Hizballah TV (Al-Manar) has been banned from broadcasting in France: Hezbollah TV slams French decision to ban EU broadcasts.

The Hizballah lunatics responded, naturally, with thinly veiled threats.

BEIRUT (AFP) - Al-Manar television, the mouthpiece of the Lebanese Shiite Muslim group Hezbollah, blasted a decision by a French court to ban its EU broadcasts as a “dangerous precedent.”

The move by the Council of State, France’s highest administrative court, is “an affront to freedom of expression, a denial of the principles that France has always backed and a dangerous precedent in France’s attitude toward Arab media,” Al-Manar said in a statement.
