Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

French convert to Islam gets prison over “cyber jihad”

Mar 6, 2014 2:01 pm By Robert Spencer

cyberjihad400Yet another convert to Islam misunderstands his peaceful religion to think that it has something to do with violence against Infidels. Yet there is still no program anywhere in the world to teach converts to Islam to reject this understanding of Islam that the majority of Muslims ostensibly reject. Now, why is that?

“Jail Sentence in France Over ‘Cyber Jihad,’” by Alissa J. Rubin for the New York Times, March 5:

A French convert to Islam was convicted of using the Internet to disseminate terrorist propaganda and promote participation in terrorist acts and was sentenced by a Paris court to one year in prison and two more on probation late Tuesday. The case is the first using a law passed in 2012 that makes “cyber jihad” a crime and potentially has serious consequences for freedom of expression in France. The law was passed in response to the attacks in Toulouse by Mohammed Merah, who killed seven people including three children and apparently was inspired in part by extremist Internet postings. The maximum sentence in Tuesday’s case could have been five years in prison, and the relatively light term given to Romain Letellier, 27, suggested that both prosecutors and judges were still considering how to apply the new law. The prosecutor said that the trial was happening in a context where young people become radicalized rapidly after reading material on the Internet.

    Considering how many French jihadists are there in bloody hell Syria, I guess Fwance did a decent job on this one.

    Time to relax with this beautiful french song…banned in France!

    Listen to my very sweet song
    Verlaine wouldn’t have done better
    It is discreet and lightweighted
    A shudder of water on the foam
    It is the lament of the spouse,
    Of the woman behind her fence
    They make her live in the Middle Ages
    May they be covered with shame..

    Why would a French man convert to Islam? Doesn’t that mean he would have to be circumcised? Why would anybody do that?

    I’m an international student in UK. Just yesterday in my university there was a great lecture on how great it was that islam liberated women. People who live with the polygamous husband feel less burdened, because their counterparts will share their burden of household work.
    There was all kinds of shit that was being said abt the hijab and burqa.
