(Rome) Maurizio Belpietro editor of Italian newspaper Libero (Now editor of the daily La Verità) has
been cleared of wrongdoing over a headline printed after the 2015 terrorist attacks in Paris, which labelled the killers 'Islamic bastards'.
The headline was published after the after the attacks in Paris
which saw 130 people murdered in cold blood. Naturally the ethical
latte brigade and their overlords took offence which is why the trial took place after
several Muslims filed complaints to the public prosecutor, and a local Islamic
organization, demanded €350,000 in
compensation for hurt feelings (Unlike the actual deaths of 130 people in Paris)
In court the prosecutor wanted Belpietro hit with a fine of €8,300 for what he
described as "a generalized insult to one and a half million people of the
Islamic faith. Unfortunately for all these snowflakes who get offended over
words and never actual acts of violence carried out in their name. The court
threw out their case and acquitted Belpietro of all charges. It seems that they
never bothered reading what was written and simply concentrated on the headline.
Which was:
“Not all Muslims are terrorists and not all Catholics are peaceful. We didn't say all Muslims were terrorists: we wrote Islamic (adjective) bastards (noun) – the language is clear.”
