(AFP) – A far-right French mayor will be tried on hate charges over comments that include a claim the number of Muslim students in his city was a “problem”, a judicial source said Wednesday.
Robert Menard, who is an ally of France’s anti-immigrant National Front party, will face a charge in a Paris court of incitement to hatred or discrimination, the source said.
“In a class in the city centre in my town, 91 percent of the children are Muslims. Obviously, this is a problem. There are limits to tolerance”, he said in September 5 comments on French news channel LCI.
Also in September, on France’s first day back to school, he tweeted his regret at witnessing “the great replacement”, using a term by xenophobic writer Renaud Camus to describe the country’s white, Christian population being overtaken by foreign-born Muslims.
Menard, who is the mayor of southern France town Beziers, denied his comments were discriminatory.
“I just described the situation in my town,” he told AFP. “It is not a value judgement, it’s a fact. It’s what I can see.”

France increasing its pace to total suicide.
“The great replacement.”
The statist naive bureaucrats keep this stuff up, and the backlash will elect LePen
There is no stupidity like ideological stupidity.
Offend Muslims by speaking theTruth about Islam ... they deserve it.
When telling the truth is a criminal act . . .
the self destruction of France
This was my verse for today:
Mark 13:11 (NIV)
Whenever you are arrested and brought to trial, do not worry beforehand about what to say. Just say whatever is given you at the time, for it is not you speaking, but the Holy Spirit.
islam is a totalitarian death cult founded by a child rapist.
When did we decide to make “hate” illegal? I don’t remember that.
Should be “French Mayor filing lawsuit against Muslim (insert group name) for violating right to free speech”
If this mayor is smart, he won’t back down. He’ll use his trial as a public forum to criticize the Government.
Agreed. Like Geert Wilders did in 2010. ...and was found not guilty.
I guess this mayor forgot France is now a muslim country.
How dare he interfere with the secret takover of France by the savage hordes supported by the elected officials
You see, Islam is the religion of peace. They will live side by side in “peace” with nonbelievers. The only time they become unpeaceful to the nonbelieving neighbors is when they commit blasphemy to Mohammed, the Koran, or Islam.
What do they consider blasphemy? Anything they say it is.
