In a press release published on Wednesday, December 28, the Grand Mosque of Paris announces that it will file a complaint next week for incitement to hatred against Muslims.
According to Michel Houellebecq, “
the wish of the so-called native French population is that Muslims stop stealing from them and attacking them.
Or else, another solution, that they go away
”.
The rector of the religious institution denounces lapidary, unacceptable and staggering brutality.
Chems Eddine Hafiz recalls that, if "
in a democratic society, the law allows criticism of religions
", in the face of such remarks, "
it is a call for the rejection and exclusion of Muslims
".
