(Morocco World News) France’s Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin said that his country is set to expel Moroccan imam Hassan Iquioussen.
The minister publicly accused the France-born Moroccan imam of adopting “hate speech against the values of France, contrary to our principles of secularism and equality between women and men.”
The Moroccan imam was born in France to Moroccan parents in 1964 in Denain, in northeastern France.
The imam has been publishing YouTube videos viewed by roughly ten thousand followers.
French news outlet Le Point said that France’s decision to expel the imam was taken after Iquioussen’s request to renew his ten-year residence permit. France has withdrawn his nationality due to his publicly stated positions.
