Due to sermons "inciting hatred", "violence" and "advocating jihad", the prefecture of Oise ordered the closure of the great mosque of Beauvais for a period of six months, a she said this Tuesday.

“The prefect of the Oise took a decree on Monday relating to the closure of the great mosque of Beauvais for a period of six months.

This decree is enforceable after 48 hours ”, specified the prefecture of Oise.

A procedure initiated by Gérald Darmanin

The lawyer of the association "Hope and Fraternity", which manages this mosque, Me Samim Bolaky, announced to have seized the administrative court of Amiens against this decision.

Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin announced on December 14 that he had "initiated" the procedure for the administrative closure of this mosque, according to him because of the radical nature of the sermons given there.

"We have initiated the closure of the Beauvais mosque, (which is) completely unacceptable, which fights Christians, homosexuals and Jews", the Minister of the Interior had declared on Cnews.

"It is a mosque which is respectable"

Me Samim Bolaky then estimated that the authorities were targeting "certain remarks made in the context of sermons by one of the imams of the mosque - since suspended - who intervened on a voluntary basis". The association "Hope and Fraternity" has "always fought terrorism, has always favored living together. It is a respectable mosque, ”he said.

According to the Interior Ministry, this man, "presented as an occasional speaker but who, in reality, acts as an appointed imam" would have made remarks making "the apology for jihad and the combatants, whom he describes as a hero. ".

He would also have defended "a rigorous practice of Islam" and "its superiority over the laws of the Republic".

In addition, his words "castigate" the "disbelievers and present Western societies as Islamophobic", had detailed the ministry.

They push "the faithful to break with the Republic" and "incite hatred of homosexuals, Jews and Christians".
