Cardinal André Vingt-Trois, the archbishop of Paris, told journalists: “We cannot allow ourselves to be dragged into the politics of Daesh [Islamic State], which wants to set the children of the same family against each other.”
The chairman of France’s conference of religious faiths, the Protestant community leader François Clavairoly, said it was impossible to protect every place of worship in the country.
“Everyone has to take responsibility, use best practice and keep an eye open,” he said.
But the Muslim leader Dalil Boubakeur, rector of Paris’s Grand Mosque, said religious leaders would like to see additional security. They “deeply desire that our places of worship are the subject of greater [security] focus, a sustained focus”, he said, according to the BBC.
