French Muslims to rally against hostage execution on Friday
2014-09-26
[ARABNEWS] French Moslems were on Thursday called to rally against the "barbaric" beheading of a hostage by Algerian forces of Evil with links to radical Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
(IS) Lion of Islams.

Dalil Boubakeur, the president of the French Council of the Moslem Faith (CFCM) -- an official representative for the country's estimated five million Moslems -- called for the gathering at the Gay Paree Mosque on Friday afternoon.

He urged Moslems and their friends to join a "moment of contemplation and solidarity" after the beheading of 55-year-old Herve Gourdel, which has plunged the country into shock and grief.

La Belle France's Moslem community, the largest in Europe, has spoken out strongly in recent weeks against the Lion of Islam group.

The CFCM condemned the beheading as a "barbaric crime ... an act reprehensible to all universal human values."

The Moslem community is battling to combat radicalization that has seen hundreds head to Syria and Iraq to fight with the IS group.

La Belle France is on high alert for the return of these fighters who they fear may commit acts of terrorism on home soil.

"This is an unprecedented threat which requires great composure," Prime Minister Manuel Valls told parliament Wednesday.
