Fri 11 February 2022:
Eric Zemmour, a French politician and presidential candidate, has made a fresh shocking statement about mosques and the call to prayer.
According to TRT Haber, Zemmour is trying to gather supporters with his far-right rhetoric.
He said that France should remain “the landscape of churches. “I reject huge mosques,” he added.
Asked about the idea of a wall on European borders, proposed by certain leaders of the European Union, Zemmour said he was in favour.
Zemmour told the CNews channel in September last year that child migrants were “thieves, killers, they’re rapists. That’s all they are. We should send them back.”
Another current topic of concern in France is the regulation of the headscarf ban in sporting events.
The National Assembly will vote on the law, which was approved by the French Senate on January 18.
Opponents of the proposal are protesting the law.
Prohibiting protest
A planned demonstration against the headscarf ban had been prohibited earlier by Paris police, who claimed it “could endanger public order.”
The demonstration’s organizers, the Headscarves Collective, filed a complaint with the court.
The restriction was removed by the Paris Administrative Court on the grounds that the right to free expression had been seriously violated.
The court also fined the Paris Police Chief, who prevented the demonstration.
If the proposal for a headscarf ban in sports competitions is approved, “obvious religious symbols” will be prohibited from being worn at sports federations’ events and contests in France.
