French authorities accused of double standards over hate speech crackdown — RT World News
:

“Racism, anti-Semitism, historical revisionism, and condoning terrorism are not opinions, they are crimes,” French Prime Minister Manuel Valls said, condemning Dieudonne’s remark and vowing a crackdown on “speech that kills.”

The crackdown has 54 people, four minors among them, convicted for hate speech and inciting terror under special measures for immediate sentencing, introduced in the wake of the Charlie Hebdo attacks.

How retarded has one to be to not recognize that insulting religious figures is same?
