French banks release Iran’s frozen assets
Tehran, March 12, IRNA — Presidential Advisor for legal and parliamentary affairs Majid Jafarzadeh said on Tuesday that the assets of Central Bank of Iran (CBI), which were seized by French banks, have been released.
Speaking to IRNA, he said that the move followed continued efforts by Presidential department for legal and parliamentary affairs on Monday.
CBI assets had been frozen by French Banque Populaire.
“In the past, the US and the Zionist regime had enacted illegal laws which ran counter to international law to encourage their nationals to lodge unfounded and baseless financial charges against our country’s officials, and had issued judgment by default to seize Iranian assets at foreign banks, but due to hard efforts of the Iranian judiciary officials, their plots failed and resulted in the issuance of a verdict on January 24, 2008 that nullified all these baseless accusations and unfounded charges.”
The case is regarded as a significant achievements for Iran, Jafarzadeh said.
France also likes dealing with ‘new friends’ from the Arab world like this one…

But when it comes to cartoons, France makes sure they “do not breach the limits of freedom of expression”
Hebdo Muhammad cries over the stupidity of Muslims
French court backs magazine over Prophet cartoons (for now)
PARIS (Reuters) – A French court on Wednesday upheld a ruling in favor of a magazine that published cartoons of the Prophet Mohammad, rejecting an appeal by a Muslim group which said they incited hatred of Islam.
The cartoons, published in the satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo in February 2006, originally appeared in a Danish newspaper five months earlier.
They provoked violent protests in Asia, Africa and the Middle East in which 50 people were killed. Several European publications reprinted them as an affirmation of free speech.
“These caricatures, which clearly target a fraction and not the whole of the Muslim community, do not constitute an insult or direct personal attack against a group of people because of their religion and do not breach the limits of freedom of expression,” the court in Paris ruled.
The decision was the culmination of a long legal battle over the cartoons.
A lower court ruled last year that the cartoons fell into the category of freedom of speech and did not constitute an attack on Islam in general.

The Psychology of the Musulman
Islamic ‘Peace’
* Best, most damning, breakdown I’ve read on Islam’s version of peace.
By Bassam Tibi, Muslim scholar of jihad:
‘At its core, Islam is a religious mission to all humanity. Muslims are religiously obliged to disseminate the Islamic faith throughout the world. “We have sent you forth to all mankind” (Q. 34:28).
If non-Muslims submit to conversion or subjugation, this call (da’wa) can be pursued peacefully. If they do not, Muslims are obliged to wage war against them. In Islam, peace requires that non-Muslims submit to the call of Islam, either by converting or by accepting the status of a religious minority (dhimmi) and paying the imposed poll tax, jizya.
World peace, the final stage of the da’wa, is reached only with the conversion or submission of all mankind to Islam…Muslims believe that expansion through war is not aggression but a fulfillment of the Qur’anic command to spread Islam as a way of peace. The resort to force to disseminate Islam is not war (harb), a word that is used only to describe the use of force by non-Muslims. Islamic wars are not hurab (the plural of harb) but rather futuhat, acts of “opening” the world to Islam and expressing Islamic jihad.
Relations between dar al-Islam, the home of peace, and dar al-harb, the world of unbelievers, nevertheless take place in a state of war, according to the Qur’an and to the authoritative commentaries of Islamic jurists. Unbelievers who stand in the way, creating obstacles for the da’wa, are blamed for this state of war, for the da’wa can be pursued peacefully if others submit to it.
In other words, those who resist Islam cause wars and are responsible for them.’

Rejecting Islam equates to declaring war on Islam? Where’d he get such an idea?

You gotta to love the French!!
They decapitate their Bourbon monarchy, replace it with thugs likes Robespierre, then get Napoleon who becomes an emperor (even worse than the king), and wants to unite Europe, (isn’t that what the EU is all about?), and then they exile him. Full circle?
During WW2 they have the Vichy government and are the first country in Europe to send their Jewish children to the gas chambers.
Easy to see why they are giving Iran money, really.
I have run out of sympathy for them.
(And they make lousy, tasteless wines and overrated champagne!).
“rejecting an appeal by a Muslim group which said they (cartoons) incited hatred of Islam”
————————————————————————————————
The only thing “inciting hatred of Islam” in today’s world is the behavior of those PROMOTING ISLAM.
“Why are you making me kill you?” they ask plaintively, “when all you have to do is submit to the peace of Islam.”
“But I don’t LIKE Islam”, you reply.
“There you go again, making me kill you… Stop calling Islam violent, this is all YOUR OWN FAULT!”
Maybe we infidels are fighting this war all wrong. Perhaps we should convert to Koranism (but not really mean it) and then change it to the point that it disappears-sort of like termites eating through a tree.
ISLAMSFORLOSERS Says: Maybe we infidels are fighting this war all wrong. Perhaps we should convert to Koranism (but not really mean it)
But that may lead to the worst thing imaginable – an Islamic Inquisition.
