In a strong response to the brutal stabbing of a Muslim worshipper in a mosque, French President Emmanuel Macron denounced racism and hatred, affirming that such acts have no place in France. The brutal crime, described as an "Islamophobic atrocity" by Prime Minister François Bayrou, involved a young Malian man killed by an assailant who filmed the attack. The French Council of the Muslim Faith expressed horror over the attack, calling it a terrorist act and urging vigilance among Muslims in France. Protests against Islamophobia are anticipated in the aftermath of this incident.
The murder of a worshipper in a mosque is a despicable crime that must revolt the heart of all who believe in justice and equality.
Freedom of worship cannot be violated," Macron wrote on X in his first comments on Friday's killing, extending his support to "our fellow Muslim citizens."
