French priest fined for anti-Muslim comments
2004-01-19
A French priest has been fined 800 euros ($990) for describing the Quran as a handbook for the devil. Philippe Sulmont, 82, was found guilty of "provoking discrimination, hatred or violence" for comments he made in a letter to his parishioners in the northern town of Domqueur at the end of 2002. "The Asiatics proliferate and invade our land, bringing with them an ideology that threatens the whole world," he wrote. "Indeed I would add there is no such thing as 'moderate' Islam. All the populations infected by the Muslim religion are indoctrinated by the Quran - a holy book which is the manual for the extension of the kingdom of the devil at the expense of the kingdom of Christ."
This is called an opinion. Used to be, people were allowed to have them...
Sulmont was also ordered to give a symbolic one euro in damages to the League of Human Rights, which brought the case, and to pay for the judgement to be published in two local newspapers.

#5  According to Muslims, both Christian and Jewish texts were distorted by "Shaytan" (Satan). In fact, Muslim claim that Shaytan once possessed Mohammed, and caused him to incorporate the infamous "Satanic Verse" into the Koran. Try to hand a copy of the Bible to a Muslim cleric. He will refuse, unless the feels that it advances Islam to keep same, prior to burning it. One Southern Baptist leader said that Mohammed was a "demon possessed pedophile." The self-proclaimed "prophet" did once marry a 6 year old girl. That French Catholic fine-payer had gone beyond opinion, and into the realm of fact.

#3  Does the diameter of a euro make it too large to pass through your bowels before paying up?

Treachery, hypocrisy, larceny.
