France has deported a Tunisian cleric who allegedly called the country’s flag satanic.
Mahjoub Mahjoubi, 52, was flown to North Africa just 12 hours after his arrest over sermons said to go against French values.
His deportation last Thursday is seen as a demonstration of tough immigration laws brought in by president Emmanuel Macron.
Mr Mahjoubi had gone viral on social media after apparently referring to France’s three-coloured flag as ‘satanic’.
He was arrested and deported despite living in the country since the 1980s and raising five children there.
Unlike them he did not have French citizenship and had his residency permit cancelled.
The order for expulsion read said in part:
that in sermons he had given a ‘retrograde, intolerant and violent’ image of Islam that would encourage behaviour against French values, discrimination against women, ‘tensions with the Jewish community’ and ‘jihadist radicalisation’.
The imam also referred to ‘the Jewish people as the enemy’ and called for ‘the destruction of Western society’, the indictment said.
So pretty status quo on Islamic teachings, generally (there may be exceptions).
My question is what can we do with the US born and raised folks who talk the same trash about our flag and country?
