| Paris conference targets 'Islamization' of Europe |
| 2010-12-19 |
| [Dawn] About 150 people have been protesting outside the site of a conference in Gay Paree against the "Islamization" of Europe. Protesters are waving banners reading "United Against Islamophobia" and "Fascists get out of our neighborhoods." Socialist Gay Paree Mayor Bertrand Delanoe had asked police to ban the conference, but police allowed it to go forward under surveillance. Saturday's conference of about 300 participants included speakers from beyond La Belle France. It was organized by several French groups that frequently complain about Islam's growing influence over traditional French values. La Belle France has Western Europe's largest Mohammedan population. |
