“He also accused ministers of being fearful of upsetting France’s five million Muslim citizens, claiming their inaction amounted to a betrayal of values laid down by Voltaire, the 18th-century champion of free speech.”
Of course. The Leftist political and media elites are not going to anger their allies in their grand project of destroying the West. And as for Voltaire, Leftists hate all religions except Islam, which with its commands to obey even tyrants and accept all events as the will of Allah coalesces nicely with the Left’s totalitarian agenda.
“France’s left-wing elite are accused of cowardice for failing to support 16-year-old girl facing death threats after she insulted Islam online,” by Luke Andrews, Mailonline, February 1, 2020:
France’s left-wing elite have been accused of cowardice for failing to support a 16-year-old girl who has faced death threats after she insulted Islam online.
The girl, known as Mila, said Islam ‘is a s*** religion’ and the Koran is ‘full of hate’ in an outburst online after she repeatedly rebuffed a Muslim’s advances.
She has been removed from her sixth-form college in Lyon, south-east France, by police ‘for her own safety’ and has faced a torrent of insults and threats to rape and kill her.
The teenager’s lawyer, Richard Malka, told The Times that her plight has been completely ignored by the left, which would usually leap to her defence.
‘It is the left that traditionally defends secularism in this country,’ he said. ‘It saddens me that it has not done so in this case.’
‘She has been stuck at home for two weeks without being able to go to school. She is only a teenager and the sky has fallen on her head.
‘No human rights association has protested or expressed solidarity with the girl whose life has suddenly been plunged into hiding.’
He also accused ministers of being fearful of upsetting France’s five million Muslim citizens, claiming their inaction amounted to a betrayal of values laid down by Voltaire, the 18th-century champion of free speech.
Mila told French publication Bellica how she feels ‘the whole of France wants me dead’ after no one stood up for her following the attacks, and as though she can ‘no longer set foot in my high school, and I can’t even change my high school’.
‘I am not racist, not at all,’ she continues. ‘You cannot be racist towards a religion. I said what I thought, you will not make me regret it. There are still people who will get excited, I clearly don’t give a damn, I say what I want, what I think.’
In the aggravating video, uploaded to her Instagram profile adorned with LGBT flags, Mila also says she hates all forms of religion. She uses the profile to publish videos of herself singing.

This does not suprise me. The plight of the girls in the UK as young as 9 years of age sexually and physically abused by Muslim gangs even with police and local Council knowledge has never been condemned by the Left. They not only have remained silent to this day, they are willing to support a minority group regardless of what that minority, in this case Islam, does. J

The people who are guilty of cowardice are those who refuse to give support to this young girl against those Islamic bullies with Islamic hate who threaten the life of this young person.

“He also accused ministers of being fearful of upsetting France’s five million Muslim citizens..” and the 500,000 to 1 Million illegals?
Ahh, France, we fondly remember the days and nights we walked her streets, viewed her beauty from the Eiffel Tower, visited her museums, cathderals, cafes, listened to gypsy bands, bought in the markets, tasted her wine – now, never to return as she slowly sinks, like the Titanic, as her elites shuffle the deck chairs, and sit comfortably, listening to the unique voice of Edith Piaf.

I have recently been to Lyon and I can say that since you arrive at the airport you realize that you are not in a European city (geographically yes, obviously, but ethnically and culturally of course not anymore)
Jayell says
Take a trip to London’s Heathrow Airport, then compare notes. You might find yourself faced with a similar scenario.

Islam desserves all insults of this world
And cowards ( leftists, intellectuals, journalists, … ) prefer to bend the knee, and be blind in front of this new dark age totalitarism
mila must be proud to say what is really islam : an enormous shit, as we can notice it through all the shitholes where islam is imposing its darkness.

“Mila also says she hates all forms of religion.” Any religion is man’s attempt to please God, or whatever god they happen to worship. That’s not what the gospel is about. Jesus said that we are to love God and love one another. To be a Christian or a follower of Christ, we should try to emulate His life while He was here on earth. Jesus had an intimate relationship with His Father, God. And that is what we are called to do. God wants a personal relationship with each and every one of us. Our customs, our traditions, our ceremonies – none of that is important to God; no matter how sanctimonious or righteous they appear to be. All of it is simply the ‘ways of man’ and has no bearing on God’s love towards us. God, who is the Father of Jesus and every true believer is a God of Love, a God of Truth and a God of Life. Contrasted to the god in the Koran who is a god of hate, a god of deceit and a god of death. Many who profess to be Christians know that Jesus Christ was born and died to save us from our sins. They know He was resurrected and ascended into heaven. Probably most also know that He will return to restore creation to its original pristine state of glory. But my question is, “Do you know Jesus?” or do you just know about Jesus.
DHazard says
The silence of the left isn’t just deafening, it’s also mentally aberrant. I wonder if that kind of person even makes up for it with anonymous donations to charities that, for instance, help end the practice of FGM, which is in a way the hallmark crime that they choose to ignore or explain away. It combines misogyny, child abuse, children’s rights and religious crimes. If a person advocates for a 9 year old’s right to choose sexual reassignment then why are they on a another planet when it comes to Muslims & FGM?
Battle says
I disagree with Mila on two issues.
That said.
Liberty. Equality. Fraternity.
Liberte. Egalite. Fraternate.
French main stream media should be screaming, Liberte. Egalite. Fraternite.

I’m gonna guess that’s not a girl.

What? Now you’re insulting the victims of Islam?
FYI says
Why are muslims so fussy about insults to islam?
Anytime I need to use the bathroom I use an euphemism:
‘I am just going to honor allah and show my respect for islam and its prophet,peace be upon me’
James Lincoln says
Thanks, FYI, I needed that!
Jake says
I have read the same statistic – 5 million Muslims – for 20 years. There is no way it is accurate. It would not surprise me if the number is ten million, illegal and legal. France can never break out of its economic stagnation because it has imported a stagnating people. France is headed to Islamism or Civil War. The EU will not save them.
Jayell says
I wish that term ‘islamism’ could be banned. The ‘ism’ bit is entirely unnecessary. There is only one ‘islam’ and people make excuses for it at their own peril.

This young girl just spoke the truth, nothing more, nothing less. The cowards always bow down to the bullies of islam
Kerry Wade says
Muslims have no place in France; Charles Martell we need you again, they must all be driven out, no exceptions, they are the absolute filth of the earth.
Firefox says
Every passing day is one day closer to a civil war in Europe to fight for freedom on free lands against the eternal scourge of mankind – the backward barbaric hateful supremist and evil Islam. How are 1400 years, clear Islamic texts, and daily acts of terror not enough proof to progressives? The only answer, is that they want this.
Ole Pederson says
France, birthplace of the enlightenment and modern human rights, is gone.

France: Leftist elite accused of cowardice for not supporting teen girl facing death threats after insulting Islam
……………………..
For good reason. This poor young girl and her family have been thrown to the Muslim wolves by cowardly French authorities.
