Redeker threatener arrested
A man has been arrested in Morocco in connection with threats made to the French philosophy teacher and columnist last year. The suspect is 20 years old.
On Sept 19, 2006 Redeker published an article in Le Figaro in which he attacked Islam and its inventor Muhammed. Some Muslims were so offended by the accusation that Islam was a violent religion that they sent death threats to the writer.
This is the second man to be arrested in connection with this affair. The first was a 25-year-old call centre worker in Orleans
“Some Muslims were so offended by the accusation that Islam was a violent religion that they sent death threats to the writer”.
All our problems may be over if we could introduce them to the concept of irony.
