France closes mosque after imam incites hatred against Christians, Jews
Fox News
A mosque in Beauvais, Northern France has been shut down for "inciting hatred" and pushing its members toward radicalization.
Darmanin claimed that the mosque's speaker was "presented as an occasional speaker but who, in reality, acts as a regular imam." He reportedly made comments to the congregation that "glorify jihad and the fighters, whom he describes as heroes."
A lawyer for the nongovernmental organization Espoir et Fraternité (French for "Hope and Fraternity"), which operates the mosque, told journalists that the NGO would be filing a countermeasure with the courts within 48 hours.
