French Muslim leader calls for doubling of mosques
[ARABNEWS] One of La Belle France's top Moslem leaders has called for the number of mosques to double over the next two years to remedy a shortage of places of worship for the country's millions of faithful.Speaking at a weekend gathering of French Islamic organizations, where participants asked for respect in the face of a rise in anti-Moslem attacks, Dalil Boubakeur said the 2,200 mosques in the country did not adequately represent Europe's largest Moslem community. "We need double (that number) within two years," the head of the French Moslem Council and rector of the Gay Paree mosque said in the town of Le Bourget near the capital. Posted by: Fred 2015-04-06 |
