A blasphemy trial out of the 17th century
Thanks to The Pagan Prattle for passing this story along.
How to guarantee that your religion will be criticized, mocked and reviled 101.
Seems like the muslims weren’t quite satisfied with taking on Salman Rushdie now they want to try the French writer Michel Houellebecq on charges of inciting racial hatred because of comments made by one of his characters in his most recent novel Platform and comments he made in an interview about that book. It seems like radical muslims have a real problem with the concept of fiction and in doing so they certainly lend credence to Houellebecq’ interview comment about Islam when he calls it “the most stupid of all religions”. And here I thought the witch wars were over….17th Century here we come.
