He ‘claimed, unconvincingly, to have ‘attacked political Islam and not the Muslims.'”
Since his posts were not quoted, however, this claim cannot be independently verified.
He says he “wanted to counterbalance an almost totalitarian doxa of happy globalism.”
Yes, but totalitarianism is total indeed, and it defeated him.
“Teacher fired and sentenced for Islamophobic posts,” translated from “Un enseignant viré et condamné pour des posts islamophobes,” by Maria Pineiro, 20 Minutes, December 20, 2021:
His verbosity on Facebook cost P. his teaching job and a conviction. On Monday, the Police Court upheld a criminal order against the 50-year-old for racial discrimination and public provocation to crime and violence. Between June and July 2018, the defendant published numerous Islamophobic posts on Facebook. In front of the judge, he expressed regret, but claimed, unconvincingly, to have “attacked political Islam and not the Muslims.” He admitted, however, a “lack of nuance.”
Countering “happy globalism”
As for his motivations, P. denied having an “Islamophobic obsession,” simply claiming to have “wanted to counterbalance an almost totalitarian doxa of happy globalism.” He denied that he wanted to incite readers to violence against the target groups. His words earned the former teacher “who loved his job,” according to his father and his lawyer, an administrative investigation deemed “dependent” which led to his dismissal by the Department of Public Instruction (DIP). For P., now employed in a training center, this affair “destroyed my life. I am ashamed of my people, ashamed of having been ostracized and undergone a real social downgrading.”
Conviction confirmed
For his lawyer, Me Yves Nidegger, P. thus suffered a “triple sentence,” dismissed, sentenced and, as a consequence, a real “descent into hell.” The lawyer pointed out that his client thinks himself on the networks “in an area where he can express himself, like his colleagues on the other side.” He thought he was “authorized to have opinions.” Me Nidegger defended “political posts” and a desire to “slay ideas” to seek acquittal. But this was not successful. P. was sentenced to a 90-day fine of 100 fr. with three years of a suspended sentence.
Very rare cases
Questioned on this case, the DIP indicated that it “cannot tolerate the possibility of Islamophobic remarks on behalf of a teacher.” However, he is reassuring, stressing that “this type of situation is extremely rare, on the order of less than once a year.” The Department notes that teachers are generally attentive to their social role and their duty to set an example, showing, for “the overwhelming majority, an open-mindedness, respect for differences and their commitment to a school open to all in perfect harmony with the values of the DIP.”
In Geneva, the teaching profession is subject to a directive which entered into force in May 2020 and which regulates the restrictions on the freedom of expression of professors, to which they are fundamentally entitled. The latter “may be limited if the performance of the task or the maintenance of public confidence in the administration so requires,” according to the federal court. “A duty of secrecy is foreseen for civil servants and teachers”, which operates on a weighing of interests.

Fittingly, ‘comments’ are disabled on the article. The French are afraid of even hearing opinions on the poor teacher’s false conviction and fine.

Too true, rubiconcrest.

Michael Copeland says
Switzerland needs a First Amendment.
Wellington says
America is in great danger right now of entirely eviscerating the First Amendment. Biden, the old fool, and his stupid and malevolent handlers, have already gone a long way to gutting the First Amendment of all meaning (Garland, the reprehensible AG, is particularly loathsome in this regard though many other culprits are “out there”—for example the fool still head of the FBI, one Christopher Wray, whom Trump should have fired when he still had the chance).
These idiots aplenty are continuing to work on gutting the Second Amendment too and one knows or should know that as the Second Amendment goes, so goes the First Amendment. The first two Amendments are tied at the Constitutional and metaphorical hip and entirely dependent on one another and I for one am so tired of those who don’t realize that force not only insures tyranny, a given, but also insures liberty.
There is still hope, especially the more Biden and his silly handlers are mocked and excoriated, as they most deserve to be, but matters are still on “the cusp,” and if America loses the real intent of the First Amendment (the Second Amendment too), then Switzerland “coming through” on some kind of First Amendment protection would almost be dead from the start because, you see, as America goes so goes the West and as the West goes so goes the rest of the world.
And thanks again to all the rubes, fools, idiots, doofuses and your standard collection of lesser human beings who ACTUALLY voted for Biden for President. Shame on all of you forever.
Get it, FOREVER, unless you completely repent of your idiotic error, which being idiots in the first place I think few of you will end up doing. So sick of lunacy and the main reason why lunacy continues, i.e., fools aplenty.

Doomer says
I never thought Switzerland would stoop so low. The truth is,Western Europe is beyond salvation, except,I hope,in France, hoping Zemmour wins. As a doomer, I only give Western Europe a 20% realistic probability its civilization will not collapse.
Truth is,also, as other redpillers have pointed out, supposing the Conservatives do win, it will realistically just be MORE of the SAME.
a) That means,more of the same,as it was in the 1980s.
b) Conservatives are 50% as Bad as Leftists because they are 50% Intentionally Ignorant of how rotten society was in the West even BEFORE the Left rose and rose and rose.
c) That is why many,many,many of the best and brightest redpillers are not going to fight for the West against the Leftist-Muslim alliance.
d) It is because Conservatives have done Absolutely Nothing to Eliminate the Divore and Cohabitation laws of the 70s that have financially and emotionally destroyed MILLIONS of men. Truth is,they Never Will, the system is rigged.
For decades MEN and also some WOMEN have tried to overturn them,nothing. The women are called HONEY BADGERS. Laws like,if it is 100% proven by DNA testing that kids are Not an ex-husband’s real biological kids,
he still has to pay Child Support, until they are 18.
In RUSSIA divorce is 70% but no such law exists. Men get divorced and they continue to be useful members of society.
Such women usually are for overthrowing the divorce and cohabitation laws, and other such laws( like if a woman Falsely Accuses a Man of Rape, then if it is PROVEN it was false,
it is still NOT AUTOMATICALLY a crime, she is NOT punished for trying to get an Innocent Man in jail for 20 years), because a BROTHER was destroyed , or a SON, or a male friend.
One Canadian woman who has for years tried to change things is ALISON TIEMAN, another Canadian is KAREN STRAUGHAN,
and American CASSIE JAYE ( 2016 documentary ”The Redpill”). They are also in favor of MANADATORY DNA Testing of Newborns for all.
Due to the fact that 33% of those who have a DNA test in the UK and other countries finding out their father is NOT their real biological father. Since some 20% are from SINGLE mothers(never married),
in about 50% of marriages in the West, the children are NOT the husband’s.
No doubt the French and German governments have done secret research, because there it is ILLEGAL for a FATHER to have a private DNA test on his children. Even if he goes to Spain ( for that in France (a 15,000 euro fine), in Germany (a 5,000 euro fine)).
Many redpillers actually,believe it or not, would WELCOME a Muslim triomph in the West ( this has been noted by Daniel Haqiqatjou,in several of his videos, he knows the redpill community well),
because it would IMMEDIATELY eliminate those laws, like for example:
1. If a man loses his job, has NO income, and so can’t pay pay child support, the polcie go to his home, he is THROWN into JAIL.
2. In SWEDEN, if 2 want to have sex, a man and woman have to fill in and SIGN a statement saying they are going to sleep together of their own free will.
3. In some states, if a SINGLE mother gives birth, she can declare ANY man as the father. If after a certain time, he has not shown DNA evidence he is NOT the father,
he has to Pay Child Support. Even if he proves he did NOT KNOW the woman. There are cases where this happened to a woman’s HUSBAND,
and that woman became an anti-feminist.
gravenimage says
Wait–so you would rather see a Muslim takeover of the West than for men to pay child support? Good grief–no wonder you love the vicious Muslim supremacist Daniel Haqiqatjou.
Then, the claim that 50% of women cheat on their husbands and have children with other men is just bizarre–citations, please. I can find *no* such stats.
I have issue with child custody often automatically going to the mother as well–but whatever the problems of the West, prefering the horrors of Islam is just grotesque.
I have my issues with some aspects of the modern West, as well–but do I plan to fight against the horrors of an Islamic takeover? *Hell yes*. And I’ll do it with or without “redpillers” if they prefer savagery and slavery.
revereridesagain says
If a man is proved 100% to be the father of a child he should pay half of that child’s support until it is deemed to be an adult. A man should NEVER be compelled to support another man’s offspring (unless having previously willingly assumed that responsibility legally). There is nothing “muslim supremacist” about that. Nor should a woman be compelled to bear a proven child of rape, but so many of you seem to think that form of slavery is just fine.
gravenimage says
revereridesagain, I certainly agree that fathers should contribute to the support of their biological children.
I just question Doomer’s preference for the horrors of Islam to the issues of child support.

Switzerland: Teacher fired, fined, given suspended sentence for ‘Islamophobic’ Facebook posts
…………..
Just appalling–this *poor man*. I hate the victimization of patriotic Westerners in appeasement of Islam as much as I hate Islam itself.

Ditto Graven….if we lose our freedom of speech we’ll be marched into concentration camps and gas chambers, no joke. Or it’ll take violence to get our freedoms back.

Just think about it for a second, we’re all under constant threat from Muslims for stabbings, rape, murderers, threats and so forth and yet the Left are willing to throw away our rights/freedoms and appease this savage death cult.
It was already hard enough to fight Muslims given their tendency to attack anyone who criticizes Islam, yet now our fellow non-Muslims have decided it’s better to surrender and silence the rest of us who oppose this ideology.
In a proper functioning democracy, it would be Muslims who’d be walking on eggshells around us. If they uttered threats, or we suspected they’re involved in terrorism, the authorities would go after them with extreme force. Our leaders would be warning us about the dangers of Islam to the West, we’d have security in place to protect teachers, journalists and politicians who’d speak out against Islam.
Instead we have this nasty situation where Sharia law is gaining a strong foothold and it’s going to get much worse, the more we sit back and allow it to happen, until the only option remaining to get our freedom back will be civil war.
This is entirely the fault of the Left and some on the Right who are caving to Islam. Muslims are bad enough and had we united all non-Muslims they’d easily be defeated. Instead we’re divided and being destroyed from within.
People need to march against ‘Islamophobia’ laws and Islamic fascism. It’s coming to Canada/US as well thanks to the traitors on the Left.

We need to start mainstreaming words like westophobia or kafirphobia to make it clear it’s a two way street. Muslims don’t get to control the narrative and have us labelled as the bad guys, when in reality they’re the evil fascist totalitarian monsters trying to destroy our way of life.

Fitna says,
“Muslims don’t get to control the narrative”
Unfortunately, right now, they are controlling the narrative – but that can change if good people take a stand.

Indeed James, we can, we just have to fight back, dig in our heels and demand that Islam is declared an enemy ideology and work to have it banned/removed from the West.
