France's Le Pen to go on trial for tweeting gruesome IS images

French far-right leader Marine Le Pen has been ordered to stand trial for tweeting pictures of Islamic State atrocities, a judicial source told AFP on Wednesday.

Le Pen shared the gruesome images in December 2015, a few weeks after IS jihadists killed 130 people in attacks in Paris.

After WW II, the Allies released pictures of the death camps. Those pictures were disturbing, very disturbing. But it was necessary to release them. The world needed to see just how bad the Nazis were.

The same should apply in regards to ISIS. But of course Muslims are a protected class. The Nazis were not.

Oh, and one more thing. Le Pen's party scored well in the last election. No way would the French Deep State sit still for that. Hence this prosecution.

The one problem is Marine Le Pen’s nearly 90 year old father continues to deny that there were gas chambers in the Holocaust.

What is the CRIME?!?!

I can go to youtube now and watch an ex politician put a gun in his mouth and pull the trigger.

He brought the gun in a lunch bag to a conference like there was a bologna sandwich in it lol

We are witnessing the rise of pure fascism.

If you are not liked by the worldwide Deep State, a crime will be manufactured.

There is absolutely no crime in posting a true, if gruesome, image.

It is time that these Deep State futhermuckers HANG FROM RUCKING FOPES!

Repeating: Again, all of this would have more meaning if Marine Le Pen’s father wasn’t an avowed Holocaust denialist. It was this kind of anti-Semitic nonsense that brought ruin to France and opened the doors for the situation they’re in now. That is the irony of it all.

Right. Le Pen’s party is perhaps the last hope to save France. But that party carries a lot of nasty baggage.

Ah, holding the child accountable for the sins of the father.

Very Old Testament. I thought we did away with that with Jesus.

OK. So? The dad no longer has a position in Marine Le Pen's organization.

Even if he did, I would favor an anti-Islam Holocaust-denier over any sort of pro-Islamic-immigration politician. The Nazis are done. Islam is the modern-day threat.

Yes it leaves Catholic conservatives stuck between a rock and a hard place. The younger Le Pens have changed their party’s name from National Front to National Assembly or whatever, and Marine’s niece goes by ‘Marion Marechal’ now, having dropped the Le Pen name. She has promising future should she play her cards right.

Too many people do not appreciate the freedoms we have as Americans. The rest of the world (even Canada, which most Americans view as being just like the USA, but more expensive)prosecutes for politically incorrect speech. If the Dems can manage it, that will soon be the norm in the USA, too.

It’s French Nazis and French Soviet-Enthusiasts who brought ruin to France in the first place. The Resistance was very small. And it’s taken a generation for French people to properly appreciate America’s role in WWII.

Actually it was elements of the French Revolution itself that ruined France.

How history is interpreted matters A LOT.

charges of circulating "violent messages that incite terrorism or pornography or seriously harm human dignity"

If information about Islam can not be circulated, then how are the French people supposed to know how severe the threat is?

What threat? Muslims are wonderful, peaceful, and the salt of the earth. They deserve France ... Spain ... UK ... Scandinavia. Now hush little babe sleepy time, you know.

You bet. And here’s another one. The French government has prosecuted screen legend Brigitte Bardot numerous times. Her crime? Bardot had dared to say something bad about Muslims.

Here’s one case:
