Published time: 6 Feb, 2019 11:02
Fearing potential terrorist attacks, the south-eastern city of Grenoble will temporarily close a mosque in which imams were allegedly calling for “armed jihad.†Over 400 worshippers attended the mosque each day.
The Al-Kawthar mosque, located in a populous Rue des Trembles district of Grenoble, has become fertile soil for disseminating “ideas and theories that provoke violence, hatred and discrimination,†the local prefecture said. It claimed the imam legitimized “armed jihad… Sharia and discrimination against women.â€
The imam’s sermons allegedly stirred up hatred towards those practicing other religions. It is thought that over 400 Muslims attended the Al-Kawthar each day, according to French media.
