(Morocco World News) French newspaper Le Monde will publish, October 16, an open letter to the president of the French Republic, Emmanuel Macron, calling for an end to Islamophobia.
Ninety French public figures have called on Macron to condemn verbal attacks on Muslims after members of a French political party publicly insulted a Muslim woman.
On October 11, France’s National Rally members called on the president of the regional council, Marie Guite Dufay, to ask a woman accompanying her son in a school activity to leave a meeting at the Regional Council of Burgundy-Franche-Comte because she was wearing a veil or hijab.
Photos circulating online show the woman’s son in tears after seeing his mother subjected to insults in front of his peers.
