France Likely To Close Over 100 Mosques It Says 'Preach Hatred'
ABC News KGTV ^ | 12/09/2015 | Grant Suneson

Posted on 12/09/2015 12:35:47 PM PST by SeekAndFind

France is planning on shutting down dozens of mosques, and a top Islamic leader is staunchly supporting the move.

Hassan El Alaoui, who's in charge of all Muslim prison chaplains in France, told Al Jazeera anywhere between 100 and 160 Muslim worship centers will be closed.

He added that the mosques would be shuttered "because they are run illegally without proper licenses, they preach hatred or use takfiri speech," meaning they denounce other Muslims for not being truly adherent to the Quran.

The crackdown on extremist speech would affect roughly 4 to 6 percent of the countries 2,600 total mosques. Three have already been closed following the Nov. 13 attacks on Paris that left 130 people dead.

But while some Muslims like El Alaoui are concerned about the rhetoric being used at mosques, others are concerned closing houses of worship infringes on civil liberties.

In France, emergency powers, like those enacted after the Paris attacks, are supposed to last just 12 days. But the Senate voted to extend that period to three months. Since that vote, police have searched over 2,200 homes and detained more than 200 people.

The director of Amnesty International's European program said the powers are only supposed to be used in the case of an imminent threat but that "much more of this was preventative and speculative rather than linked to intelligence on [the attacks]."

A mosque is just a building made of brick. The hate is going to continue to be preached!

Excellent. This is even more effective than the Russian mulching them in Syria.

And... Act while you can, Hollande. Marine Le Pen is going to take your place soon.

Weren't numerous mosques converted over from Churches losing attendees?

Sure, the mosque version of a Church would initially lack certain facilities, the mudslimes may have added weaponry rooms, powder rooms, basement armories, and such.

The bottom line is, Europe needs less mosques but MORE churches and synagogues.

And - 3 out of 4 mosques here in the US are military jihad training centers.

And the idiot French pantwaist President is dissing Trump for wanting to take a time out from importing jihadists. The world is nuts.

Yes we can all applaud this action, but this is what happens in a country without a First Amendment. On balance, I say no thank you.

One more muslim terrorism incident in the US and I predict the shutdown of mosques will be demanded.

It would be far more effective to deport the radical clerics, and their congregations.

“A mosque is just a building made of brick. The hate is going to continue to be preached!”

A bit like Israel destroying the house of terrorists but not the terrorists, or us dropping leaflets to warn ISIS oil truck drivers to run for their lives before we bomb the convoy, or having tough laws against guns but going soft on the criminals.

Our public officials have forgotten the following part of the constitution... it would be very timely for Trump to remind every one...

“Article VI of the Constitution requires Officials to take an oath “to support this Constitution.” Today, 5 U.S.C. 3331 specifies the language of the oath for federal officials. According to this statute, officials must “solemnly swear (or affirm)” that they “will support and defend the Constitution of the United States AGAINST ALL ENEMIES FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC” and that they “will bear true faith and allegiance to the same.””

Is some entity in the US keeping track of radical Imams trained in Saudi Arabia practicing here and at what Mosques? You would think so, but I doubt it.

Foreign funded antigovernment activity. Collusion with terrorists.

And our State Department, White House, and Justice Department bend over to them.

RE: Will David Cameron and Paul Ryan condemn?

Speaker Paul Ryan : “This is not who we are as a party”

He can’t even speak for all Republicans, how does he even dare speak for France?
