In any civil court that has jurisdiction. The reason torts like this cannot be brought today is that the liberal interpretation of the US constitution prevents them. Well, libel cases and other cases related to speech are possible but cases against pornography, foul language and blasphemy cannot be brought. Once the supreme court clearly indicates that trash speech is not protected, that will change.

In France, I assume, something similar is going on, and a similar change is needed.

Well if this sort of case—currently just a fantasy—were ever to become a real court case, it would lose against the classic slippery slope argument.

Because any blasphemy can be shown to be either unreasonable or motivated by the desire to offend. As I’ve already pointed out.

And by the way it’s not a liberal interpretation if it conserves tradition. Get it?
