French authorities close another mosque with 'objectionable' sermons

The French authorities decided to close the mosque in the vicinity of the city of Bordeaux after accusations were made against the leadership of the religious building of promoting "radical Islam".

The al-Farouk Mosque in the village of Pessac near the city of Bordeaux caused dissatisfaction with the authorities with the content of Friday sermons - in particular, criticism of Israel was heard in khutbas, which is perceived by the French government as a sign of radicalism, reports bbabo.net with link to TRT World.

The authorities of the Gironde region accused the mosque of "spreading the Salafi ideology" and closed it for 6 months.

It is worth noting that last year a scandalous “anti-separatism” law came into force in France, which gives law enforcement agencies the power to interfere in the activities of religious organizations and control their finances.
