French Interior Ministry Shuts Down Mosques Near Paris for Spreading Radicalism

[Vergennes]

Four mosques were closed Wednesday in Paris suburbs after the Interior Ministry found they were used to promote radicalism.

MOSCOW (Sputnik) — "Under the cultural pretext, these places housed meetings that actually promoted a radical ideology, which was counter to the Republic’s values and could present a serious risk to security and public order," the Ministry said in a statement.

The closure was authorized by Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve under the law on a state of emergency, which allows shutting places of worship if they are used to incite hatred or violence.

France has been on high security alert since a string of gun and bomb attacks by Islamists killed 130 people in Paris in November 2015. The state of emergency was prolonged until the end of next January, following a truck attack in the city of Nice, which claimed 84 lives.

Kind of pointless tbh, you close one they will open two more underground. Europe closed its eyes when Saudis funded religious schools and mosques in all major European countries. There is no bigger religion then money.

An imam can spread radicalism. A mosque cannot(it is just a pile of bricks). France just wants to reduce the number of mosques and they find excuses
