'World Upside Down': Le Pen Criminally Charged For Sharing Photos Of ISIS's Crimes

French far-right leader Marine le Pen said Thursday that the bringing of criminal charges for tweeting graphic images of ISIS violence was clearly an attempt to silence her. She said the world was “upside down.”

If convicted of distributing violent images, the National Front leader, who lost an election run-off last year to President Emmanuel Macron, could be imprisoned for up to three years and fined some $90,000.

...Responding to Thursday’s development, she told the BFM television news network the indictment was “clearly aimed at silencing me” but added that she “will not be silenced.”

She said she would consider any conviction a “medal of patriotism.”

Le Pen told the conservative Le Figaro that the law she is being charged under was designed to protect children back in the era of Minitel, a French pre-world wide web technology that was known for its sex chat lines.

“It’s the world upside down,” she said.

So Charlie Hebdo is free to insult all muslims but Marine LePen is indicted for showing the atrocities commited by muslim terrorists. France has lost its mind!

If she is trying to show the world the effect of atrocities committed by anyone does it only become a problem when they are muslims?

So France can support church-burning, head-chopping jihadists in Syria for over 6 years and no one bats a single eyelash, but exposing the violence of ISIS can get you charged with “inciting terrorism” and “seriously harming human dignity”?

Marine #LePen faces 3 years jail for tweeting a photo of ISIS beheading James Foley. If only she had posted a photo of a Syrian getting beheaded, she would have won an award as did time Magasines @patrickwitty. @MLP_officiel pic.twitter.com/xN44vxGmQF
