind up like Theo Van Gogh. But I doubt a CCW Permit is easy to come by in France....
Damn Muslims is stupid.
