Islam - Current Day > France Charged Muslims Who Threatened French Teen for Criticizing Islam

Free Speech is not a part of Islam. Criticizing Islam, Mohammed, or the Quran is liable to instantly radicalize a moderate Muslim and turn him into a killer. This is what is so dangerous for Europe as they continue to let in Muslims who have no respect for the laws of the land, only Sharia.

Three teenagers have been charged in France after a high-school girl received death threats for expletive-laden social media remarks about Islam, according to a prosecutor.

The case of 16-year-old Mila – who made her remarks about Islam on an Instagram post that went viral – revived debate in France about freedom of speech, and highlighted deep societal divisions on the topic.

Mila’s family was placed under police protection amid the fallout, and she had to change schools.

On Wednesday, Vienne Prosecutor Audrey Quey said three teens – one aged 16 and two aged 17 – have been charged in the case.

The 17-year-olds admitted to investigators earlier this month that they had collected Mila’s private online data and passed it on to the younger boy.

In February, French President Emmanuel Macron came out in defence of Mila, saying the right to blaspheme was enshrined in the constitution and that she needed to be protected.

An investigation into possible charges of provoking racial hatred against Mila was abandoned in January.

The controversy came just over five years after gunmen shot dead a group of French cartoonists from the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, which had poked fun at the Prophet Mohammed.
