Éric Zemmour is a well-known politically incorrect French journalist and commentator. He has been prosecuted and convicted in the past for his “racist” utterances.

Last week a criminal court in Paris handed down another judgment against Mr. Zemmour. In addition to a fine, this decision includes a gag order.

The remarks that got him in hot water this time were made on a TV talk show last September. The following video shows that “Islamophobic” discussion. Many thanks to Ava Lon for the translation, and to Vlad Tepes for the subtitling:

Below are two articles about last week’s judgment against Éric Zemmour, also translated by Ava Lon. The first one is from Le Figaro:

Eric Zemmour sentenced again for Islamophobic remarks

June 22, 2017

The polemicist Eric Zemmour was sentenced Thursday [06/22/2017] to a €5,000 fine for incitement to hatred for anti-Muslim remarks made in the program “C to you” on September 6, 2016.

During the broadcast on France 5, he in particular considered it necessary to give Muslims “the choice between Islam and France”.

He also argued that “all Muslims, whether they say it or not,” regarded jihadists as “good Muslims.”

The Criminal Court of Paris ruled that the remarks he made are “undoubtedly serious”, with Eric Zemmour “stigmatizing on several occasions and in particularly violent and peremptory terms a community taken in its entirety”.

In addition to the fine, he was ordered to pay one euro in damages to CAPJPO EuroPalestine, which initiated the proceedings, and €2,000 for legal costs.

Eric Zemmour was previously convicted in 2011 for incitement to hatred, after saying on television that “most drug dealers are black and Arab; that’s how it is; it’s a fact.”

More recently, the Court of Appeal of Paris confirmed last November its sentence of a €3,000 fine for statements considered Islamophobic in the Italian newspaper Corriere Della Sera. He appealed in cassation.

Eric Zemmour convicted in criminal court because he still does not understand that one should not tell the truth about Islam

Since France is the country of freedoms and human rights, power silenced the great voices until they submitted.

After Natacha Polony, who just lost her time on the air in various audio and television media, the stranglehold is tightening around Eric Zemmour, who has just been slapped with a gag order and ordered to pay €5,000 in fines by the 17th Correctional Chamber Of the Paris Court. The polemicist had bravely declared in the program “C à Vous” broadcast last September on France 5 that “The moderate Muslim does not exist” and that “the soldiers of jihad are considered by all the Muslims, whether they say it or not, to be good Muslims.”

Zemmour added that it was necessary “to give them the choice between Islam and France… For example, giving a first name that isn’t French to your child is… wanting to continue an Islamic identity in France and it’s wanting to transform France into a country that is more and more Muslim.”

For these assertions Éric Zemmour was pursued by the radical and anti-Israeli association CAPJPO-EuroPalestine.

According to Le Parisien, the Criminal Court found that the prosecuted speech was “undeniably serious”, Éric Zemmour “stigmatizing on several occasions and in particularly violent and peremptory terms a community taken as a whole.” In addition to the fine, he was ordered to pay one euro in damages to the association CAPJPO-EuroPalestine, and €2,000 for court costs.

Sadly, it is clear that it was French listeners and citizens who initiated a complaint against the person who bears the standard of Truth, in order to open their eyes to one of the realities of Islam.

After the trials of Pierre Cassen and Georges Bensoussan, and with the conviction of Eric Zemmour, judicial institutions demonstrate once again that telling the truth about Islam leads you directly to the Criminal Court and a sure conviction.

Now, all Muslims know that Islam is a whole and that the dichotomy of Islam vs. Islamism is a Western invention.

The journalist-writer and friend Salem Ben Ammar has warned against the false distinction between Islam and Islamism: all Muslims who are honest and aware of the infernal dynamics set up by the proponents of political correctness and the opponents of Islamophobia know that it’s Islam at work behind the jihadist crimes.

But the 17th Chamber of the Correctional Court — by this iniquitous decision — also gave a signal of encouragement to all associations and organizations which, by various means, spread Islam in France and are practicing a “soft” jihad by denouncing on behalf of Human Rights all criticism of Islam, of its nature and of the deleterious imprint it leaves in the brains of its followers.

The truth is that being a good Muslim is to follow Islam to the letter, and jihad is part of Islam.

This is what Wikipedia says: Islam has four types of jihad: the heart, the tongue, the hand and the sword. Jihad through the heart invites Muslims to “fight in order to improve or improve society”. Jihad can also be interpreted as a spiritual struggle within the framework of Sufism, for example. The latter interpretation served as an argument for various Muslim groups throughout history to promote actions against “infidels” or other Muslim groups considered opponents and rebels. Nevertheless, the specialists of the Koran agree that it is illegitimate to assert that the Quranic jihad is only spiritual.

In the totalitarian France that Macron is bringing in, Zemmour won’t be the last to be sentenced for telling the truth about Islam. The great media voices are dying out; mediocre Macronian elected representatives of the National Assembly replace former elected representatives and senators of the Assembly, and the confrontation of ideas will be replaced by an intellectual poverty; and — as Guy Millière put it so well in his last article — it will be “euthanasia on a gentle slope”.

After the recent attack on the Champs-Élysées, where an ordinary “Muslim”, who was S-filed [had a terrorist file] and completely free in his movements, proved to be a pure jihadist, the demonstration was made that in France the “security system” has gaping flaws, and that, moreover, the jihadist may hide under the guise of a rich and “honorable” merchant. S*** hitting the fan for Emmanuel Macron and his muddy argument used during his presidential campaign, which had claimed that the Muslims’ acting out was to be attributed to their social frustrations due to poverty and lack of means to achieve their aspirations.

Macron, who claims protecting French citizens more by including in the law measures of control and retaliation against terrorists, while simultaneously giving a new European and economic dynamics to France all while accelerating the immigration of Iraqi and Syrian refugees, is in the process of cynically setting up tools which will inevitably turn against democracy. In particular, if the anti-terrorist laws are enshrined in the Constitution, it is not clear who will be in power in a few decades or what use will be made of these laws, which could turn against French citizens trying to resist jihad and the Islamization of our national territory.

In France for many years now the whistle blowers against the dictatorship of Islam are being banished from society. Fearful of being labeled Islamophobic, citizen movements collapse here and there in Europe. We’ll see if Macron keeps his promises of “proportional”, but for now, in France, Marine Le Pen, with her 10.5 million voters, cannot penetrate the glass ceiling and has only 8 FN representatives in the National Assembly, while 17 Muslims will sit there. While Geert Wilders, in the Netherlands, is pursuing his lonely crusade against Islamization, in a country on the alert, which renounces the integration of Muslims, in Germany, the protest movements against Angela Merkel’s policy of the invasion of Germany are gagged, just like in Sweden and Denmark, just like in England, where they are brutally repressed by the police and imprisoned as happened to the heroic Tommy Robinson. And to close the whole, in Switzerland, Oscar Freysinger was virtually excluded from political life.

I have no doubt that Macron, who played so much on his image as both a seducer and a “Jupiterian sovereign”, gave pledges to those Muslims whom he had brought into the Assembly and the Muslim organizations he endorsed.

I am convinced that he won’t be able to stem the rise of jihadism, that he will yield to the Islamization of France and the rising demands of the Ummah, which at the individual and community level inexorably pursues its goals of conquest at the global level: it may be that Macron’s five years term will mark the establishment — one day soon — of the Islamic Republic of France, in a country entirely anesthetized… unless there’s a popular awakening…

But one thing is certain: the Islamization of a nation is a trap from which it is difficult, if not impossible, to escape. Many Muslims know this and tell us about it… These voices are not killed for the moment, but are only heard by some resistant citizens. Political and legal bodies display the logic of submission to Islam.

What the 17th Correctional Chamber has just done is once again a heresy. But in the land of Voltaire and Diderot, Reason and Common Sense have no force of law any longer. A soft Jihad is more insidious, more subtle, and in some ways more dangerous and difficult to fight than violent jihad, because, by skillfully using our legislation, it’s gradually winning via the cowardice and ignorance of the judges.
