(Morocco World News) A few days after he was fined €10,000 for anti-immigrant and Islamophobic remarks, Eric Zemmour, the far-right pundit running for president in France, has again targeted Muslims and vowed to make them more respectful of the French republic and France’s Judeo-Christian values.
In an interview with Israeli daily Maariv, the French pundit said he “will make sure that Muslims respect France.”
While “Muslim countries are free to establish Islam as a state religion,” argued the far-right journalist turned politician, France would not tolerate Muslims coming to France [to] preach and give lessons about integrating or accepting Islam as French religion.
He argued that he does not intend to change Islam, but that he is mainly concerned with “protecting the French people, their identity, their language, their history, their tradition and their customs.”
