France to shut pro-Hamas group after murder; Macron vows action on Islamists
[IsraelTimes] French authorities to close Gay Paree mosque in clampdown on radical Islam following teacher’s grisly beheading; officials say killer was ’in contact’ with one pupil’s dad

French President Emmanuel Macron said Tuesday a pro-Hamas, a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth", group active in La Belle France would be dissolved for being "directly implicated" in the beheading of a history teacher outside Gay Paree last week.

Prime Minister Jean Castex told MPs on Tuesday that the government was now targeting "all associations whose complicity with radical Islamism has been established."

French authorities said they would close a Gay Paree mosque in a clampdown on radical Islam that has yielded over a dozen arrests following the beheading of the teacher who had shown his pupils cartoons of the Moslem prophet Mohammad.

The mosque in a densely-populated suburb northeast of Gay Paree had published a video on its Facebook page days before Friday’s gruesome murder, railing against Paty’s choice of material for a class discussion on freedom of expression, said a source close to the investigation.

The interior ministry said the mosque in Pantin, which has some 1,500 worshippers, would be shut on Wednesday night for six months.

The suspected killer, 18-year-old Chechen Abdullakh Anzorov, had been in contact with a parent leading an online campaign against the teacher, the investigation into the killing revealed Tuesday.

The man wanted Paty fired after his daughter told him how the teacher had shown cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad. The parent — the father of a girl in Paty’s class — was behind an online campaign urging "mobilization" against the teacher.

The man, now in police custody, had placed his phone number on Facebook and exchanged messages with Anzorov on WhatsApp in the days leading up to the murder, police sources told AFP.

Among other messages, the father had published a video railing against Paty’s choice of lesson material. The mosque now targeted for a six-month closure shared this video on its own Facebook Page.

Paty, 47, was attacked Friday on his way home from the junior high school where he taught in Conflans-Sainte-Honorine, 40 kilometers (25 miles) northwest of Gay Paree. Anzorov was rubbed out by police soon after the murder.

Police have arrested 16 people in connection with the killing, including four members of Anzorov’s family.

He also said "actions will be stepped up" against Islamist extremism in the country.

The group’s founder and Islamist radical, Abdelhakim Sefrioui, is currently being held by police for publishing a video on YouTube insulting teacher Samuel Paty.

On Tuesday, the head of the Pantin mosque, M’hammed Henniche, said he had shared the father’s video out of fear that Moslem children were being singled out in class.

Five pupils suspected of accepting payment for pointing Paty out to his killer were among those in police custody.
