As there is a rise in Islamic radicalism all over Europe, France has taken a bold move to shut six mosques and break up several associations suspected of producing radical Islamic propaganda, Interior Minister Gerard Darmanin said on Tuesday (September 28).

Darmanin told Le Figaro newspaper that places of worship, “suspected of being radical and flagged by the intelligence services had been checked since November 2020. Of those, action to shut down six in five different departments across France had been launched,”.

The French government is also looking into the dissolution of the Islamist publishers Nawa and the Black African Defence League (LDNA) because it incites the extermination of the Jews and legitimises the stoning of homosexuals.

Although LDNA is an anti sematic and organised a protest against police violence in front of the US embassy in Paris in June last year.

Last week, the Council of State, France’s highest administrative court, approved the government’s move to dissolve the Collective against Islamophobia in France (CCIF) and Baraka City.

All such changes took place after the brutal murder of a teacher, Samuel Paty, who was targeted following an online campaign against him for having shown controversial cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed published by the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo during a civics class.

Paty’s murder sent a shockwave across France and there was universal condemnation against this murder in the name of Islam and French President Emmanuel Macron said that in France people have the right to blaspheme.

In a no holds bar speech in the Netherlands Parliament, Geert Wilders, the leader of the Populist Party for Freedom (PVV) lashed out at the liberal Prime Minister Mark Rutte during a recent debate over freedom of expression in the Dutch parliament.

In his speech, Wilders said that the Dutch government’s pro-mass migration policies have allowed for the import of a “monster called Islam” into their country.

The leader’s remarks comes in the wake of recent attacks unleashed by Islamic jihadists in France and Austria, particularly the beheading of French school teacher Samuel Paty who had shown an image of Prophet Mohammad to his students to teach about freedom of expression. 

Wilders in his speech pointed out these recent attacks and also commented on Amsterdam imam Yassin Elforkani, who had made Dutch lawmakers to adopt legislation that would criminalize any insult aimed at the Islamic prophet.

Another Imam, Ismail Abou Soumayyah, a Salafist extremist of the Quba mosque in The Hague, had launched a petition asking for the Dutch government to adopt Sharia blasphemy laws. What was surprising was his petition got 40,000 signatures that would require a debate in the House of Representatives.

Wilders said that he wanted the cartoons of Prophet Mohammad to be published in newspapers and magazine not to offend anyone but to exercise freedom of specch.

He was relentless in his attack of liberal politicians like Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte who claims that only a small minority of Muslim immigrants in the Netherlands and Europe support terrorism and reject secular democracy. 

“So it’s not just a few rotten apples who make other Muslims look bad,” Wilders began. “I say to the Prime Minister, stop pushing this nonsense fairy tale. This is large majority of 700,000 [out of 900,000] who reject our free society.”

“And you, mister Prime Minister, have imported a monster called Islam into our country, which has put our country in danger,” Wilders thundered. 

The Dutch MP laid out a five-point plan to remedy the current situation the country finds itself in. He called for recognizing Islam as a violent ideology, closing the borders for immigrants from Islamic countries, dismantling Islamic institutions,  locking up or deporting Islamists who threaten or use violence and other Islamic jihadist sympathizers, and having schools and media companies to show Muhammad cartoons without fear of retaliation.

He went on to say that if Muslims do not want to live in a secular country, they are free to move to any Islamic country that has Sharia.  

“Get out! Leave for an Islamic country. Then you can enjoy Islamic rules. Those are their rules, but not ours. This is our country. Not your country, but our country. This is the Netherlands.”, Wilders said.

In a show of defiance and solidarity, amid the presence of heavily armed police officers who stood guard Wednesday  (October 21) evening, the people of France espousing the valued of “Liberté, Egalité, Fraternité” and defied Islamic terrorism ideology by projecting huge images of Charlie Hebdo cartoons on a local government building.

The images of Charlie Hebdo cartoons that also included a caricature of Prophet Mohammad was projected onto two town halls in the Occitanie region — Montpellier and Toulouse — for four hours on Wednesday evening. Regional mayor Carole Delga was quoted by FranceBleu as saying of the decision to show the art: “there must be no weakness in the face of the enemies of democracy, facing those who transform religion into a weapon of war… those who intend to destroy the Republic.”

Samuel Paty, who lived in the greater Paris area was murdered on Friday by a Muslim immigrant terrorist because he showed the cartoons to his students as part of an exercise to enjoy the right freedom of expression.

In 2015, Islamist gunmen carried out a deadly attack in the offices of Charlie Hebdo and many of the paper’s editorial staff were killed. Right now fifteen individuals are under trail for the terror attack in a Paris court. Two brothers, Saïd and Chérif Kouachi, carried out the terror attack because the magazine published cartoons of Mohammed, and justified the killing under Islamic law.

Before attacks were against Charlie Hebdo cartoons and the beheading of Samuel Paty, the French teacher, Danish newspaper Jyllands Posten was the subject of several terror attack plots since it “published an image of Mohammed wearing a bomb in his turban in 2005.”

However, it seems Friday’s attack was the proverbial “hay that broke the camel’s back” and has prompted a strong response from the French government. Already, the French government has been aiding individuals and organisations that expressed support for the attack and attacker.

The French government under the leadership of President Emmanuel Macron have now taken strong measures by dissolving extremist Islamist organisations in the country that had the permission to operate.

One mosque that justified the action of the Islamic terrorist issued an apology for its actions this week, insisting that it was not foreseeable that the call could lead to someone being killed. However, despite the apology, orders have been given to shut the mosque.

After the brutal beheading of Samuel Paty, a 47-year-old history teacher by an Islamist in France, 231 radicalised foreign nationals in a sweeping crackdown have been expelled, Reuters reported.

France Minister of the Interior Gérald Darmanin said that the government has plans to carry out the expulsion swiftly in response to the killing of Samuel Paty who had shown the cartoons of Mohammad that had been published in the French weekly, Charlie Hebdo.

French President Emmanuel Macron denounced the act as an “Islamist terrorist attack” and had defended the right to blasphemy. 

Earlier this month, President Macron had unveiled a plan to defend France’s secular values against Islamist radicalism, and had stated, “Islam is a religion that is in crisis all over the world today, we are not just seeing this in our country,”.

France defines extremists as “people who, engaged in a process of radicalisation, are likely to want to go abroad to join terrorist groups or take part in terrorist activities”.

After this brutal murder, 231 foreigners in the File of Alerts for the Prevention of Terrorist Attacks (FSPRT) will be deported. As per reports released by the French government, 180 people are currently in prison and 51 are expected to be arrested in the next few hours. Also, more than 850 illegal immigrants are registered to the FSPRT.

Macron has also announced that his government will be presenting a bill in December to strengthen a 1905 law that officially separated church and state.

This step will ensure that France as a nation will maintain its neutrality on religion. In a speech to the nation, Macron emphasised that “no concessions” would be made in a new drive to push religion out of education and the public sector in France.

Macron went on to say that France would seek to “liberate” Islam in France from foreign influences. This will be done by improving oversight of the financing of mosques and closer scrutiny of schools and associations exclusively serving religious communities, he stated.

In January 2015, the staff of Charlie Hebdo was massacred and the government described it as an act of “Islamist terrorism”. Right now 14 perpetrators, who are charged with various crimes including supplying weapons, membership of a terrorist organisation, and financing terrorism are on trial.
