Morning in Europe
Europe is beginning to see what they’ve allowed to flourish in the Continent. Their reaction? Pass more laws: European nations tighten laws to oust extremists. (Hat tip: NC.)
PARIS — Western European countries are tightening their laws to facilitate the expulsion of Islamist extremists, a response to court rulings overturning several high-profile deportation orders.
In France, an imam expelled for publicly advocating violence against women won a court ruling last month that allowed him to return.
“Under the cover of religion, individuals present on our soil have been using extremist language and issuing calls for violence. These are statements that favor the installation of terrorist movements on French territory,” French Interior Minister Dominique de Villepin […who is a man…—ed.] said recently.
“It’s necessary therefore to oppose this together and by all available means,” he said.
The French government is drafting legislation that would allow for the expulsion of foreigners who spread hate and racism through speech.
