France: Hate crime case dropped against teen who received death threats for criticizing Islam

Feb 7, 2020 9:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

“French prosecutors have dropped a potential hate crime case against a French teen named Mila who received death threats after she criticised Islam online.”

Mila said nothing that targeted Muslims as a whole. She merely expressed her views about Islamic doctrine, which she is allowed to do according to the constitution of France.  Her tormentors are the ones who should be sought out and penalized. The West is sinking deeper into dhimmitude. No religion has any issue with taking criticism except Islam, and that in itself is very telling.

“Hate Case Dropped Against Teen Who Criticised Islam and Got Death Threats,” by Chris Tomlinson, Breitbart, February 2, 2020:

French prosecutors have dropped a potential hate crime case against a French teen named Mila who received death threats after she criticised Islam online.

The Vienne public prosecutor dropped the investigation for “hate provocation” against the 16-year-old, stating that the investigation into the motive and context of her words “revealed no element likely to characterize this as a criminal offence”, France Info reports.

The investigation began after Mila had made a post on social media platform Instagram earlier this month in which she made several remarks critical of Islam and saw a massive backlash from Muslims in France, including several death threats.

During an argument with another user, she said, “I hate religion. The Koran is . . . full of hate. There is only hate in it. Islam is a shit religion. That’s what I think.”

According to The Times, the teen saw 200 hateful messages per minute and was forced to leave school and be placed under police protection for her own safety.

The issue has caused controversy across the political spectrum in France, with left-wing feminists defending Mila, who is a lesbian, and populist National Rally leader Marine Le Pen also coming out in support of the teen.

“We might find [the girl’s comments] vulgar, but we can’t accept the fact that some people sentence her to death for that in France in the 21st century,” Le Pen said.

The prosecutor’s office has also stated they are investigating the various death threats and other posts made against Mila.

The affair is just the latest clash between Islam and France’s secular society in recent years….

    “with left-wing feminists defending Mila”

    From what I’ve read, that’s not quite been the case… Even an organisation devoted to protecting women from harassment (from the usual suspects) couldn’t bring themselves to support this girl.

    And this, in spite of her “attack” on the religion coming after she was told that “Allah would have her burn in hell” for being a lesbian… (Now, which rebellious teenager wouldn’t react like her, after hearing something like that?)

    • Michael Garant says

      Feb 7, 2020 at 11:06 am

      You are right, left wing feminists have not defended her at all. If anything they chastise her for her comments.

        Feminists have given Islam a free ride for too long. Shouldn’t they say openly that Islam is the most misogynistic religion? Because it is.

        • Michael Garant says

          Feb 7, 2020 at 1:34 pm

          In an intelligent world that would be the case…..but in the new feminist left world they are mentally affected with a derangement syndrome that pushes them to defend the misogynistic sect above all intelligent considerations.

          I think liberals have dug themselves a hole so big that feminists are falling into it. I don’t know where or when it started but at some point criticism of Islam became a political and ideological test for a person’s liberal credentials. At that point the definition of racism broadened to include hatred based on another person’s religious “choices”. And criticism itself had a new contextual meaning. In the context of Islam it was now hate speech.

          So, after 9/11, liberals decided that the minority points accorded Muslims just for being non-Christian and non-white added up to more than the points taken away for everything else they do. This is how they sleep at night and never have the nagging question “am I a fraud?”

      • Carol the 1st says

        Feb 10, 2020 at 1:23 am

        Yes, that “left-wing feminists defending Mila” was a disconcerting note. Perhaps a stray but not the big mob surely. I wonder how Chris Tomlinson defends that statement.

      Not just “rebellious teenager”, but anyone who knows they have done nothing wrong/illegal and are proud of who and what they are.
      I feel the main point here is that this lass has been attacked for stating what she THINKS, not what she has done or incited others to do, but simply for giving her opinion.
      Given that French prosecutors were investigating is a dangerous situation.
      Does this mean that free thought is now a crime? Or is it only a crime when the bad thoughts are about a belief system that wants to enslave us and tells everyone that it’s a good thing to murder us because we are not one of them.?

      • Carol the 1st says

        Feb 10, 2020 at 12:44 pm

        …but, but…aren’t you disparaging Justice Minister Belloubet’s scold to Mila:

        “her remarks about Islam were ‘clearly an infringement on freedom of conscience’”.

    The world is in an unacceptable situation. Your government monitors what you post on internet websites and throws you in jail for things that you post. The novel “1984” was a warning that is being ignored. Thought control is here, with Big Brother listening to your every word.

      A little O/T but on Good Morning Britain some 20’ish female from PETA was arguing we should not call animals “pets” (demeaning) nor use old phrases (tended to infer less human qualities?). Piers Morgan got on her case by complaining about PET being used in the PETA name and asked if we could still “pet” our animals.
      It was absolutely fascinating to see the quiet self-assurance of the little nincompoop (who had no sane replies to Piers). We need to watch their faces more and get past all the silly topics they seize upon.

    Are the Authorities going after the ones that made the death threats? Brave lass. Only speaking the Truth & saying what anybody with 2 working brain cells can figure out. A pity our “Leaders” have not that number!, Like their Mohammedan friends. Before folk get on at me, from UN sources Muslim world IQ’s are on average 20points less than the Western World & East Asia. This puts them in the “reatarded” group. It’s a fact.

    muslims don’t care if you insult allah their one shinned,two right handed Arab god.
    muslims certainly complain if “islam is insulted” but watch how..
    muslims go insane when their prophet muhammed is insulted.

    It seems muhammed is in fact,the god of islam:

    “There is no god but muhammed and allah is simply his convenient sock-puppet”

    Somewhere out there right now,it could be in the desert,it could be in the mountains,it could even come from a disgruntled muslim,it could even be a scuba diver under the seabut somewhere out there amongst the teeming masses on this planet..islam is {probably} being insulted:how will the French prosecutors be dealing with that?Will they be searching the whole planet to prosecute the offenders?

    “islam was insulted”
    What?Do you mean somebody insulted a NOUN?

    • Carol the 1st says

      Feb 10, 2020 at 1:41 am

      I guess “islam” is a euphemism for the hysterical mimickers of Mohammed?

      Behead those who go around with placards threatening to “behead infidels who insult islam”.

      Round them up and “off with their heads” for insulting us infidels.

        Feb 7, 2020 at 11:44 am

        FYI, you are trying to be facetious, but it is not helpful to our cause to advocate arbitrary measures against the rule of law, and our opponents will use such comments against us. It is extremely unwise to make such statements. The Couterjihad is a HUMAN RIGHTS movement … and NOT a human WRONGS movement.

        Muslims are human beings who have the wrong information. We must convince them that the Koran is a manmade fabrication and they will abandon Islam immediately.

        • FYI says

          Feb 7, 2020 at 12:03 pm

          Not all muslims “will abandon islam immediately” when they see how false the koran is.

          That is not realistic alas.

          As for you saying “we must convince them”:many don’t WANT to be convinced.

          Good luck with your “deprogramming” fantasy.

          {I am entitled to be facetious and Juvenalian if I wish:that’s your problem not mine!I disagree that it is unwise:it’s not my fault you do not have a sense of humor now is it?}

          They have been indoctrinated since they were babies. They also haven’t proven to be the most reasonable people on earth. On top of that there’s the fact that they have been marrying their cousins for centuries. All this equates to them not being very easy to reason with and having very poor impulse control. So when you try to convince them that the Koran is a manmade fabrication they may just accuse you of insulting Islam and chop off your head immediately.

          I favor the “rule of law” but if time is pressing and someone comes after me or mine with a machete in hand I’ll be realistic and plug him twixt the eyes – and then wander off attending to the everyday work of the world.

    A video from France circulated for years on anti-jihad websites.
    A pretty French girl about the same age as this one was walking through a schoolyard after classes were over for the day.
    A hulking black boy who looked 30 years old kept blocking her path, after she evaded him a few times he blocked her path a last time and slapped her on the ear as hard as he could.
    There were a few captions for it I remember, one was “Muslim Enrichment”
    I don’t blame French girls one bit for resenting Muslim immigrants declaring ownership of them because they are Kaffir or whatever the term is. I’m sure more than a few wish they had a redneck American Dad with a scattergun ready to take care of business.

      I doubt they give a rat’s ass if any nasty donkeys think they’re the Apple of the Universe’s Eye. We can surely create effective self-defense weapons for women and relax our laws if the poor dears are forced to use them so they can just go home and attend to their lives and their children.

    Sixteen year old Milan writes “Islam is a shit religion” and immediately, in response, receives 200 hateful messages per minute, some of which were psychopathic threats of murdering and/or raping her. These Muslim posts calling out for her rape and murder for her insulting Islam perfectly prove her point. The only way to judge a “religion” is by the actions of its adherents, in this case Muslims, who have proven once again the depravity within themselves and within the teachings of their so-called “Religion of Peace”.

    Feb 7, 2020 at 11:39 am

    Questions for the French Leftards: WHO ARE THE REAL ‘HATERS’ HERE? Mila certainly didn’t make death threats. The Islamist fanatics whom she criticized made the death threats, because they’re in a DEATH CULT.

    Mila may not be very articulate … using raw emotion and expletives … but Mila’s feeling that Islam is absurd and dangerous is accurate.

    If a French teenager said the same things on social media about Christianity or Judaism(“Christianity is a shit religion”), I doubt the French authorities would have shown the slightest interest. The west does not even realize it is slowly surrendering its hard-won freedoms to Islam.

    If she hates an ideology that hates her for what she is and commands that she be killed for that I don’t see a problem. Her hatred would and should be justified. The authorities appear to hate her for hating the haters. I really hate the people responsible for that. Good lord. The world has gone crazy.

        Don’t become unscrewed in the nuthouse :-).
        We have evolved to consider a limited time scale. Very fast events and relatively slow events (demographic change) seem to elide the perception of most people. As I see it, we cannot win by persuading people that their immediate concerns are the relevant standard. That’s what Sweden seems to have done.

    France: Hate crime case dropped against teen who received death threats for criticizing Islam

    Well, that’s *something*, I suppose. Note that there has been no case against the Muslim who crudely propositioned Mila and threatened and insulted her when she refused.

    Every time I see a story like this, I remember the Canadian Muslim for whom the greatest day in his life was killing an American solider with a hand grenade.
    He was repeatedly feted and hosted by the CBC (Our state propaganda network), and the government paid him 10 million dollars.
    Then you get french teenagers raked over the coals, doubtless having paid lawyer fees, for telling the truth at she understood it. In some ways, Canada is more advanced and progressive than Europe. Here we not only jail people for free speech, we pay terrorists for their evil deeds.

    “ No religion has any issue with taking criticism except Islam” – rubbish. Criticise Judaism in any shape or form & you’re immediately shouted down & reported for anti-Semitism. When it comes to religious inflexibility & intolerance of criticism, Islam & Judaism are as bad as each other. And people are sick of both.

    • gravenimage says

      Feb 8, 2020 at 11:21 pm

      People criticize Judaism all the time.

      And Jews are not murdering Gentiles as Muslims are murdering Infidels. I guess The Turul doesn’t care about that…

      Feb 10, 2020 at 2:34 am

      People criticize “Jews” or Jewish “tropes” (in any shape or form?) and know little of the Jewish religion. The Jewish religion is not malignant and therefore few of us bother to study it. Islam is an entirely different can of worms – so much so that we’re still wiping our eyes in stunned incomprehension.

  16. Giacomo Latta says

    Feb 8, 2020 at 9:48 am

    Maybe now France will concentrate on ”hate acts” like the burning of churches, the desecration of synagogues, the murder of aged Jewish women, and the like where no speech is heard other than Allahu Akbar.

    Feb 10, 2020 at 1:00 am

    If a 16 year old girl requires police protection because she was getting 200 death threats a minute due to a comment online criticizing Islam, I have a feeling the country is lost and it’s only a matter of time before the sh!t hits the fan and you have mohammedans running amok, beheading people in the streets, and deteriorating into a full scale civil war. History has proven time and time again that countries with a moslem minority that steadily increased to a 100% moslem country always had a period of genocide that killed off millions of non-moslems. They’ve got two choices either move away or arm themselves and prepare for battle.
