In an event that was captured on video and made available on Snapchat, European politicians have condemned an assault in which a man was fatally shot while praying at a dome in the west of the nation.
Since the attack, which occurred on Friday, the suspect has been at large, and authorities have not officially explained a goal.
In a publish on X, French President Emmanuel Macron declared that racism and spiritually determined hatred will never be tolerated in France and expressed his support for the man’s family and the European Muslim community.
Bruno Retailleau, the interior minister, met with spiritual officials in the southern French town of Ales where the attack took place on Sunday.
On Sunday night, a presentation against Islamophobia was planned in Paris.
In a blog on X on Saturday, Prime Minister Francois Bayrou blasted the invasion as being anti-Islam.
France, which has more than six million Muslims and accounts for about 10 % of the country’s inhabitants, has the largest Arab population in Europe, which is praised for its “laicite” domestic secularism.
However, politicians from all political parties, including Macron, have attacked what they have characterized as radical Islam and Islamist separatism in a way that freedom and Arab organizations have suggested may make it more difficult for Muslims to identify themselves.
On Sunday, the French Council of the Muslim Faith urged the government to build a strategy to safeguard Muslim places of worship.
