...Muslims in France were no more amused than the ones in Denmark. (They consider any depiction of Mohammed to be blasphemy.) So three Islamic groups brought suit against Charlie Hebdo. Leconte's film follows the trial through recollections of witnesses and the legal teams as well as documenting the religious and political debates in the halls outside the courtroom. He focuses on the chronological suspense of the trial, and has the benefit of defense attorneys whose brilliance is as sharp as the magazine's. When the plaintiffs' lawyer argues that Islam is caricatured more unfairly than other religions, one attorney...
...Forgotten Allies No one would wish to devalue the sacrifice of Canada's soldiers in Afghanistan, but Samantha Power's statement [April 28] that "Canada occupies the fighting tier, alongside the U.S. Britain, Denmark and the Netherlands" is disappointingly incomplete. It might interest Power to learn that Australia has almost a thousand troops on the ground in Afghanistan, 350 dedicated to the reconstruction effort, but at least 400 more on operational duties, which puts them very much in the fighting tier.

In an increasingly two-tiered NATO alliance, Canada occupies the fighting tier, alongside the U.S., Britain, Denmark and the Netherlands...
...three months, the Dutch have wrung their hands over the release of the anti-Islamic film Fitna by the provocative, far-right politician Geert Wilders, who has called Islamic theology "retarded" and "dangerous." Concerned over a repeat of the worldwide anger over the cartoons of the prophet Mohammed in Denmark, Dutch politicians railed against the self-proclaimed diatribe against Muslim propensity toward violence. No local outlet (television, web or theater) would show it. Wilders' own server was shut down to prevent the film from being posted online. A lawsuit has been filed against the film. But Wilders would...
