(European Conservative) After a man was murdered on Friday, April 25th, in a mosque in the south of France, the French left wants to use the case to denounce a climate that has become “dangerous” for Muslims in France, but the minister of the interior refuses to describe the murder as “Islamophobic.”
On the early morning of Friday, April 25th, a Malian man named Aboubakar Cissé was stabbed to death praying in a mosque in La Grande Combe, near Alès, in the Gard department in southern France. The murderer entered the mosque early in the morning and filmed himself killing his victim before fleeing. A refugee in Italy, he has since turned himself in to the police in Pistoia, near Florence.
Since the announcement of the murder, there has been intense debate in the French press about the exact motive of the killer, Olivier Hadzovic, a Frenchman of Bosnian origin.
