France: The noose tightens on Muslims after the killing of Toulouse

Waking after removal of Mohamed Merah is rather difficult for the Muslims of France after the announcement of the identity of the killer feared Toulouse amalgams. If Islam has been at the heart of political debate since the beginning of the presidential campaign, and the stigmatization of Muslims, a recurring process, the tragedy that has shaken the France frees the floor again. Monday morning, this is Nicolas Sarkozy went wrong while he searched for words during an interview on France Inter. The two soldiers killed at Montauban, he said, "were apparently Muslim," a new name which is in addition to French of Muslim culture. In any case the awkward expression was accused of "racist" by the Communists. The Socialists in turn, ask Nicolas Sarkozy to avoid "words that divide."
Sheikh Qaradawi persona non grata
Sarkozy's other action aimed Islam and did not leave the Muslim community in France insensitive: the famous preacher Qatari, Egyptian origin, Youssef Al-Qaradawi and Sheikh Egypt, Mahmoud El-Masri, are allowed to stay in France. Both were to participate in the gathering of the Union of Islamic Organizations of France (UOIF) scheduled for April 6, Liberation reported. "I told the Emir of Qatar itself that this gentleman was not welcome in the territory of the French Republic," said Nicolas Sarkozy on France Inter. He added that they "would not welcome [because they] take (...) of speech that are not compatible with the republican ideal." According to the site Saphirnews, the government's decision would have been demanded by the Front National (FN) supported by the French-Algerian journalist Mohamed Sifaoui.
