“The EU parliament decision ‘marks the difference between those who denounce and fight Islamist fundamentalism and those who want to hide the atrocities,’ Rachline said.”
Rachline is right. The EU doesn’t want people to know about what jihadis are doing, because then they will figure out that the same things could happen in Europe. So they try to muzzle Le Pen as they continue trying to muzzle Wilders and others who tell the truth about what is happening.

“EU Parliament lifts Le Pen immunity over gruesome tweets,” by Samuel Petrequin, Associated Press, March 2, 2017:
PARIS (AP) — The European Parliament voted Thursday to lift the immunity from prosecution for French far-right leader Marine Le Pen for tweeting gruesome images of Islamic State violence, a crime that carries up to three years in prison in France.
The legislature voted by a broad majority in Brussels to clear the way for the possible prosecution of Le Pen over tweets she made in December 2015 showing executions, including the killing of American reporter James Foley by Islamic State extremists.
French prosecutors in the city of Nanterre had asked lawmakers to lift the immunity that Le Pen enjoys as a member of the European Parliament.
Le Pen, a leading candidate in this year’s French presidential election, posted her tweets in response to a journalist who drew an analogy between her anti-immigration National Front party and IS extremists. She was trying to show the difference between the two groups but the effort backfired, drawing widespread condemnation.
Le Pen took down the tweet showing the killing of Foley after his family protested, but left up another image of violence by Islamic State extremists.
Under French law, publishing violent images can be punished by up to three years in jail and a fine of 75,000 euros ($78,800).
Before the vote, Le Pen on Thursday defended her tweets, saying she just wanted to condemn the barbaric practices of IS, also known as Daesh.
“I’m a lawmaker. I’m in my role when I condemn Daesh, this is my role,” she told French TV station LCP. “And if I don’t fulfill my role, I’m worth nothing as a lawmaker. Nobody can prevent a republic’s representative from condemning Daesh’s acts of violence.”
Her campaign manager, David Rachline, denounced the lawmakers’ actions.
The EU parliament decision “marks the difference between those who denounce and fight Islamist fundamentalism and those who want to hide the atrocities,” Rachline said….
Macron said he would not comment on Le Pen’s situation, then added “fortunately our national and European institutions are not losing their common sense.”…

A puzzle about islam for everyone –
If playing football required players to murder their opponents after scoring a goal, then would football be legal? No. Likewise – If islam’s practices are illegal, then how is islam legal? Islamic law specifies executing apostates, homosexuals, adulterers et al, which is illegal. If even a single practice of official islamic law is illegal, then it renders entire islam illegal. Christian law, jewish law, and all other religions’ laws contain no illegal practices. Islamic law does. So how exactly is islam still legal in our nations?

The left does not care about legality or about Islam carrying out the left’s blood lust. What you see is exactly how the left wants it.

How do you retro-actively do that and call it legal. The left is sinking deeper and deeper into the abyss. You can’t hide the truth forever. Retro-actively making something illegal really exposes a degree of tyranny usually only seen in third world dictatorships.

The legal system and the abuse are one and the same. The legal system is the problem, not the solution.

What we see is Western Civilization and it’s traditions of Judaism, Christianity, Secularism, rationalism and science being destroyed by the left and its moslem hitmen. Realize that we are fighting for our lives and act accordingly.
Death to the EU. Death to Islam. Death to Angela Murder, Hollande, Trudeau and the other psychophants of leftism and islam.

France, Italy, get out of the EU. Bring Germany along. Do not fall for the scare mongering of left. Le Pen is not the only hope for Europe, but she is a BIG HOPE.
Europe will not be destroyed. Russia will resist. China will resist, and they are European neighbors in one way or another. Hungary, Poland, Japan,
Slovenia, Greece, Southern Sudan, and moderates will align.
History will repeat itself.

If Germany leaves the EU their cash cow is gone. Germany (its leaders anyway) does not want to leave because they get to dictate to the entire EU what to do!

Perhaps you can give me a good reason why China and Japan will be willing to defend Europe. I’m an American, sir, and I don’t give a hoot about them. Twice last century we had to pull these idiots out from their own misery. That was enough.

Resist the left. Fight for your rights. Media will not help you, us. Media covers left protest marches, but does it report activities of the “right.” By doing so, they seek to isolate, to marginalized, and by falsehood, imply that the right is disorganized and few in number.
Educate your children. Live clean. Stay healthy. Maintain dignity and civility, but resist.
The EU wants to stop Le Pen, stating it politely. France, vote right, or you shall rue the day. Wake up.

The e.u is more than desperate, they are now resorting to legislated lies to cover up crimes that are against everything the e.u and the once semi civilized nations of western europe that it is comprised of, used to stand for. This publicity is good, many western europeans tend to be a lot on the stupid side, but even the densest of them might be able to see that islam is not a nice pass time.

At the rate the leftists are gong, they will get overconfident and try something stupid, even for them, then will be a good time to grind them into the dirt.

Hopefully this move by the EU will totally backfire. People will see that the truth is being denied to them, they are being manipulated and that it is done all done for the gain of the Left. Even if it comes to court the people will swing to her (presuming she is still allowed to stand if found guilty of showing the truth).

Kick butt Marine Le Pen! You go girl! Take your country back! Tell the EU that France will not be part of the EU long enough for them to do ANYTHING to you. Get some armed body guards! If they try to arrest you, the guards will know what to do (rat-a-tat-tat) against the pu**y French or EU cops.

This type of censuring is mind boggling indeed! Someone or something behind the scenes wants to cover up the evil of Islam and destroy anyone who tries to expose it. For the life of me I can’t understand why our so called “leaders” would knowingly choose to advance the evil of Islam rather than protecting the safety and well being of the citizenry.
