The rally-round-Hassan-Diab movement disturbs and disgusts. Instead of allowing French courts -- and French police, who take a no-nonsense approach to Muslim terrorists, having a long (and largely successful) record of foiling them -- to try Hassan Diab, his defenders wish to prevent him even from being extradited to the country where the crime he is accused of committing took place. Why would French authorities try to frame, after 30 years, an innocent man? Answer: they wouldn’t. They believe Hassan Diab is the man responsible for murdering four people outside a synagogue on the rue Copernic. Shouldn’t French justice be allowed to take its course?
