Yeah, as much as I hate Dieudonné, I have to admit his post is too nonsensical to qualify as an apology of terrorism. He'll probably be acquitted (if he's even indicted). Still, I'm glad he got locked up for a while, to teach him a little lesson.

And yeah, I support a zero-tolerance policy for those who outright express support for terrorism. It's time to fight back.

The last thing anyone should want after the Charlie Hebdo attacks is for violent force to be able to "teach a little lesson" when it comes to what is acceptable speech.

I have nothing against restrictions of freedom of speech when it goes against racism and bigotry. Neither does Charlie Hebdo. For the record, they even support banning the FN (which I don't).
So people don't have a right to express their opinion if others don't like it?

People have the right to express their opinions until they cross the line into advocating violence.

Not hard to understand.

Espousing racist or "bigoted" views =/= advocating violence.

He wasn't arrested simply for bigoted views. He was arrested for saying he sympathized with a guy who shot up a kosher supermarket.
