Well, I know it's not my DIR but I am french and live in france, so maybe I can explain a little what's going on... Please remove my post if it's not ok to you.
Dieudonné have made quite a fuss here. He present himself as a comic, but his shows are completely anti semitics, anti jew, and he attract always a big bunch of extreme racists antijew people.
Now the good new is, his shows have been killed, and he is some weird money stuff that is going to cost much to him, especially the place he own where he is making his shows.
Also, a big majority of the people here just completely hate this guy.
Also, what's going on ? The thing is, many sensitive laws like same sex marriage passed recently in France. And all of a sudden, everyone saw the usually silent homophobic, ultra religious rise and protesting in the streets. This going to that, months later, they became quite of a big movement because the racists and anti jews and anti whatever joined them. Those past weeks, they used misinformation to get "ordinary" (meaning, normal people.) to join them, spreading false rumors about masturbation and gender equality being taught at primary school. Following that, they got their ranks fattened up by ordinary parents worried for their childs.
And they are still quite active, making a big fuss in the streets because they want to governement to kill the same sex marriage law, because homosexual people should not have childrens, because they are rapists, because they will marry animals, because childrens will be unhappy, because this is not what God taught, because they don't like this, they don't approve that...
As you can see, stupid people, stupid reasons.
They do not constitute a majority or anything. I've actually seen jew people wearing kipa without having problem.
There is a lot of racism problems. French being racists with the jews. Arabs being racists with the French. This being racists with that. There is a real social and cultural problem in France. But that doesn't mean French are specifically racists or anti jew. Yes, many are. But they do not represent a majority of French people, Majority of French people don't even care about jews and try to survive struggling with the loss of their jobs and the cost of living.
There is one exception however: Paris. That's a whole world in itself. But hey, good news is, Paris is not all France !
People should come less to Paris, and more in nicer cities around like Toulouse ! Then you'll see France.
Anyway, I think for more info on the Dieudonné guy, you should probably read french news. 'cause there have been quite a lot happening. Thank God, now it seems settled and this guy is not opening his mouth anymore lastly
Sorry again for posting your DIR :sorry: I just wanted to clear some things up. Not that I like my country, I actually plan to LEAVE it. But it really sadden me, as a French, to be classified as racist or anti-jew because of a big mouthed minority and the sensationalism of many foreign news.
