Paris Mosque Files Complaint Against French Islamophobic Writer

On Thursday, the Grand Mosque of Paris announced the opening of a criminal case against French writer Michel Houellebecq over his anti-Muslim statements amid a surge of Islamophobia in the country.

The decision came after a “long conversation” between Houellebecq and another writer, Michel Onfray, and was published in Front Populaire magazine in November, the statement said.

In the article, Houellebecq said that people in France are “arming” and may attack Muslim institutions when “whole territories come under Islamic control.”

“People are arming. They buy rifles and take shooting courses … I think that resistance actions will occur when entire territories come under the control of Islam. Well, the Bataclan is the other way around,” he said.

For the officials of the Grand Mosque of Paris, these “lapidary remarks” were “unacceptable and incredibly cruel.”

“They do not seek to shed light on any public debate, but provoke discriminatory rhetoric and actions,” he added.

The statement noted that while criticism of religion is permitted in a democratic society, the comments in the article “call for the complete rejection and exclusion of the Muslim component.”

He spoke, and he’s not a Muzzie, so it must be Islamofobia.

Doesn’t that Imam have an Opera House to shoot up? Sobieski knew how to deal with invading muslims. Too bad it will inevitably happen next time with modern weapons.

Houellebecq was pointing out people are arming prevent Muslim supremacist from taking over.

If you said people in big American cities are arming because of gangs moving in it’s the same.

It is a matter of fact, not opinion. And criminal enterprises will sell rifles to anyone who wants, like it or not.

Houellebecq‘s novel, Submission, which describes a Muslim takeover of France, is available in English translation from Amazon. The book is as prophetic as Orwell’s 1984 or Raspail’s Camp of the Saints and is worth reading.
