FRANCE THREATENS TO SHUT DOWN MOSQUES

Paris, 4 Safar 1437/17 November 2015 (MINA) – French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve has said Sunday he would begin the dissolution of mosques where hate is preached.

According to the minister, the state of emergency announced in the country would allow to attack preachers of hate more rapidly, World Bulletin quoted by Mi’raj Islamic News Agency (MINA) as reporting.

On Friday night, eight terrorists wearing explosive belts attacked several venues across Paris, killing 129 people and injuring over 350 at restaurants, the Bataclan concert hall and in the vicinity of the Stade de France stadium. Responsibility for the attacks was claimed by ISIL.
