Quran Desecration in Haute-Loire Mosque Prompts Strong Condemnation from French Muslims

"Muslims in France are deeply shocked and hurt by the desecration of copies of the Quran, which were torn and thrown on the ground by individuals who broke into a mosque in broad daylight in Le Puy-en-Velay (Haute-Loire department)," the French Council of the Muslim Faith wrote in a statement issued on US social media company X.

Hawzah News Agency- While noting that there were no victims, the group warned of the risk of such acts multiplying in a "toxic climate" recently fueled by "biased" surveys, reports, and stigmatizing proposals targeting Muslims.

"This desecration, which symbolically targeted the sacred book of Muslims within a place of worship, constitutes a serious Islamophobic act that reflects a hatred that must not be underestimated," the Council of the Muslim Faith added.

It noted that that the attack was aimed at "undermining the practice of living together and disrupting this atmosphere of serenity''.

"As an association, we will undertake all necessary legal measures and follow this matter with the utmost seriousness'', the statement added.
