If a manifesto falls in a forest



Last Sunday 300 French public figures signed a manifesto in Le Parisien (translation here)

How did the West react to the manifesto "Against the new anti-Semitism"? 

I googled and found that The Daily Mail , Le Figaro and New York Post (see above ) referred to this part  

En conséquence, nous demandons que les versets du Coran appelant au meurtre et au châtiment des juifs, des chrétiens et des incroyants soient frappés d’obsolescence par les autorités théologiques, comme le furent les incohérences de la Bible et l’antisémite catholique aboli par Vatican II, afin qu’aucun croyant ne puisse s’appuyer sur un texte sacré pour commettre un crime.

Therefore, we ask that the verses of the Qur'an calling for the murder and punishment of Jews, Christians and unbelievers be declared obsolete by theological authorities, just as were the incoherencies of the Bible and as Catholic anti-Semitism was abolished by Vatican II, so that no believer can rely on a sacred text to commit a crime.

The rest chose to ignore it  VOA , The Times of Israel , France 24JTA,  Arutz 7 , AFP, RFI, The Telegraph ,The New York Times  and  The Independent
