Want to see the future of this country by 2030? Look to both the UK (who crimizlizes people for meme) and now France who are criminalizing critics of Islam, but not the actual rioters burning shit down all over the country.
France’s cities are burning. For weeks, their populace has been terrorized by so-called protesters, who are smashing store windows, lighting cultural landmarks on fire, and assaulting citizens who stand up to them.
And yet the French legal system is spending its time charging writers for having an opinion about such behavior.
On Nov. 10, iconic French novelist Michel Houellebecq was charged with hate speech for comments made four years ago in a 2022 interview with Front Populaire in which he criticized Islam and expressed concerns about mass immigration into France.
