In France, the land of liberty, equlity and fraternity, to say a bad word about Islam means a hefty fine and court appearance - and no one who dares to defend you.
The controversy began with his intervention in September 2016 on the broadcast “C à vous”. Éric Zemmour was then immediately sued at the 17th Criminal Court of the Paris Court. He must respond to the alleged offense of “incitement to discrimination and hatred against people of Muslim faith”. The lawsuit is promoted by the EuroPalestine Association.
Zemmour is in trouble for a few sentences, such as the ones describing Muslims as those who “have to choose between Islam and France”, saying that “Jihad is a religious duty”, that “Muslims consider jihadists as good Muslims” and that “moderate Islam does not exist”. Ideas. Ideas are debatable in a European pluralist democracy proud of the free circulation of ideas, as well as goods and people. But these ideas are becoming forbidden in France.
Thus, Zemmour was sentenced of incitement to hatred and a fine of 5,000 euros. 8,000 spectators lodged a complaint at the State Council for Audiovisual. It is not the first conviction that Zemmour suffers for his ideas about France and Islam. In 2014, in an interview with the Italian daily Il Corriere della Sera, he said that France’s estimated five million Muslims should be “deported” to avoid “chaos and civil war”.

And Canada.
To learn who rules over you...
[[He must respond to the alleged offense of “incitement to discrimination and hatred against people of Muslim faith”.]]
And they are going after muslims for “incitement to discrimination and hatred against people of Jewish and Christian Faith” too right?
So therefore they are not free in France, or Canada. They may maintain an illusion they are free, but this shows they are not. They are in the process of willingly surrendering their liberty.
I’m hoping that it’s not an irreversible road downward, but rather go only so far before it triggers a massive backlash that puts things right.
Kind of a phase discontinuity kind of thing.
But if he created an artwork featuring a guy with a crucifix stuck up his butt, he’d be hailed as a great and courageous artist.
Mohammed was demon-possessed; he was a liar, a murderer, a rapist, and a pedophile.
As a matter of fact, we more or less have these laws in place already, de facto if not de jure. Criticize any non-white, non-western race, culture, or religion, and you risk being beyond the pale of "respectable" journalism, politics, or even the business world. In some way our self-censorship through social pressure is worse than censorship by law, because it's more insidious.
“Mort contre l’islam et les musulmans”
Okay, France: Sue me.
What CNN held over the head of HanA**Solo.
American urban ‘black’ culture is terminally broken. It produces only insanity, disease, degradation, dependency, indolence, ignorance, stupidity, violence, and crime.
Just curious - what happens if you criticize Christianity?
“They are in the process of willingly surrendering their liberty.”
And I will bet that the majority of the brainwashed Frogs truly think they’re even more free because of it.
Note to Trump: Give Mr Zemmour immediate refugee status here and a fast track to full citizenship.

You’re right. As just one example, criticize Israel on an American college campus, and you will be applauded.
But should you say anything even mildly critical of Islam, you will be vilified. And shunned. You might even be physically attacked.
Then you get a parade in your honor.
The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam.
