The Rector of the Great Mosque of Paris called the text signed by 300 leading French figures “an unjust and delirious trial” against French Muslim citizens. Dalil Boubakeur warned that the tribune “presents an obvious risk of pitting religious communities against each other.”
The tribune comes on the heels of a similar text signed by 200 leading intellectuals denouncing the “Islamization of France”.
