(Jewish Group) France deporting imam for harmful antisemitic hate speech
According to a tweet from French Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin, citing a decision made by the Council of State, "The Council of State validates the expulsion of Mr. Iquioussen who propagates particular antisemitic comments and contrary to equality between women and men."
"This is a great victory for the Republic. He will be expelled from the national territory," Darmanin said in his tweet.
According to Reuters, on August 5, an administrative court in Paris suspended the deportation order against Iquioussen after the interior ministry ordered the deportation in July for alleging that he had given "a speech fill with incitements of hatred and discrimination."
The ministry said that he was also "promoting a vision of Islam contradicting the values of the Republic," according to multiple French news outlets.
