Marine Le Pen on trial after comparing Muslims in France with Nazis


At a meeting in Lyon in 2010 the Front National leader compared Muslims occupying streets for their five-times-a-day prayers to the Nazi occupation during WW2: "Si certains aiment parler de la seconde guerre mondiale et bien pour le coup ici ils peuvent, car il s'agit d'une véritable occupation du territoire." (If some like to talk about the Second World War, and well for once here they can, because this is a real occupation of territory.)

Now she faces charges of "Provocation à la discrimination, à la violence ou à la haine raciale"


Clearly France needs an American style First Amendment guaranteeing free speech.
