This past March, Marine Le Pen was charged with circulating “violent messages that incite terrorism or pornography or seriously harm human dignity.” Her crime was tweeting the photographs of atrocities committed by fanatical Muslims, members of the Islamic State, that they themselves had released as propaganda. A few weeks after the attacks in Paris in which 130 people were killed, Marine Le Pen wanted to inform the French public of just what these members of Daesh were capable of. Her tweet was, of course, meant not to incite, but to denounce. One of the photographs was of the decapitated body of the journalist James Foley. When his family requested that photograph be removed, Marine Le Pen promptly complied, explaining she had not known the identify of the victim.
For her brave act, undertaken to deepen the public’s understanding of just how gruesomely murderous these fanatical Muslims in the Islamic State have been, she has been treated by the French state as a criminal. It now appears that magistrates in Nanterre have ordered Le Pen to visit a psychiatrist for an expert assessment. But there is nothing crazy about Marine Le Pen’s alarm about the behavior of the most fanatical Muslims, and what they regard as deeds of derring-do, nor about her worries over the demographic inroads made by Muslims in France. The crazy people are those who don’t want to hear what she has to say, want to punish her for saying it, don’t want to recognize, much less deal with, the problem of Islam, or who issue grand-sounding but futile plans, as Macron has done, for a putative “Islam of France.”
She is, of course, furious at this absurdity. “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?!” she said on September 19.
How should she deal with this demand?
She should not fight it, but turn it to her advantage.
First, she should request that the entire interview with the psychiatrist(s) be videotaped, in order to assure herself that she is not later misquoted or misrepresented in any way. If that request is denied, she should refuse to attend. This is something the public will understand, and sympathize with. Why would the authorities not allow such videotaping? What can they offer as a plausible reason? In the end, they will either have to give in and permit the videotaping, or skip the psychiatric evaluation altogether.
Second, she should make sure, despite her justified fury, not to ever let it show, but to respond calmly, quietly, thoughtfully, to the psychiatrist’s every question. She must control her anger, which in the past she has not always done. If in such a situation she can even be humorful, or ironic, in her answers, subtly suggesting the absurdity of this forced exercise, that would be welcome.
Third, she should come with a Qur’an, well-annotated, ready to support her views, and statements, on Islam. Let her base her answers on the texts themselves. How did she arrive at thinking thus and so about Islam? By reading the Qur’an, and here she can read out the relevant verses. That will demonstrate just how sober and grounded in the texts she is in her assessment. Let her session with the psychiatrist turn into a mini-seminar on Islam.
Fourth, she should also bring, along with the Qur’an, a printed-out few pages, for easy reference, containing the most important Qur’anic verses. These should include, on the subject of Jihad and “striking terror” in the hearts of the Infidels, such verses as 2:190-194, 4:89, 8:12, 8:60, 9:5, 9:29, 47:4. Other verses, on how Muslims are taught to regard themselves (3:110) and how they are taught to regard the Unbelievers (98:6), should be included. On the treatment of women, she should have 4:34 printed out, as well as the Islamic rules about inheritance by females, and about the value of a woman’s testimony being half that of a man. She should include, as part of the discussion of women, Muhammad’s remark reported in the hadith of Bukhari, that a woman’s testimony is worth half that of a man because of the “deficiency of her intelligence.”
Fifth, she should have another list prepared, of disturbing events in the life of Muhammad. These should include, at a minimum, his ordering the torture and murder of Kinana of Khaybar, the satisfaction he expressed upon learning of the killing by his followers of those who had mocked him, such as Asma bint Marwan, Abu ‘Afak, Ka’b bin al-Ashraf, his taking part in the killing of the 600-900 prisoners of the Banu Qurayza, and his consummating his marriage to Aisha when he was 54 years old and she was nine. Have all of these hadith printed out, for easy reference. She should be ready, too, with a few telling quotes from Muhammad, including his claim that “war is deceit” and his declaration that “I have been made victorious through terror.”
Armed with these texts, she will have ample material with which to support the views of Islam she has long expressed. And she will be able to demonstrate to the public, with that videotape, that if someone in that room needs to have their head examined, it isn’t Marine Le Pen.

Terry Gain says
Ezra Levant asked that he be allowed to videotape his hearing before the Canadian Human Rights commission for criticizing Islam. His request was granted and he demonstrated that the CHRC was a kangaroo court. This led to the repeal of section 13 of the Human Rights Act, the law which Ezra was alleged to have broken.

Yes–this was a real victory for freedom of speech.
At great cost, though–Levant had to shut down his publication, the Western Standard.

Jackie Rozell says
All the verses suggested here, the fact that Mohammad consummated the marriage to a nine year old when he was in his fifties, has been told and re-told over and over again. The atrocities committed by Muslims in Europe and even in America have been told; the public appears not to care or not to believe. They seem to want to accept American and European politician’s tall tales that Muslims who have come to our countries are “not like that” because they can’t face the fact that they are, indeed, just like “that.” They don’t know what to do about it so they do nothing and pretend it doesn’t exist. Apathy will defeat us until the last moment when we have to defend ourselves to the death.
b.a. freeman says
i fear that U are correct, Jackie. everybody always assumes that because neither the media nor celebrities are raising a hue and cry about islam, it must be safe; thus, when the same actually come out and *say* that islam is safe, their assumptions are confirmed (without evidence, of course, but as we have recently seen, evidence – or the lack thereof – means nothing in the u.s.).
although this is partly the fault of the media, who spent *decades* cultivating a myth of unbiased reporting, it is mostly the fault of the hard-core left, who have been manipulating the fools in the media ever since the bolshevik revolution. they are simply reaping the rewards of their propaganda efforts.
thus, there is indeed apathy, but it is informed by the lies of the left.

Truly great article!
Yes, she should request that the entire interview with a psychiatrist (s) be videotaped. She should also demand a copy that she could post on YouTube. She has the right to release her own medical records.
She also has the right to be accompanied by another person of her choice. One of the Jihad Watch feature article writers either Robert, Hugh, Christine, Andrew, or Jamie – or someone local who is well-versed would be extremely helpful!
The psychiatrist (s) would not stand a chance…
b.a. freeman says
besides insisting that a videotaped record be made, she should also insist that somebody of *her* choice be allowed to record it *in addition* to those the State selects; furthermore, she should insist that at least one group that hates her *and* one that supports her also be allowed to record everything. with so many copies of the interview coming from so many viewpoints, the leftist State psychiatrist (not to mention her opponents) would have a really hard time trying to claim that something was cut out …

All of the European political entourage, with the exception of Victor Orban, should not only have their heads examined but should be locked up immediately, most of all Merkel with her behind kissers and Macron, Soros baby that he is. There will be state elections in Bavaria and Hesse and it doesn’t look good for Merkel and her followers. Nex May are Euopean elections and that should mark the turn around, or so I hope.

It seems odd that George Soros has a self-admitted messianic complex and yet Marine Le Pen is the one they want to undergo a psychiatric evaluation while Soros would seem to be the more likely candidate for the evaluation.

Now you know why politicians and MSM kowtow to Soros and seek to lock up Le Pen. One has truth, the other has money.

Yep. MSM and Soros represent the globalist puppet-masters. Le Pen represents the truth. That is why she must be silenced. They thought she would give up after what they did to her in 2017, but they were mistaken. The attack on her daughter a couple of days ago was another warning.
Walter Sieruk says
Just look are all the wonders that the religion of Islam has given to France by believers in Islam with all their jihad-minded Islamic zeal .As observed in Jihadist/Muslims in those brutal murderous Islamic terror attacks of Charlie Hebdo and then later those jihad ISIS attack in Paris, France, on Bastille Day July 14, 2016 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.
[1] THE ISIS CRISIS by Charles Dyer Page 44
Walter Sieruk says
“Shame” on Marine Le Pen, maybe the Left Wing has a point about her being “crazy.” After all, how could she not like Islam with all the fruits of that religion as shown by by some Muslims in France. For example, Islam inspired that jihad -minded Muslin In Nice France to engage in that jihad terror truck attack. That Islamic terror attack, like the others jihad attack in France, was vicious, malicious and murderous. At first that jihadist opened fired into a group of people and then he plowed into and through, with a large truck, a crowd of people. In that deadly Islamic terror attack in Nice it was so awful and hideous that one witness, just after that Islamic terror attack, described the scene as “bodies everywhere.” Another wittiness said “I was standing in blood, It’ everywhere.” This Islamic jihadist attack in Nice resulted in 84 murdered and over 200 injured. This violent and heinous murderous action of Islamic violence is based on the violence and killing that is part of the doctrines of the Koran, as some call Islam’s “holy book” the Qur’an . To give only a few of many example of this from the Koran is Sura 2:191 which instructs “Kill the disbelievers wherever you fine them.” Likewise, the Koran also teaches “Whenever you encounter the unbeliever’s strike of their heads, until you make a great slaughter among them…” Sura 47:4. Let’s face it , using a firearm and a truck can sure make a greater “slaughter among them” then a sword can . In addition, that jihad –minded Muslim also died in the brutal and deadly Islamic attack. This too is Koranic based. For the Koran instructs “The believers fight in Allah’s Cause, they slay and are slain, they kill and are killed.” Sura 9:111. So it’s not wise to be taken in as in fool as or snowed , by the many apologists for Islam who make the false claim that “Islam is a peaceful religion that was hijacked by criminal for politics” That is a lame attempt to hide as in cover up the violent and deadly essence of that religion which is Islam.
Walter Sieruk says
The first paragraph of this top main JihadWatch article has mention of those Islamic terror attacks in Paris in which 130 people were killed.” That tern “were killed” as all the readers of this site know, or should know, really means’brutally and viciously murdered by those jihadist/Muslims..’ Those cruel malicious and murderous Islamic terror jihad attacks in the city of Paris, on July 14, 2016, is because of those jihad-minded Muslim males who are so extremely deluded and irrational because they really believed in the nonsensical , strange and far –fetched doctrine contained in the Koran, of sex-filled paradise with black eye- houris, virgins, in it for the male Muslim who dies as a “martyr” for the cause of Islam fighting in the jihad. As, this bizarre Islamic doctrine of a houris -filled place is found in the Koran in, for example, 4:54. 55:56. 78:31. So this odd and outlandish Koranic doctrine inspired many young Muslims males to commit many horrendous, ruthless, heartless and murderous actions of jihad violence. Those vicious jihadists’ massacres that occurred in Paris was most wicked and hideous. That extreme deadly evil caused by those jihadist/Muslims with their firm but blind unquestioning belief in the weird and false doctrine from the Koran of such a houris, filled paradise that had the outcome of mass murder and chaos in the city of Paris. This is a strong reminder of the wise statement written by the French philosopher, Voltaire, who wrote “As long as men continue to believe in absurdities they will continue to commit atrocities.”

Marine Le Pen: She’s Not the Crazy One
……………..
So true, Mr. Fitzgerald. Fine article.
tim gallagher says
This suggestion of a psychiatric examination for Marine Le Pen brought to my mind the way, in the old Soviet Union, that political dissidents were locked up in psychiatric wards. In a western nation such as France, where freedom to tell and show the truth (as in the images Le Pen was showing) should be one of the most fundamental of values, Le Pen is being considered possibly mentally ill. It is bizarre and sickening what is going on in some of the supposedly civilised western nations these days. This determination to not face up to the unpalatable truth, what Robert Spencer often calls wilful blindness, about Islam’s nature is pathetic and dangerous.
Indiana Tom says
see my post below. agree.
Guy Forester says
The UK and EU governments are actually acting out the same way, or very close to it, as if these were third world muslim countries.
There, if you are not muslim, and you are accused by a muslim of something, the police get called and you get arrested. You then get taken to jail for awhile. There is no writ of habeas corpus, so unless you have big money and some political clout backing you, you sit there in a hell hole until the judge sees fit to hear your case. Unfortunately, regardless of gender, expect to get invasive examinations while there. If you need to ask what I mean by this, you will not understand the answer.
Finally you get to see the judge. Oh, did I forget to tell you that you do not go to a sharia based judge for a determination of guilt or innocence, presentation of evidence or witnesses to support you? The mere fact that you were accused by a muslim and arrested are PROOF of your guilt. So, you are there to find out what your punishment will be. Oh, and forget time served as counting toward your sentence.
Is it not interesting that the Kavanaugh inquisition, I mean hearings, worked in the same manner? According to the left, if you are a conservative, a mere accusation is all that is needed to confirm that one is guilty of a crime and is unfit for any kind of important position in life. Even if that “crime” could not be substantiated by any so called witnesses. This is exactly the way Stalin, Mao, Hitler, and Tojo ran their little paradises.
Malcolm Jackson says
Thank Goodness Nigel Farage is no longer leader of UKIP.
Farage told activists that the party was right to oppose Islamic extremism “but if dealing with Islamic fundamentalism becomes a battle between us and the entire religion, I’ll tell you the result: we’ll lose. We will simply lose.”
Adding: “We absolutely have to get that Muslim majority living in many of our towns and cities on our side, more attuned to Western values than some pretty hardline interpretations of the Qur’an.”

So it’s not a case of WHAT is being said, but WHO is saying it, and WHO else decides which people are allowed to have a say and which people aren’t. And it’s the ‘who else’ that we should be interested in, because it’s these characters who that seem to have given themselves the right to act as censors and dictate what is being published or broadcast on the official media, and therefore control the population’s thinking – which is not far removed from brain-washing. That’s the stuff of totalitarian dictatorships, not a free democratic society, and the best one can do to justify this sort of thing might be situations where ‘white lies’ (that’s an old English idiom meaning ‘well-meaning untruths’ by the way, not some concocted racist BLM catchphrase) can be shown to be served by shielding people from facts that might have avoidable negative consequences. We had quite a lot of this sort of thing in the UK during WW2, for obvious reasons, and it must have paid off, because it helped to finish Hitler off. However, what ‘negative consequences’ are being avoided by attempting to stifle Marine Le Pen? Or dragging Nick Griffin into a kangaroo court when he exposed the muslim grooming gangs in Keighley, UK? Or attempting to imprison a prospective UK MP when he publicly quoted Churchill’s somewhat uncomplimentary assessment of islam? Or attempting to shield muslim serial gang-rapists from public scrutiny by means of crudely-concocted culture-assassination smoke-screens through vicious, destuctive witch-hunt campaigns against respected UK celebrities? None of this ever helped anyone by guarding them from any negative consequences; on the contrary, it was designed to PROMOTE highly negative consequences to innocent citizens through the suppression of news and deliberate spreading of misinformation, which in turn seems to have enabled the perpetrators of all these on-going atrocities and their cronies to carry on unabated. So who exactly are the ‘who’ that are responsible for all this, and why are they being allowed to continue their near-criminal activities and not being exposed?
Panmelia says
Marine Le Pen is right to refuse to participate in such an absurd and insulting ‘assessment’. It won’t matter if it is taped, recorded, minuted or witnessed by a high court judge, the traitors of France will find a way to manipulate matters to her disadvantage simply because they ARE traitors to everything we hold dear in European democracies. Their treachery knows no bounds because they are the Leftist allies of islam, intent on destroying our nations, our freedoms, our history, our lives unless we submit. Of course, if islam succeeded in conquering Europe, the idiotic Leftist stooges would be the first to find themselves at the ‘mercy’ of sharia law. But it won’t succeed because if push comes to shove, we’ll give our traitor leaders the farewell meted out to the Ceaucescus by the Romanians and fight to the death for freedom. Better dead than muslim.

If lawyers use the HUMAN RIGHTS CODES, SPEECH CODES and laws that PROHIBIT THE PROMOTION OF GENOCIDE, then Islam can be defeated.
ISLAM PROMOTES GENOCIDE, and so, Islam is illegal in most modern countries.
