France: Court forbids magazine to republish photos of Nice jihad massacre

Jul 15, 2017 9:58 am By Robert Spencer

Keeping people ignorant and complacent about the nature and magnitude of the jihad threat is the top priority.

“Nice attack: Paris Match ordered not to republish photos,” BBC, July 14, 2017:

Paris Match does not need to pull an edition showing CCTV mages of the 14 July attack in Nice from France’s newsstands but is forbidden from re-publishing it, a court has ruled.

The ruling, made late on Thursday, came after the Paris prosecutor called for the magazine to be removed from sale.

The images show the moment a lorry, which killed 86 people, drove into crowds celebrating Bastille Day.

A victims’ group has accused the magazine of morbid sensationalism.

Nice’s Mayor Christian Estrosi also criticised the publication on the eve of the first anniversary of the attack.

On Thursday morning, the prosecutor asked the court to “order the (magazine’s) withdrawal from sale” as well as a “ban on publication in all formats, particularly online”.

But the court did not order the retraction of the magazines currently on sale around France,

Instead, it banned “any new publication”, including online, of two images which the tribunal found were an attack “on human dignity”….

    Communists are usually the ones to ban photos of attrocities

      Yes, the Leftards are protecting their ‘NOBLE SAVAGE’ pets from exposure and criticism. They don’t want anyone to know that ideological Islam is the enemy of Western civilization.

      This is the JIHAD OF THE PEN (legal jihad).

      PARIS MATCH DEFENDS HUMAN DIGNITY,

      but ISLAM ATTACKS the HUMAN DIGNITY of the DIRTY, DESPISED KUFAAR and WOMEN.

    I detest prior restraint on publication. However, I cannot begin to imagine the distress felt by the families of the victims at seeing images of their loved ones being mowed down by a homicidal madman. It would be preferable if the families could reach an accomodation with Paris Match directly, rather than seeking the intervention of the French state.

      For “homicidal madman” read “observant devout muslim” doing “exactly what this book says” (as Allen West explains:

      “Kill them wherever you find them” – Koran 2:191, 9:5, part of Islamic law.

        Mohammed was a mass killer, and is the “beautiful pattern [to follow]”.
        Hear his contemporaries:
        “and they say, “Indeed, he is mad.” – Koran 68:51

      I think the real horror is that this Jihad terror happened–not that the French public be allowed to see the threat that they face.

    Even before those vicious ISIS jihad attack and those brutal murderous Islamic terror attacks in Paris on July 14 and then on November 13, 2015 and then that Nice, France jihad murdering jihad attack on July 14, 2016 in an ISIS audio recording broadcasted on September 2014 declared “If you can kill a disbelieving American or European especially the spiteful and filthy French …kill him in any manner or way however it may be.” [1] This alone exposes the vicious and malicious way of thinking of the jihadist who composes ISIS. The result of this wicked mindset where those heinously malice – filled jihad mindset was carried out by those by those Islamic jihadist deadly attacks in Paris and Nice. Furthermore the jihadists of ISIS sure have some gall calling the French “spiteful” since it’s the jihadist ISIS thugs who are so very spiteful that they murder people in many extremely cruel ways. Likewise, the ISIS savages have some gall calling the French “filthy” Since it’s the ISIS jihadist villains who the ones who are so lawless and vile that the kidnap and rape both girls and women.

    You first establish the principle that the right to free expression can be abridged by the claims of “offended” groups not to be offended.

    You then open the approval process to groups with the most lawyers or the most political clout, i.e. identity and racial groups. So, we have a pretty clear track to censor criticism of Islam or just about anyone. Pointing out that US Jews voted overwhelmingly for Hillary will be censored. Naturally, reciting almost any element of sharia law or the descriptions in “Reliance of the Traveler” will be banned, as they offend either Muslims or leftist “anti-racists”. The possibilities are virtually endless.

    France: Court forbids magazine to republish photos of Nice jihad massacre
    …………………………

    Repulsive crushing of freedom of speech–and all to keep Infidels ignorant about the scope of the Jihad threat. Appalling.

    Do terrorists carry ID cards linking them to isis? No…..all that is required is that if they are muslim and hear the call for jihad some will act……using whatever is at hand..that can inflict terror. Vehicular jihad was his choice….his fellows muslims will say not possible ……and give a plethora of reasons this has nothing to do with Islam. We have heard and seen this before…..driving a truck 2 km’s into a crowd of people should confuse no one of his intent. In France….that may get a little fuzzy…the denial will be strong but it won’t change the potential of the doctrines reach.

    2 days after the Nice attack I went to my usual yahoo.com to read up on the latest news about the attack. I had to scroll down the list of news articles over 100 articles down (I counted) to find it. Yahoo buried the biggest story in the news! When I saw that it became clear Yahoo is compromised. I have not used Yahoo since.

    This is a very relevant and newsworthy story. Paris Match may have its problems but it is, on the whole, a reputable national magazine in France.

    For Paris Match to be forbidden from publishing photos of a relevant news story is a very disturbing court decision. This reeks of politically correct censorship.

    Dontcha just love it when “courts of law” cover up for crimes and criminals by suppressing the evidence?

    Why, one might almost think said courts judges and lawyers were criminals them selves, no?

    Re: “(The court) banned “any new publication”, including online, of two images which the tribunal found were an attack “on human dignity”….”

    “Human dignity!”? Hm that sounds like another weasel-term or synonym for ‘hurt feewings!’ to me!

    Well, I’ve said it here before, and it looks like I won’t run out of instances of having to say it all over again and again, anytime soon:

    “Any and all judges and legislators who put “hurt feelings” before facts, should be fired and JAILED!”
