A video that has gone viral. Posted on Sunday on social networks, we see and hear the imam of Bagnols-sur-Cèze (Gard), Mahjoub Mahjoubi, who presents a sermon that could appear to be hateful towards France. Words that quickly sparked a reaction.

I requested the withdrawal of his residence permit with a view to his expulsion from the territory” indicated the First Cop of France this Sunday.

We will no longer have all these tricolor flags which plague us, which give us headaches, which have no value with Allah. The only value they have is a satanic value.”
Before continuing: ‘do you see all these flags that we raise during matches? And we shout, we hit the Muslim on your head and we insult him with all the names. These satanic flags are worthless. What got them? imposed, it is quite simply so that we hate each other, that hatred is created in our hearts, so that we do not love each other. These slogans, they are in front unfortunately, well, all this will no longer have no value.” At the “request of Emmanuel Macron”, the fight against “radical and political Islam” followed by the General Directorate of Internal Security (DGSI) was intensified, indicated Gérald Darmanin in a tweet this Sunday.
