Dieudonne arrested: let the hypocrites speak out

So Dieudonne was arrested.  I bet you that none of those who chanted "I am Charlie" will dare say "I am Dieudonne"--not even if Dieudonne was assassinated. This episode about Charlie Hebdo proves beyond the shadow of a doubt, one more time, that in the West not all forms of hate and bigotry are treated equally, and that hate against Muslim is quite respectable. Insults against Jews are treated as far worse than insults against Muslims, and no one in Western society would be caught--even if his/her life depended on it--supporting the freedom of speech for anti-Semites.  As for me, I am neither Charlie nor Dieudonne as I detest them both.
