Peddler of hatred

Prime Minister Manuel Valls had branded Dieudonne as a "peddler of hatred" even before his recent video about James Foy the hostage being killed " like a dog" as he put it, about the beheading. The video clip practically sounds as distressing as the first must have been and although offensive to all right  minded people, imagine the distress of families involved.
A judicial source said the Paris prosecutor's office had opened an investigation on Wednesday into Dieudonne for condoning terrorism.
The government has expressed concern over increasing anti-Semitism and attacks on Jews in recent years and had said it will not allows tensions linked to Middle East to spill over to its territory. France is home to western Europe's largest Muslim and Jewish populations.
Val says I do not know if I should comment as  by some it will be termed a " political rant" but actually on these issues I do feel strongly.  We need to combat the rising anti -semitism  and racist attitudes abounding here in France.  I hope all my TAG readers agree with me on this fundamental human right - we are all equal, we are all people with feelings, whatever our colour, race  or religion.
