France: Muslims threaten to kill Socialist mayor, Facebook says the threats don’t violate their community standards

Nov 16, 2020 9:00 am By Robert Spencer 21 Comments

A Socialist. What do you bet that Stéphane Raffali believes that Islam is a religion of peace, that “Islamophobia” is the real problem, and that “refugees” are not dangerous, but in danger, and that only “racists” oppose mass Muslim migration into France?

Yet his flirting with violation of Sharia blasphemy laws by lionizing a man who was beheaded for a Muhammad cartoon got him death threats anyway.

And Facebook refused to take down the threats, saying they didn’t violate their community standards. Facebook is increasingly evil, and increasingly open about it. Imagine if a Muslim leader had received death threats; do you think Facebook would say that those threats violated their community standards? So do I. And not only would they take them down in a hot minute; the threats would also be the occasion for screaming international headlines and searching feature pieces about the increase of “Islamophobia.” But this? Nothing.

“Essonne: the mayor of Ris-Orangis threatened with death after the tribute to Samuel Paty,” translated from “Essonne: le maire de Ris-Orangis menacé de mort après l’hommage à Samuel Paty,” by Pauline Darvey and Bartolomé Simon, Le Parisien, November 11, 2020 (thanks to Mason):

“O hateful Frenchman, you insult our prophet Muhammad, then we will tear off your impure necks…” Last Monday, barely a few hours after tribute was paid to Samuel Paty in schools, Stéphane Raffali, the socialist mayor of Ris-Orangis, discovered this threatening message posted several times and from different accounts on his Facebook page. All are accompanied by the same drawing: a man from behind, who is holding a dagger in one of his hands.

“The same morning, we went with four elected officials to the Albert-Camus school to participate in the minute of silence in tribute to this history-geography professor who was killed in Conflans-Sainte-Honorine (Yvelines),” recalls the elected official. “We then posted a little note on my Facebook page with some photos.”

“These are calls for murder”

About an hour later, four or five comments, all identical, are posted below this post. Very quickly, the mayor’s team took screenshots of these messages, before blurring the content. “They are extremely violent,” comments the city councilor. These are calls for murder. ”

The City is also reporting these comments to Facebook. The social network’s response follows suit: “We have reviewed the comment you brought to our attention and have determined that it did not go against our community standards. We will therefore not delete this comment. ”

“The inertia of Facebook is distressing,” plague Stéphane Raffalli, who filed a complaint against X on Friday. “An investigation for threats of crimes and misdemeanors on a person holding public authority has been entrusted to the Evry police station,” confirms the Evry-Courcouronnes prosecutor’s office. No action has yet been taken to protect the elected official.

“Other authorities concerned”

To spread these threats, the perpetrator probably hacked into Facebook accounts. “The holders of at least two of them contacted us very quickly to tell us that they had nothing to do with these messages,” explains Stéphane Raffalli, who denounces facts of extreme gravity.

“Especially in the current context,” he adds. It also seems important to me to make them public. All bodies that are legitimate to deal with this type of case must be seized. Next week, during the city council, the mayor will request functional protection to allow him to benefit from legal assistance.

According to a source close to the investigation, “other authorities” in Essonne have received similar threatening messages on Facebook since the attack on Samuel Paty. “This attack stirred several accounts responsible for threats”, adds this source.

200 investigations opened

The same day that Stéphane Raffalli received the threats, a teacher and counselor of the Communist opposition from Bezons, in the Val-d’Oise, also received an identical message, commenting on a Facebook post where she expressed her “questions and misunderstandings” linked to the health crisis, and her shock of the death of Samuel Paty.

Since the beheading of this professor, these facts are on the rise. At the national level, nearly 200 investigations were opened during the last week of October for making excuses for terrorism, death threats, insults or incitement to hatred in connection with this assassination.

    Hypocrisy! Facebook has banned a number because they have POSTED and quoted the hate mail death threats they have received from Muslims.

    By posting hate mail threats from Muslims, Facebook is saying that true news about Muslims makes people dislike them … so you may not reveal to the world when Muslims make email death threats.

    Facebook should not submit to Sharia law censorship.

      This is where the rubber meets the road for the Leftists. But if the naïve Stéphane Raffalli has any Muslim acquaintances, the Muslim will persuade him that vigilante murder has ‘nothing to do with Islam’ … even though Sharia law is clear in stating that a private Muslim may murder a blasphemer.

      Punishment of Blasphemers from Sharia manual Reliance of the Traveller’:
      “The (DHIMMI) agreement is also violated (A: with respect to the offender alone) if the state has stipulated that any of the following things break it, and one of the subjects does so anyway, though if the state has not stipulated that these break the agreement, then they do not; namely, if one of the subject people:
      -5- mentions something impermissible about Allah, the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace), or Islam.” – Reliance of the Traveller’ Chapter ‘O’ 11.10.05.

      Sharia permits anyone to kill those who verbally oppose Islam, since they are at war with Islam:

      “There is no indemnity obligatory for killing a non-Muslim (harbi) at war with Muslims.” -Reliance of the Traveller, o4.17, p.593

      “We have already discussed killing the person who, with intent, curses the Prophet, belittles him or slights him in any way. The judgement in this case is clear.” (i.e. death) – Qadhi Iyaadh in ash-Shifa, Volume No.2, Page No. 27

    Facebook and the other social media have done what the Muslims have ordered them to do. They have bowed down in willing submission. They are now promoting Sharia law and its violent implementation.

    This is very easy to solve. Simply STOP participating in Facebook. And encourage everyone you know to do the same thing. I doubt that it opting out would change their attitude, but it would hurt them financially. And THAT matters to them.

    Facebook blocked me for 30 days just because on November 12th., I commented “Muslims are the worst people on earth…..”. They said that my comment violated their community standards.

    And here you have Muslims threatening to kill a Socialist mayor and according to Facebook this treat does not violate their community standards

    Facebook censors and blocks members who speak the truth not out of hatred but personal experience they may have had like myself. I was born into a Judeo-Christian family in an islamic country. My father being Jewish had to adopt an Anglicized name “Edward” just to avoid being persecuted because the muslims in that country thought my father was Christian.

    I am a survivor of the 1971 Muslim Genocide where millions of men, women, children and even babies & toddlers were massacred. I was 15 years old at the time and I personally witnessed these tragedies including babies snatched from their mother’s arm and flipped in the air and caught at the end of a bayonet. At age 15 during that 1971 genocide, I was pushed up against the wall to be shot. That was traumatizing and I remember every horrid and haunting detail to this very day.

    Every comment I make against islam and muslims is not from hatred but from real life experiences. My comments are not life threatening to any group or individual…. it’s a message that it could happen in the U.S. and in Canada. Look at what’s happening in Europe (France, Germany, the UK etc.) …. that is just the beginning and as years go by it will gain momentum

      I am so sorry for all you have gone through. There are several posters here who have a family history of persecution by Muslims, I am glad that you survived and wherever you are now, I pray you are safe and well.

    What Cum-U-nity? Muslim community. Threatening to kill people who allow freedom of speech Muslims don’t like is not in violation of Muslim Cum-U-nity standards. Facebook either afraid of them, infiltrated by them, or making lots of money 💰 from them.

    TWITTER does the same, YOUTUBE is owned by GOOGLE,the same.

    ZUCKERBERG,owner of FACEBOOK,is a JEW. Muslims hate Jews because they are Cursed by Allah “till the DAY of RESURRECTION” in chapter 5:64.

    SOROS is a JEW,Muslims also hate Him.Soros also censors those who point out the Anti-Human Rights actions of Muslims.

    It’s very interesting that Facebook refused to consider Muslims threatening to kill someone a violation of its “community standards”. Nevertheless ,not that long ago removed my post and put me on a thirty day ban for posting on its site for posting what it viewed “hate speech” and thus a violation of its C.S.

    The fact is all I did was post an essay clearly condemning and denouncing those mullah and and imams of Iran who thoroughly brainwash impressionable young Muslims into hating Westerners so much that they want and do actually murder them, as an example I gave is those murderous jihad attacks in Paris France .

    That’s what Facebook found objectionable ,but not those hateful Muslims making death threats to a Westerner.

    I have often found it rather strange that those muslims who are screaming death to America and death to Israel, and Jews all over the World, that these morons are using Facebook to spread their message and yet Facebook is owned by an American Jewish guy that lives in America, meanwhile this Jew seems to fall over himself to defend evil posting by muslims against people like himself.
    The muslim nutcases also use Whatsapp for the same media to spread their hate and yet Whatsapp was invented by an Israeli in Tel Aviv.
    Meanwhile muslims are 100% behind George Soros.
    Nothing makes much sense anymore….. I dont use Facebook, or Twitter, or any of those other nonsense social platforms.
