[1]AFP:
French anti-terrorism authorities Friday opened an inquiry into
death threats against a philosophy teacher who has been forced into
hiding over a newspaper column attacking Islam, legal officials
said.
Robert Redeker, 52, is receiving round-the-clock police protection
and changing addresses every two days, after publishing an article
describing the Koran as a "book of extraordinary violence" and
Islam as "a religion which... exalts violence and hate".
He told i-TV television he had received several e-mail threats
targeting himself and his wife and three children, and that his
photograph and address were available on several Islamist Internet
sites.
"There is a very clear map of how to get to my home, with the
words: 'This pig must have his head cut off'," he said.
