I have no hate at all, honestly speaking I dont give a $hit, I enjoy my life in a free country, and I actually have more friends now than before.
Really? No hate?
When I talk about arabs ,muslims and the UAE it is because I am being asked, and everytime, I strongly recommend they go to another country. Or it is to re establish facts
May be you buy all the BS from Shafique, but people visiting DF should read different opinions
You don't give opinions Herve, you spit out hatred.
BB, DW tried the slander and defamation, in court, it did not work.
Yes, yes, yes. We have heard it all before. Actually we have heard it over, and over, and over.
You know little about the publishing business dont you. A manuscript goes through editors, publishers, proof reading and so forth, to avoid these problems. Even more now than before, with more writters publishing bad stories about what islam and the middle east , arabs are multiplying lawsuits with no cause, in a attempt to scare, an financially drain publishing houses and authors, so that books criticizing the middle east dont get published.
Herve, your manuscript must have been overlooked by editors, proofreaders, and so forth. I believe your wife was your editor and proofreader? Clearly not her profession. I suggest she doesn't give up her day job.
I dont know about people who write, publish and print and do everything on their own, yes it is possible, but it is risky for the reasons you mentionned.
Because you don't know people, doesn't mean it doesn't happen. There are hundreds of small publishing firms.
Remember when i mentionned in my book the prostitutes on Sultan's boat. not only my book goes on, no slander, no defamation of character what so ever, and you can imagine the rage on their side reading that in a published book. They made so much noise about it, that now there is an actual video tape, of sultan being grilled during a deposition about that, and he looks pretty guilty. and It s public record.
Looking guilty and being guilty are two different things. And why he would be "grilled" about that? Where's the crime? They don't have prostitutes in France? How many of those boat outings did you attend Herve?
The US is not the UAE, sueing for defamation can backfire pretty badly and make it worst for the plaintif if there is any truth in what is published.

You admitted to fabrications in your book Herve. Are you saying that because the book is written in the US, you can defame someone, even if the book is circulated internationally? Example: a British newspaper can tell a string of lies about someone who lives in America, and that person can't sue??
