...republication by Danish media of the caricatures was a gesture of solidarity with the artist, who had been warned against the plot by the police and moved to a safe hiding place already in November last year. "Yesterday's arrest of three people who, according to PET, were planning to kill one of the cartoonists, Kurt Westergaard, is deeply shocking and disturbing. It shows that there are presumably Islamic fanatics who are willing to make a reality of the threats and who respect neither freedom of speech nor the law," wrote national daily Politiken in its editorial.

In order to be safe and properly discriminatory, the FDA should address all forms of high-risk behavior without singling out homosexual men.

Because if Neuilly isn't safe for the UMP, no place is. Perched on the capital's western perimeter, with the leafy, sprawling Bois de Boulogne on its southern flank, Neuilly is a kind of Parisian Upper East Side: a quick commute to downtown offices, and a quiet residential enclave whose location gives residents a jump start on the Friday rush to Normandy beach homes. It was here, among the French film...
