Or even if I have reason to believe it really didn't happen, and discuss the reasons why. Should I get it up the arse?

I don't think it follows that this subject can only be discussed as part of a hate campaign.

I doubt that you'll really get arrested just for a joke, it's more if you publicly say it in a speech with seriousness. Can anyone from France or not from France show me that law? Sometimes a badly interpreted word can change the whole meaning of the law... Is it illegal to criticize Islam too?
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
