The court said: “The mere reason based on the existence of acts of explicit and deliberate incitement to discrimination against women (cannot) justify the expulsion measure without seriously and manifestly disproportionate interference with his right to carry out a normal private and family life.”
Of course. Now: what about the right of the people who are victimized because of his sermons to carry out a normal private and family life?
Update on this story. “French court suspends prominent imam’s deportation,” by Shweta Desai, Anadolu Agency, August 5, 2022:
A French court on Friday suspended the expulsion of an imam accused by the Interior Ministry of disseminating anti-Semitic and anti-gender equality messages.
In its decision, the administrative court of Paris said the expulsion of Imam Hassan Iquioussen, a Moroccan national born in France, would constitute a “disproportionate attack” on his “private and family life,” his lawyer Lucie Simon shared on Twitter.
The 57-year-old imam was born in France and lives there with his family.
“The mere reason based on the existence of acts of explicit and deliberate incitement to discrimination against women (cannot) justify the expulsion measure without seriously and manifestly disproportionate interference with his right to carry out a normal private and family life,” the court said, according to a report by BFMTV news.
Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin who had ordered Iquioussen’s deportation to Morocco announced on Twitter that he would appeal against the court’s decision. He said he is “determined to fight against those who hold and disseminate anti-Semitic remarks that are contrary to equality between women and men.”
Last week, the ministry announced to remove Iquioussen from the mainland territory, and cancel his residence permit, for making anti-Semitic and “anti-women” remarks during sermons or conferences, which Iquioussen says are “baseless accusations.”…

The French are cowards. I knew they wouldn’t follow through.

Ce n’est pas nous qui décidons. The judiciary is independent in France.
mortimer says
The law should be above politics. It is for French people to choose leaders to create the law … but they voted for more of Macron.
France’s enemies are internal ones who wish to destroy freedom and human rights.

France: “I am here [in prison] to train myself in hate and terrorism. When I get out, I will kill many people because they are not good. I can recognise them”, Samir is acquitted

The judicial authority is heavily criticized and decried in France.
Wellington says
All right. So, what are the French people as a whole going to do about their inept judiciary? Anything or are they powerless?
Understand, here in America the Deep State is despised by probably at least a hundred million Americans but doing away with it is another thing, thus it is not a criticism but only a question I put to you.

Bonjour Wellington
French people are Italian people in a bad mood.” Jean Cocteau.
Do not compare France with Anglo-Saxon countries.
In most cases, we doesn’t agree on anything and everything is subject to controversy.
That being said, observers have noted that deportation may not be the solution. My understanding is that this man has formed many followers and they want to study the dossier in depth before making a decision.
As far as I know Anti-Semitic comments are punishable under the law in France and in Europe https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loi_Gayssot.

France: Court suspends deportation of prominent anti-Semitic, misogynistic imam

A poster familiar with this case said this would probably happen–I can’t recall their name right now. Disgusted but not surprised.

Judiciary has become cowards everywhere.
Fitna says
Well if its ok to incite hate and violence against Jews and women, then you live in a de facto Islamic state. Because if the law/judiciary won’t stand up for what is right, good, moral, then it is acceptable in their eyes for Muslims to go ahead and slaughter/rape people they hate.
I think we have a legit war not just against Islam, but ‘globalists/leftists’ who see absolutely nothing wrong with Muslims and their hatred of the West and our way of life.
Once again it’s the weakest, most defenseless members of society that will pay for these insane decisions. We’ll just see an endless parade of dead bodies on our tv screens with idiot policemen unable to figure out a motive why the killers always happen to be Muslims and the victims innocent Jews, women and other French citizens.
We can see this apathy and cowardice even more clearly in countries like India where the state fails to punish Muslim rapists, murderers and rioters.
This ofc just encourages Muslims even more since they’ll think Allah has made us weaker and allowed them to be ‘victorious’ over us.
If civil war eventually does come to western countries, it’ll be thanks to the traitors in power that made the wrong decisions when they had the means to stop the advance of Islam in its tracks.
Eventually people will have no other option but to take the law in their own hands and fight Islam and the state at the same time. Hopefully ofc we’ll get more opponents of Islam in power so we can make the state do our bidding instead of the red-green alliance.
VICTORMc. says
France has become a filthy little anti-Semitic dump run by Muslims basically from Algeria.
I used to be a regular visitor/spender…never again. They used to have a decent restaurant/auberge around every corner in the countryside now they have some company called Mc.Donalds.
The place has become utterly disgusting. I never dreamed I would have to say that after innumerable visits years ago.
VICTORMc. says
From the 3rd. largest Jewish population in the world from around 750000 to 500000 their Jews the educated cognoscenti & professionals have left for Israel and the US etc..
France is finished and now sends its invoices via Brussels to Berlin.
Proud Islamophobe says
I’m Jewish and I agree with the judge. Believe me, I would never defend a moslem, but a person can’t be thrown out of a country for their prejudices. How many Caucasian immigrants use the N word? How many white immigrant KKK members (or the like) use the N word and the K word? How many clubbers refer to women in a derogatory manner? Should OJ have lost his citizenship because he beats women and tells others to do so (re his exercise video)? People can’t be thrown out of a country for that. and to think that Courts can rid a country of prejudices is ridiculous. The judge is correct.
Proud Islamophobe says
and I forgot: How many black people use the K word towards Jewish people? A LOT. They can’t be sent back to Africa for that.
Lavéritétriomphera says
@Proud Islamophobe,
As far as I know the imam Hassan Iquioussen is Moroccan.
