Shafaqna English– French President Macron stated that there is no place for racism and religious hate in France, following the brutal stabbing death of a Muslim in a mosque in the southern part of the country.
“Racism and hatred based on religion can have no place in France. Freedom of worship cannot be violated,” Macron wrote on X in his first comments on Friday’s (25 Apr 2025) killing, extending his support to “our fellow Muslim citizens”.
The attacker, who is on the run, stabbed Aboubakar Cisse, a young Malian in his early 20s, dozens of times and then filmed him with a mobile phone while shouting insults against Islam in Friday’s attack in the village of La Grand-Combe in the Gard region.
