"I'll kill you" is what he said to the Asian companion. If the allegations are true, he definitely made a death threat.
BTW, I don't recall ever saying that anti-semitism is the only one protected by law and other forms of racist/anti-religion comments were never prosecuted; so I don't see where I have admitted being wrong or how bringing up the example of Bardot proves me wrong.
Again, anyone who wants to understand the situation in France should look into Dieudonne's case. As a famous French comedian, he had been joking many different groups without any significant problems. It is only when he made a sketch of an Israeli "settler" that all hell broke loose, with legal and other problems. During one of the many attacks against him on French TV, one guy said something like "well, after all, he's a n....." commenting on his African ancestry; this racist comment did not bring very much condemnation, if any.
Anyway, before buying Dior products, potential Asian costumers might want to think about Dior's considering anti-semitic comments as graver than anti-Asian ones or as death threats.

No, different words were used in both cases. Find out what the guy said and you will understand.
No.
Hontoni,really? It seems all you know about Dieudonne is what you read on Wiki. If you were really family with his situation you would understand that although in theory all kinds of racisms may be punished in France, in reality it is not quite the case.
BTW, do you consider the alleged anti-semitic remark to be worst than the death threat or the anti-Asian remark?
Anyway, considering that the woman that was "assaulted" claims Galliano repeated the insult 1000 times, I wonder how much of this entire story is true.

From my own experience on this forum, I have a good idea what will get my post deleted and what will get me suspended for 48 hrs. Quoting the comments to the Asian companion would get me at least suspended for 48 hrs.
You're correct, I don't know nothing about France and her laws, I know quite a lot in fact.
Learn about what happened to Dieudonne in France and you'll probably agree with my comments.

According to the woman that was assaulted he said a thousand times “Dirty Jewish face, you should be dead,” calling her a “whore” and “ugly”.
It seems he also made racist comments to her Asian companion, which I cannot write here.
What he said was clearly not nice, but if I were to chose a headline to best reflect what he said, I would have chosen "death threats" or "racist remarks" before choosing "antisemitism". But as expected, it seems AP felt the antisemitism outweighed the other two.

No, only one RELIGION gets this special protection.
I'd like to know what he said, since the term "anti-semite" gets thrown around so much. Without knowing what he said, this AP article is quite meaningless.

Exactly, the Israelis wiped it off the map.
No, these groups are fighting against illegal occupation and aggressions, big difference. Stop blaming the victim.
And Israel constantly threatens to attack Iran for allegedly pursuing (without evidence) what Israel already has.
If ever they wanted to make nuclear weapons, they still have a very long way to go. And they allow full inspections, so the world can confirm that the radioactive material has not been diverted to weapons.
However, the lying press is exactly the same. And surprisingly, despite the huge loss of life on all sides, people are not concerned by who intentionally lied and why.

atamant,
Why do you continue to stalk me, you're always following me around this forum, often with meaningless comments.
If you have an opinion on the article, post it; if not, ....!
And stop trying to express my opinions, as you seem to have no clue what they are.
Moderator: To all readers - Please focus your comments on the story, not at or about each other.

They just go ahead and destroy them (e.g., Palestine).
They even threaten to attack Iran for allegedly pursuing (without evidence) what Israel already has. This does not make any sense.

You are wrong. People are also ignoring that America's own intelligence believes Iran is NOT pursuing nuclear weapons.
True. But they have no business complaining about Iran's peaceful civilian nuclear program. Also, that makes all American financial and military aid to Israel over the past few decades illegal!!!

They did not violate the NPT. They disclosed the facility long before they had to, which is not before they start building but rather before moving radioactive material into the facility. They did not violate the NPT, despite the 3 stooges's (Obama, Sarko, and Brown) attempt to make Iran look bad.
Iran signed the NPT is following the NPT rules and allows open inspections; Israel does not.

Hmmmm, seems that what AP is doing is trying to get people to subconsciously make the following associations [nuclear program] + [missile development] + [prediction of zionist regime disappearance] = developing nuclear missiles to destroy Israel.
Seems AP's strategy works on some people.
There is no evidence to the contrary. Seems those gullible people who fell for Saddam's WMDs are the same who are falling for Iran's nuclear weapons.
Fact is, there is one regime in the Middle East with nuclear weapons who has attacked its neighbours many times and constantly threatens to attack Iran; its Israel, they should shut up and stop whining about Iran.

Iran and Israel are bitter enemies. Israel considers Iran a threat because of:
its nuclear program - so what? they signed the NPT and allow free inspections; no evidence of Iran pursuing nuclear weapons.
missile development - so what? they have not attacked their neighbours in centuries. Why shouldn't they able to build up a defense against the saber rattlers (US, Israel,...)
frequent references by its leader to Israel’s destruction - so he predicted that the regime occupying Jerusalem will vanish, just as the Soviet regime did. So what?
Funny how agencies like AP take advantage of these situations to list again and again the alleged negative points of one side, Iran, while NEVER mentioning the actual negative points, and there are many, of the other side, Israel. Funny that!

Why would a ship from a peaceful country like Iran be considered a provocation? Provocations are acts like keeping millions of people prisoners under terrible conditions of malnutrition and poor access to medical treatment (Gaza), or murdering thousands of innocent unarmed civilians (e.g., Gaza and Lebanon in very recent history), bombing known and clearly marked UN schools and outposts; those are provocations, but a peaceful country like Iran visiting its friend Syria should not be of any concern.
That hasn't stopped them before. Recall the humanitarian flotilla and the USS Liberty.

Yeah, that is what the Israelis say. They often lie, you know, VERY often.

They have? You wouldn't happen to have a link for that would you?
There was a delay, but not because of Iran withdrawing their request.
Yeah, they had no intention of going there. Iran did not back down from anything.

Leaving them decide their paths? What are you talking about? The west did not let the Gazans chose their own path; when they elected Hamas, the west imposed sanctions.
And in Lebanon, Hezbollah arose form the murderous Israeli invasion.

kinniku/atamant,
Why do you think those countries have expressed anti-Western sentiments? I hope you will not say that its because they hate our freedom!
There is a danger of extremism on all sides. We could say that the US and Israeli regimes are extremists...
