Marine Le Pen 'loses immunity' over comparing Islamic prayers to Nazi occupation (France)

Mrs Le Pen, leader of the National Front, told a rally in 2010 that the places in France where Muslims worshipped in the streets were "occupied territory".

"For those who want to talk a lot about World War Two, if it's about occupation, then we could also talk about it (Muslim prayers in the streets), because that is occupation of territory," she said at a gathering in Lyon.

In December 2012, French authorities asked the European Parliament to lift Mrs Le Pen's immunity as a European Parliament member (MEP) so she could be prosecuted.

The BBC reports that a secret vote, held earlier this week, voted "overwhelmingly" to remove Mrs Le Pen's immunity.

The vote would need to be ratified formally in parliament, but the BBC states that this would likely be a formality. There was no comment from Mrs Le Pen.

It’s partly our fault, here in the USA./s//

Several centuries of attracting the best and brightest, the most adventurous and industrious, and all the clearest thinkers to legally immigrate to the USA, severely harmed the genetic pools throughout Europe, not to mention the rest of the world.

Those people, in turn, saved as many individual family members as they could.

But I can’t explain how or why the French convinced the rest of Europe to join the EU.

Oh wait...they didn’t, did they?
None of the citizens of Europe were allowed to vote themselves in or out, were they?

She is right—the forces of reaction are on the rise. The day of PC are numbered. France should start the mass deportaions of Islamic cultists. Ship them to North Africa —end all the free give aways! It will happen—do it now painlessly or later with blood in the streets.
