French Man Sentenced To Two Years In Prison For Visiting Pro-ISIS Websites (theverge.com)
According to French media, a court in the department of Ardeche on Tuesday sentenced a 32-year-old man in France to two years in prison for repeatedly visiting pro-ISIS websites -- even though there was no indication he planned to stage a terrorist attack. Police raided his house and found the man's browsing history. They also found pro-ISIS images and execution videos on his phone, personal computer, and a USB stick, an ISIS flag wallpaper on his computer, and a computer password that was "13novembrehaha," referencing the Paris terrorist attacks that left 130 people dead. Slashdot reader future guy shares with us an excerpt from The Verge's report: In court, the man argued that he visited the sites out of curiosity. "I wanted to tell the difference between real Islam and the false Islam, now I understand," he said, according to FranceBleu. But the man reportedly admitted to not reading other news sites or international press, and family members told the court that his behavior had recently changed. He became irritated when discussing religion, they said, and began sporting a long beard with harem pants. A representative from the Ardeche court confirmed to The Verge that there was no indication that the man had any plans to launch an attack. In addition to the two-year prison sentence, he will have to pay a 30,000 euros (roughly $32,000) fine.
1984 was made about a Collectivist (Leftist) dystopia. And Islamic dystopia would be worse. But the funny thing is, the people who keep bringing up '1984' to protest the takedown of jihadis don't understand that the jihadis were imported by the Collectivists so they could implement 1984. The solution is to stop the importation of jihadis and publically declare that Sharia is political and Islam is Fiction (based on the archeological record, which PROVE that Islam's claims about its origins cannot be true) - yet the Left not only does neither of this things, it actively persecutes those that point this out.
So quit deflecting from the jihad with the Cultural Marxist Critical Theory that uses the spectre of '1984' to slow down those who would actually defeat the jihad. Do you not understand that your bringing up 1984 is helping to being 1984 about ? think about it - because you are using 1984 to undermine the Classic Liberals (Individualists of the Limited Government political Right) who want to prevent 1984 AND Sharia supremacism.
1) no valid crime (in my opinion) was committed
Being a fake "French" (fake because a real French can not be an African/Asian Muslim... despite what some stupid people may claim...) that glorifies Muslims that kill French people IS A VALID CRIME - if France does not currently have any effective special laws against such fake "French" people, can use some general law that forbits even real French people to glorify killings.
2) it's a two year sentence, besides pissing off a bunch of people, what purpose does this serve?
Making clear to any real French that he needs some effective special law that forbits any fake "French"?
You can't change a person's ideologies by imprisoning them, not without brainwashing them. This seems like the wrong way to address these problems. Imprisoning and fining people for their thoughts and beliefs is likely to cause more people to think this way, rather than deter it.
I agree - that is why we need to stop acting like Muslims are, or can ever be, Europeans, and start sending them back where they came from or where they claim they want to be: in their Muslim lands...
