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]."

Is France Mad at Trump like the UK is? Maybe not.
Even so, in Kiryat Arba you can hear open harangues over mosque loudspeakers, calling the fateful to kill the Jooooos! and I never saw any mosques being closed over there. Rabbi Dov Lior was once detained over a book review on a sefer that discussed the halachic elements of warfare and a putative Jewish monarchy, but not one Imam is hauled in just for hate speech.
I wonder how many Mosques in this country are preaching hate?
I wonder how many aren't.
It's not just lethal violence, but lethal violence in pursuit of establishing a religion that comes with it's own government, based on laws that are fundamentally incompatible with the Constitution.

Oh the comments I could make and the links I could post to similar behavior on here from certain posters in a specific forum ....... but I won't.
oh,shit, it looks like another good muslim/bad muslim situation is starting to take shape in good ol’France.
So I wonder what Barky and Josh Earnest have to say about that?
And that's a bad thing?
Morons.
“Is some entity in the US keeping track of radical Imams trained in Saudi Arabia..?”
A whole bunch of them work for the Bureau of Prisons. The Saudi government generously offered to fund them. Wasn’t that nice of them?

Exactly, the left believes pro-life and pro-traditional marriage speech is hateful. Churches supporting those would be next.
Seconded. This ‘high’ of reality is only gonna last for a short while, especially considering France’s glorious military history (snort) and their fiscal state. In a very short time they’re likely to be in a ultra-left socialist stranglehold. The time to act - to get planes in the air and bombs on the ground and bulldozers on the mosques is immediately if not sooner.
True but if they know you’re closing them down, they have to scurry like rats to the next arms stockpile, oops, I mean Mosque. Then you can track them better as they scurry about.
There is a long way to go, but I guess it's a start.
“Valerie Garrett wants John Kerry to use his French “
