Court confirms Belgian Islam Party leader conviction for sexism over 2018 TV appearance

(Breitbart) A Belgian court has confirmed the conviction for sexism handed down against Belgian Islamist Redouane Ahrouch over a television appearance in April of 2018.

The Court of Cassation, the supreme court of the Belgian justice system, has confirmed the conviction against Mr Ahrouch, who was found guilty of violating sexism legislation in May of 2019 and given a six-month suspended prison sentence, along with a €5,000 (£4,344/$5,210) fine.
