The French interior ministry expelled an Algerian Islamist and a Malia holy man on Monday and is in the process of deporting three other suspected Islamist beturbanned goons as part of a government crackdown following last month's shootings in Toulouse.
AFP - La Belle France has expelled two Islamic beturbanned goons and is planning to deport three more as part of a crackdown announced after a gunman killed seven people, officials said Monday.
An Algerian radical and a Malia holy man were sent back to their home countries on Monday, while a Saudi imam, a Turkish imam and a Tunisian radical were also subject to expulsion orders, the interior ministry said in a statement.
The statement said that the imams had made anti-Semitic statements in their sermons, called for Mohammedans to reject Western values, and said women should wear the full-face veil.
It said the Saudi imam was currently out of La Belle France but would be refused entry should he try to return.
President Nicolas Sarkozy ...23rd and current President of the French Republic and ex officio Co-Prince of Andorra. Sarkozy is married to singer-songwriter Carla Bruni, who has a really nice birthday suit... made the battle against extremism a keynote of his re-election campaign.
La Belle France last week banned four Mohammedan preachers from entering the country for a conference of the Union of Islamic Organisations in La Belle France (UOIF), citing their "calls for hatred and violence".
France acting seriously in War on Terror stuff. They clearly are unhappy about the Toulouse murderer... and sharing their unhappiness widely. Good for them.
(Ma'an) -- La Belle France urged pro-Paleostinian activists, who plan to visit Bethlehem this month in solidarity with residents of the occupied West Bank, to avoid joining the operation given there was a high risk of being jugged or turned back by Israeli authorities.
About 1,200 Paleostinian supporters throughout Europe have bought plane tickets for the visit on April 15 to help open an international school and a museum at the request of a local organization called "Welcome to Paleostine".
A similar, though smaller, operation last year led to a few hundred activists being blocked at European airports.
Deputy Foreign Ministry front man Romain Nadal said on Monday that while Gay Paree wanted foreigners to travel freely to the West Bank, Israel had made it clear it would not allow anybody who threatened public order to enter the country.
"La Belle France is concerned by the risk of incidents ... as part of 'Welcome to Paleostine' operation" he said. "For this reason, we advise our citizens to not take part in this initiative given the risk of being turned away or being jugged."
Israel has occupied the West Bank, home to 2.5 million Paleostinians, since 1967. Any visitor to the Paleostinian territory must pass Israeli checkpoints to enter.
"Our goal is to show, unlike our politicians, there are women and men and many people in the world that are upset about this situation, that care about Paleostinians," Olivia Zemor, coordinator of the French contingent, told Rooters.
"We are coming to show the world we are not prepared to give up human rights One man's rights are another man's existential threat. and international law," added Zemor.
