#7  If I'm not mistaken they can sue in France because Fallaci's book was publish by the Paris editor Plon in French.

Yet the "inciting racial hatred" thing might backfire, if the defense starts quoting the Qoran, especially Muhammad's opinions about Jews.

#6  As the final statute of limitations has been exceded on Mohamed, those inclined to sue will have to stick with McDonalds and tobacco companies.

#5  "When a victim is clearly designated, the sons of Allah, why should I, a Muslim, not feel victimised?"

Isn't feeling victimized the sixth pillar of Islam?

I feel victimized by the Koran, ie. "'O believers do not take the Jews and Christians as friends or supporters ..." source Can I file a lawsuit in Paris too?

Secondly, French law has no bearing on people who aren't French. Maybe if it was a international law that was broken, but this is domestic nonsense.

Whine all you want, but when we mail you your brothers head, don't cry about 'murder'. Afterall, he has 72 virgins now.
