The French novelist
Michel Houellebecq is being sued by four Islamic organizations in
Paris after making
insults remarks about Islamic religion in his latest book. For the
novelist he has a gift
for insults and provocations.
“In my novels, it adds a
certain spice. It’s rather humorous, no? What I think as an
individual
seems to be of no
importance here.” Said Houellebecq.
The lawyers for the
Paris and Lyon mosques said in a statement: "It is anti-Muslim
racism
that is at the heart of
the trial, not the personality or the provocative tastes of one
successful
author or another."
The novel, Platform, is
also cited in the case being made by the largest mosques in Paris
and Lyon, the National
Federation of French Muslims (FNMN) and the World Islamic
League.
In an interview He
said, “When you read the Koran, you’re shattered. The Bible at least
is
beautifully written
because the Jews have a heck of a literary talent. Islam is the
dumbest
religion, after all.
