French President Proposes Jail For Terrorist Website Visitors

Posted by Soulskill on from the if-it-quacks-like-a-terrorist dept.

howardd21 writes "French President Nicolas Sarkozy, who is only a month away from an election, argued that it is time to treat those who browse extremist websites the same way as those who consume child pornography. 'Anyone who regularly consults Internet sites which promote terror or hatred or violence will be sentenced to prison,' he told a campaign rally in Strasbourg, in eastern France. 'Don't tell me it's not possible. What is possible for pedophiles should be possible for trainee terrorists and their supporters, too.' Is this a good move for security, or just another step towards a totalitarian society that prohibits free expression?"

    "Liberté, égalité, fraternité". Yeah, right. France has been one of the most outrageous violators of it's own principles for a long time now whenever it comes to Muslims.

    It would also be a much nicer place without sarkozy. No wonder everyone hates france.

    And for this, slashdot will be classified as a terrorist website only so that sarkozy can nab me whenever I have the bad misfortune to somehow end up in his nation of wine soaked douchebags.

    but it is also true that France is currently being colonized by Muslims. Not only Muslims reproduce more but they also demand French people to adapt to Muslim costumes.
