At least 76 mosques across France suspected of having radical Islamist ties are in the crosshairs of Emmanuel Macron’s government, in the president’s latest crackdown on separatism and political Islam.
French interior minister Gérald Darmanin is heading the offensive against the 76 mosques, 16 of which are in the Paris region, according to a leaked report. It states that 18 mosques will be subject to “immediate action” and may face possible closure.
Three of those 18 mosques are located on the notorious Paris no-go suburbs of Seine-Saint-Denis. One of the three was closed in 2019 but has continued to hold prayers despite the order.
