When it reopens, it will preach loyalty to the French secular state, right? Won’t it? Those six months will fix everything, won’t they?
“The Beauvais mosque closed for six months, Gérald Darmanin announces,” translated from “La mosquée de Beauvais fermée pour six mois, annonce Gérald Darmanin,” Le Figaro, December 14, 2021:
Last Friday, December 10, the prefecture of Oise reportedly announced the closure for six months of the Bilal mosque, located not far from the city center.
The imam of the place of worship, built in 2014 with the support of the town hall, is said to have made remarks inciting hatred against Christians, Jews and homosexuals.
Tuesday, December 14, the Minister of the Interior, Gérald Darmanin, announced the closure of a Muslim place of worship in Beauvais (Oise), due to Islamist sermons. “Today we have initiated the closure of the Beauvais mosque, (which is) completely unacceptable which fights Christians, homosexuals, Jews,” he declared on Cnews, confirming information from Courrier Picard.
The prefecture of Oise reportedly announced Friday, December 10 the closure for six months of the Bilal mosque, located not far from the city center. The mosque was built from 2014, encouraged by Senator-Mayor LR Caroline Cayeux. Within the framework of an adversarial procedure, the persons in charge of the association “Espoir et fraternité,” which manages the place of worship, have the possibility of defending themselves to the prefect within the following ten days. But as the lawyer of the association Samim Bolaky reminds the Courrier Picard, “in the vast majority of cases, this results in a closure.”
State services in the Oise have identified “several sermons that incite hatred, violence and condone jihad” on the part of the main imam. The speeches are mostly transcribed on YouTube by the great mosque, which facilitated the investigative work. “The imam maintains that the remarks in question relate to reported facts dating back more than 1400 years, in particular on the first two main wars in the history of Islam, hence a particular lexical field. He probably did not have the delicacy to speak in the past tense,” explains his lawyer. The survey also shows radical discourse, in particular on homosexuality. “The imam only gives the point of view of religion to a question put to him. This question was: is homosexuality allowed in religion?” explains Samim Bolaky.
If the prefect decides to close the place of worship, the association could rely on the administrative court, judging a closure “completely disproportionate” and coming “to penalize the entire Muslim community of Beauvais,” further indicates the lawyer.
Buraq says
If Arabic is the language of Allah, given that Al Qur’an was ‘revealed’ in Arabic to Mo, then why does it have a past tense and a future tense? Allah is eternal. The past and and the future do not exist. Allah exists in an eternal present!
Just asking. :))
mortimer says
Buraq, you are suggesting that Allah is not perfect? Blasphemer! You know what your punishment is.
Michael Copeland says
Unfortunately for the French state ‘hatred, violence, and jihad’ are mainstream basic Islam.
It is right for the State to apply French law to the mosque, just as to any church, temple, or synagogue.
Nevertheless the Learning Curve awaits French politicians, except for Eric Zemmour, who knows Islamic doctrine well.

Appalling, Fred. Thanks for that link.

When it reopens, the mosque will resume teaching normative, discriminatory, misogynistic Islam, since that is what Mohammed taught.
Here is a list of the unacceptable things the re-opened mosque will teach, because they are normative Islam, rather than aberrations:
1)-Islamic culture cannot progress because it has no mechanisms for self-criticism.
2)-Mohammed’s characters flaws are a liability in the modern world because Muslims are called to imitate them. Mohammed practices pedophilia, polygamy, plundering, slavery, assassinations.
3)-Muslim Women are the world’s last slaves
4)-Sharia Law discriminates against women and others
5)-Persecution of religious minorities is a way to make them submit to Islam
6)-Persecution of Gays
7)-Cruel and unusual punishments
8)-Doctrine of jihad requires all Muslims to participate in some way.
9)-Doctrine of taqiyya in an age of transparency requires Muslims to conceal jihad
10)-Central Koranic doctrines may not be practiced, i.e. jihad, jizyya, slavery, FGM
11)-No Golden Rule – al-Walaa wal-Baraa is Islam’s defective and selective morality- it is opportunistic
12)-Inconsistent revelations of Mohammed based on mental illness, bewitchment, abrogation & Satanic verses
13)-Repression of women-modern women have much to lose and much to fear from Islam
14)-Vigilantism is supported in Sharia law. Private Muslims may enforce fatwas (death sentences pronounced by a mullah). The French have seen a number of citizens murdered in cold blood for using their freedom of expression.
The mosque has no other program to teach besides the above-mentioned teachings which are alien to the French republic’s philosophy of individual rights and equality.

Six months?? A slap on the wrist. KEN
Daniel Triplett says
The mosque imam will spend the next 6 months putting his members through intensive Taqiyya workshops, reviewing the principles of Islamic deception and proper identification of which of the 3 Stages of Jihad their region is in, and the appropriate behaviors, actions, and aggression commensurate for each specific stage.
Keith O says
Only 6 months?
This barracks should have been closed permanently. Along with every other mudslime barracks in every non mudslime country.

France: Mosque preaching ‘hatred, violence, and jihad’ closed for six months
……….
Well, that’s better than nothing. But will the same Imam be preaching there? Is Islam itself going to magically change in the next half year?
