“They will not silence me,” says Isabelle Surply.
But they’ll keep trying. If they do not win in the courts, they’ll smear her as a racist, bigoted “Islamophobe.” Clueless and short-sighted Leftists will eagerly pile on.
“Loire: an elected official denounces anti-Western remarks in a sermon, the council of Muslim worship files a complaint,” translated in “Loire : une élue dénonce des propos anti-occidentaux dans un prêche, le conseil du culte musulman porte plainte,” Valeurs Actuelles, February 26, 2022 (thanks to Medforth):
“They will not silence me.” This was the reaction of Isabelle Surply, RN councillor of Saint-Chamond and regional councillor of the Loire department, after learning of her summons to the Vallée-du-Gier commissariat on March 4, resulting from a complaint filed last October by the Loire department’s Muslim cultural council, reports France Bleu on Friday February 25. She is being sued for “public defamation based on origin, ethnicity, race or religion” with respect to acts dating back to the Eid festival in July 2021. At the time, in a series of tweets, the politician denounced what she considered anti-Western messages in a sermon by an imam at the Attaqwa mosque in her city.
“She assured that she would actively continue her “daily fight against political Islam and the Islamization of our communities.”
The Rassemblement National MP is particularly astonished by this summons, also because the speech of the imam of the mosque in Saint-Chamond had been condemned by the prefect of the Loire department and the Minister of the Interior, Gérald Darmanin. The latter had even called for the imam’s removal. “I am forced to organise my defence by using the assistance of my lawyer, even though I was only doing my job as an elected representative, citizen, mother and wife,” the councillor complained.

Quote: “They will not silence me,” says Isabelle Surply.
That quote typifies the attitude that is apparently growing in France. Ordinary French people are reportedly fed up with radical Islam, and fed up with problems they have experienced with Muslim employees, with Muslim customers, with Muslim students and with Muslim tenants.
Wherever the secular French have interacted with Muslims, ordinary French people see that many Muslims are playing games with them, breaking their contracts, using taqiyya and generally being ‘difficult’ in ways French people would generally avoid.
The rubber meets the road in these every day social exchanges in which Muslims show their supremacist and jihadic tendencies. I call this CIVILIZATIONAL and SOCIAL jihad.
mortimer says
The Koran has 164 jihad verses that call for warfare against non-Muslims. Large percentages of the Islamic primary source texts involve jihadic warfare against disbelievers, so whenever these texts are quoted or discussed in a mosque, they may be understood as SOLICITATIONS TO COMMIT SEDITION against France. And arguably, undermining non-Muslim societies is the main purpose of the Islamic source texts.
-51% of the primary Islamic source texts are about politics, about 18% is about religion and the rest is about Mohammed.
-328,000 words in the Islamic trilogy devoted to political violence, almost all against non-Muslims
-9% of the Koran and 31% of Islam’s primary trilogy is about Holy War on all non-Muslims
Much of what Muslims hear in the mosques will be highly seditious, because the primary texts are seditious.

Good for Isabelle Surply

The Muslems have been slapped down two times, but theycomed back a third time. Maybe the Frenh courts wilk chstise the Muslem council and protect her freedom of speech. Ken

“radical Islam”?
Explain how that differs from regular Islam.
John Allan says
Difficult – nay, impossible – to be racist, where criticism of a RELIGION is concerned!
And few in the civilised world have any doubts about Islam, and its followers’ commitment to trying to Islamacise same civilised world!
PRCS says
“Speaking to the Le Progres website, Ahamada said some of the statements and verses in the sermon were taken and used out of context.”
As the French (true French people, of course) might say: but of course!

Death to islam.

Michael Copeland says
Unfortunately a great many in the civilised world have no knowledge of Islam’s aims, and are wilfully deaf. They do not want to hear anything negative, and are not interested in religion. It is an uphill battle to alert them to the danger.
Dave says
The duplicity here is amazing. They are accusing her of “public defamation based on origin, ethnicity, race or religion” when that is EXACTLY what the imam did when he spewed anti-Western messages in a sermon. Perhaps she should enact proceedings against him….
