Excerpt:
The controversy began with his intervention in September 2016 on the broadcast "C à vous". Éric Zemmour was then immediately sued at the 17th Criminal Court of the Paris Court. He must respond to the alleged offense of "incitement to discrimination and hatred against people of Muslim faith". The lawsuit is promoted by the EuroPalestine Association.
Zemmour is in trouble for a few sentences, such as the ones describing Muslims as those who "have to choose between Islam and France", saying that "jihad is a religious duty", that "Muslims consider jihadists as good Muslims" and that "moderate Islam does not exist". Ideas. Ideas are debatable in a European pluralist democracy proud of the free circulation of ideas, as well as goods and people. But these ideas are becoming forbidden in France.
Thus, Zemmour was sentenced of incitement to hatred and a fine of 5,000 euros.
