Mila: Teen who criticised Islam on Instagram moves school
BBC News ^ | February 10, 2020

Posted on 02/10/2020 7:27:26 AM PST by Oldeconomybuyer

A French teenager who criticised Islam on Instagram has moved to a new school after receiving death threats.

Education minister Gabriel Attal told broadcaster LCI on Monday that they had found a new school for Mila "to allow her to continue her life".

Mila, 16, sparked a national row over free speech when she called Islam a "religion of hate".

The teen's criticisms prompted fury but also drew support in France, where there are no laws against blasphemy.

Her comments about Islam came after she received homophobic abuse from a Muslim commenter. Supporters started the hashtag #JeSuisMila (I am Mila), while critics responded with #JeNeSuisPasMila.

She did not return to school after making the remarks. But on Monday Mr Attal said they had found her a "solution" and would be moving to another school which is not been made public to protect her safety.

France has a strictly secular constitution, but also a large Muslim population. There have been frequent clashes over policy in recent years, such as a government ban on full-face veils in public.

In October, French President Emmanuel Macron warned against "stigmatising" Muslims or linking Islam with the fight against terrorism.

We are not a religion of hate. And to prove it, we will kill you and your family.

However, if she had said that people should use the Bible for buttwipe, she would have received thousands of “likes”.

You mean like she actually picked it up and moved it?

Its symptomatic of France. A young, teen lesbian is the only one who has a voice against the globalist-statist pro-immigrant PC propaganda.

But it doesn’t matter what she says, because lesbians don’t reproduce, or maintain societies, so Islam and their values win in the end.

Let’s be honest, she’s not attacking globalism. Most people in the LGBT community share that same values as the Hollywood elite (namely a pro-globalist, open-borders, anti-nationalist) stance. Her beef is with religious conservativism. In this case it’s Islam because Islam is far more “in your face” with regards to violent opposition.

I went to France for a semester when I was about 18 I almost 30 years ago well actually 40 years ago and there were already a lot of Muslims there. I can’t even imagine what it looks like now. They have tons of children, compared to educated white people. They’re just taking over. I worry about the day when the Muslims outnumber Christians in Quebec and in France and elsewhere. We’re in pretty big trouble then my

The French President is an idiot. Warn against linking Muslims with terrorism? Are you serious?
