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

Robert Spencer in FrontPage: Marine Le Pen Ordered to Take Psychiatric Tests for Opposing Jihad Terror

Sep 24, 2018 2:00 pm By Robert Spencer

She does not yet love Big Brother enough. My latest in FrontPage:

You thought it would stop with the defaming and deplatforming of foes of jihad terror? No. Soviet-style judgments of insanity are next. And what will come after that? The answer is clear enough.

The Local reported Thursday that French “far right” (i.e., opposed to mass Muslim migration and French cultural and political suicide) leader Marine Le Pen has been ordered by a French court to undergo a psychiatric examination in order to discover whether or not she “is capable of understanding remarks and answering questions.”

Why this doubt as to Le Pen’s mental competence? Because she “tweeted out gruesome propaganda images from terror group Isis that showed the bodies of people having been executed by the so-called Islamic State.”

And why did she do that? Out of a lurid fascination with blood and gore, or some secret sympathy for the Islamic State’s jihad? No. She tweeted out those images because her party was being likened to the Islamic State in the French media. In a bid to bring the national discussion back to some semblance of sanity, she pointed out – by means of visual aids – that her party was not behaving in the same way as the Islamic State, and not leaving a trail of bloodshed and death in its wake.

But that meant nothing to the French authorities who are desperate to destroy her, her movement, and any and all opposition to their globalist, socialist, open-borders agenda. She was charged with circulating “violent messages that incite terrorism or pornography or seriously harm human dignity.” And now, according to The Local, “as part of their investigation it appears magistrates in Nanterre near Paris have ordered Le Pen to visit a psychiatrist for an expert assessment.” Adding to the Orwellian flavor of the whole scenario was the fact that this order was issued on September 11.

Le Pen is still trying to inject a note of sanity into this fantastically insane public discourse, stating: “I thought I had been through it all: well, no! For denouncing the horrors of Daesh (Isis) by tweets the ‘justice system’ has referred me for a psychiatric assessment. How far will they go?!”

How far indeed? Le Pen is defiant: “Of course I will not go to this psychiatric assessment and I will wait to see how the magistrate intends to force me.” Indeed, we are all waiting. Now that the French authorities have begun to engage in the Soviet tactic of branding their opposition mentally incompetent, what other Soviet tactics will follow? Will thuggish “security personnel” knock on Le Pen’s door at three in the morning, and drag her off to a prison cell and physical and psychological torture? Will she end up in a camp where the truncheon will be employed liberally until she emerges “reeducated,” loving Big Brother and proclaiming that Islam is religion of peace and tolerance that has nothing whatsoever to do with terrorism?

These kinds of scenarios are not hysterical fantasies anymore, if they ever were. If Le Pen is ordered to undergo psychiatric examination for the completely sane act of opposing the Islamic State and refuting claims that her movement is like it, then all bets are off. France, like Britain (where the police are devoting themselves to tracking down not just “hate crimes,” but “non-crime hate incidents,” i.e., thoughtcrimes, while actual crime rates skyrocket), is rapidly descending into totalitarianism, and there is no telling where it will end. If thoughts that dissent from the Leftist establishment agenda can be prosecuted and declared to be evidence of insanity, then the door has been opened to all the rest of the features of the reign of terror that always accompanies the rule of the hard-Left.

And so we will soon see. Will French authorities indeed come after Le Pen, and enforce this order? Will she be imprisoned for refusing it? Will others who declare that Islam is not a religion of peace and that mass Muslim migration into Europe is unwise be likewise declared insane and carted off to hospitals and/or prisons? Will France and other Eurosocialist autocracies open gulags for those who dare to say that jihad terror is something that decent people should oppose?

Le Pen also stated: “It’s really incredible. This regime is really starting to worry me.” You and me both, sister.

      Of course we know where the French Courts as well as the French government stands……on the side of is Islam…They are committing political suicide on a daily basis…sin fact the whole of Europe is wallowing in the murky waters of Islamic chaos……and civil war awaits in the wings if the people don’t throw out those in power who are going against everything that rightness teaches.

    My advice to her is to have everything video/audio recorded. THAT is the ONLY way to assure that what is recorded–by the “tester”–is accurate. In other words, there’s no way to dispute discrepancies.

    Rather than taking it on the chin and waiting for the next step, what needs to be done is identify and make public the names and faces of the “magistrats” who ordered this unacceptable abuse of their power for political purposes. They’re the ones who must go to prison! If the French people don’t react very strongly to this latest abuse, more abuses will come, until they won’t be able to do anything any more.

      Let’s not send the magistrates to prison too soon. First we need to send them to their favorite psychiatrists for a thorough assessment !

    Who are these people in government that are doing this and persecuting their own people for telling the truth and trying to protect the culture of their own country? I hope Ms. Le Pen is safe and has bodyguards. This is total insanity.

    Infamous “camp,” French equivalent of Gulag, was Devil’s Island off the coast of French Guyana. I don’t know if it is still in operation or if French regime plans to reopen it soon.

      The penal colony of Cayenne (aka Devil’s Island) closed in 1953, and is now a popular tourist destination.

    If you know anything about the Big Brother system being introduced into China you will realise they are trying to bring it into the west. In China they have cameras everywhere using facial recognition that track your every move, as well as electronic tracking, you are then given a social acceptance score. If you get in their bad books they will stop you from travelling & doing important things,you become a social outcast. Things that can get you offside with the dear leaders are: unpleasant social media posts, buying too much alcohol, minor crime, anything the Communist leaders don’t like really.

      Yes. This is happening in China. The sci-fi television show “Black Mirror” had a darkly humorous episode about what is happening in China with people having a public score created by the government, though in the show the setting is an English-speaking country.

      • Peggy says

        Black mirror is a great show and all should see it. It should serve as a warning to us and not be seen as entertainment only.

      The good thing about China is they know how to deal with Islam and Muslims. Creeping sharia is non-existent. China will never have sharia courts like the UK.

    Le Pen’s supporters had better get out there like was done for Tommy R in the UK. They may need to camp out in front of her home to prevent a middle of the night no knock raid.

  13. Maxwell SJ Fenton says

    The ignorant and soulless don’t understand Islam and prefer to demonise those of us who do, finding themselves bereft of the faculties to acknowledge it’s vicious, unholy barbarism they merely reject the possibility it’s a murderous lie from a demonic pervert with a penchant for poetry and sex and assume we are unstable rabble rousers who detest religion, helping Islam flourish without having to resort to violent jihad.

  14. Malcolm Jackson says

    Sep 25, 2018 at 5:22 am

    Tommy Robinson in the UK, Marine Le Pen in France and Geert Wilders in Holland facing the same problems. All 3 are Patriotic people defending us all against the evil cult of Islam. The Islam loving Nigel Farage wants nothing to do with them.

      Nigel Farage deserves great credit for achieving the Brexit referendum, and for its outstanding result. He is a terrific performer in the EU parliament – it is always a pleasure to watch him demolish the Eurocrats.

      But his betrayal of Tommy Robinson and Anne Marie Waters, and his lack of support for other European leaders who oppose the Islamisation of their countries, is a disgrace. Credible death threats from jihadis are no excuse. He could have simply retired quietly from active involvement in UK politics if his life depended on it. There was no need to slander anyone, least of all other brave people who had risked – and continue to risk – their lives in the interests of a free and democratic Britain & Europe.

    Coming to America; the Progressive, Socialist, Totalitarian, “Utopian paradise” long sought after by the increasingly radical, “intellectual” Left, put in a position of absolute, dictatorial authority and absolute control by the “American” voter.

    Winston Churchill once said, “The best argument against democracy is a five minute conversation with the average voter.”

    There ought to be a countersuit for defamation of character.
