Imagine the embarrassment of French authorities when they discover this mosque was not an outlier.
“Radical Islam: Allonnes mosque closes, government ‘uncompromising in the face of radicalization,'” translated from “Islam radical : la mosquée d’Allonnes ferme, le gouvernement «intransigeant face à la radicalisation»,” Le Parisien, October 13, 2021 (thanks to Medforth):
The prefecture of Sarthe announced on Wednesday that it had initiated a procedure for closing the mosque in Allonnes, a small town of about 11,000 inhabitants southwest of Le Mans, which welcomes around 300 faithful, and where sermons legitimize “the appeal to armed jihad.”
“According to the evidence collected, sermons and the activity of this place of worship, which is frequented by individuals belonging to or close to the radical Islamist movement, legitimize the use of armed jihad, death as a martyr, the commission of acts of terrorism, and the practice of violence, hatred and discrimination, as well as the establishment of Sharia law,” the Sarthe prefecture indicated in a press release.
The “inflexible” government
“We are inflexible in the face of Islamism, we are uncompromising in the face of hatred and radicalization,” government spokesman Gabriel Attal said during his weekly press briefing. “When the Republic is attacked, it must respond, it must respond strongly, and therefore we have initiated a procedure to request the closure of this mosque,” he continued, recalling that it had been initiated “on the basis of the law on internal security and the fight against terrorism which was recently passed.”
“In total, more than 650 places frequented by fundamentalists have been closed. During this mandate we have dissolved a dozen structures of worship, mosques, three times more than under the two previous terms combined,” he further underlined.
110 children in a Koranic school
The Allonnes Mosque also houses a Koranic school “welcoming around 110 children, in front of whom armed jihad has been recognized and which therefore constitutes a place of indoctrination,” says the Sarthe prefecture. Also, “under the terms of the law, all of these facts constitute statements made, ideas and theories disseminated, or activities inciting violence, hatred or discrimination, causing the commission of acts of terrorism or condoning such acts.”
“In view of these elements, at the request of the Minister of the Interior, the Prefect of Sarthe initiated a procedure to close this place of worship,” the prefecture’s statement concluded. The mosque is managed by two associations, the Allonnaise Association pour le Juste Milieu (AAJM) and the Al Qalam association.

Closing moskito pit just moves the effluent to a different sewer, you have to remove, close down the inhabitants, send to far away places, they will be still at it today, every day in another building, unit, or their homes, tents etc.
Walter Sieruk says
In the history of Islam and even now in this twenty-first century the mosque has not only been a gathering place for group prayer but also a military strategic planing center for the violent , deadly and destructive jihad.
Frank Anderson says
“Deliberate ignorance constitutes knowledge of the truth.” Standard, orthodox, ordinary, universal islam teaches and practices violent conquest. Whenever jihad is mentioned, it should be elaborated to be violent conquest, looting, slavery and murder. Unlike Christianity which teaches to spread the word and earn followers, islam teaches to force the choice, “convert, submit or die.” Ask between 250 and 1000 MILLION dead people about their killing over 1400 years. Everywhere the “religion of peace” lie is promoted is dominated by deliberately ignorant collaborators in the destruction of free society and the conquest by muslims.

@Bonsoir Frank,
“deliberately ignorant collaborators”
I doubt it’s possible to be deliberately ignorant, at best collaboration is caused by feelings of helplessness.
It has been said Vichy government wanted the best for France and hoped to save the French Jews (sic).

Kevin, it is most definitely possible to be deliberately ignorant. You can read the case Wyle v. R.J. Reynolds, 709 F.2d 585 (9th Cir. 1983) by searching online its name. Lawyers knew the truth and pretended they did not know. We see that same lie often today everywhere we look. It is not a joke. It is nothing to ignore or laugh about. This kind of lie will get many people killed or enslaved.
Lavéritétriomphera says
@Frank,
Bonsoir
I believe we have a semantic problem here.
“Lawyers knew the truth and pretended they did not know.”
That means the lawyers turned a blind eye, this is not the same thing as saying they were ignorant.
As far as I know Ignorance and knowledge are antinomical.
Amitiés
Frank Anderson says
Kevin, understanding and respecting the complexity of language translation, in US English, “turning a blind eye” is the same as “deliberate ignorance”, which is not the same as ordinary “ignorance” (lack of information). In that case (Wyle) and many others people pretend to believe what they want instead of what is true. leading to death and destruction of many, whether by cigarettes or terror attacks. Always best wishes to you. Frank
Lavéritétriomphera says
@Frank,
Salut à toi
I do not think that’s a langage problem, it’s a semantic problem.
For example the word islamophobia means nothing in French and in English simply because a phobia is an excessive and irrational fear reaction https://www.healthline.com/health/phobia-simple-specific.
Those who analyse totalitarian systems, have rational reasons to fear Islam even if right-thinking members of the society call them names including racist and islamophobe.
Therefore I stand by my words, we cannot be deliberately ignorant and have the nerve to say: “ We didn’t know”.
Amitiés
Frank Anderson says
Kevin, I have experienced in person deliberate ignorance at the hands of lying, corrupt, incompetent government agents and company managers. Whether we call it “looking the other way” or anything else, it is acting on a lie, leading to harm. How can a person “look the other way” without knowing the truth: They would not know which way to look? That is what is contemplated with the English word combination “deliberate ignorance”. That phrase is accepted and given legal status in US law specifically by the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, at the second highest level of appellate courts in the US. Since that case, Wyle v. R.J. Reynolds, was not appealed, it is persuasive, not mandatory, authority in all other US courts under Stare Decisis, which is not followed under Civil Law. France is certainly free to decide its language issues with my great respect. Frank

@Ami Frank
We are very fussy about the choice of words
And as far as I know deliberate ignorance doesn’t exist in the french criminal law contrary to unintentional offense and willful misconduct which could eventually be penalized according to the gravity of the fault.
Bien à toi

Lion heart says
Nothing surprised here because mosques around the world usually teach hate towards nonMuslims “ infidels “ especially towards Christians , and Hindus
DazzleMe says
Lion heart
I expect that ALL mosques around the world teach hate for anyone that is not muslim.

Appalling, Fred.
Muslims use the Holocaust–when they are not inspired by it…
Jon Sobieski says
The government should seize every asset, raze the mosque and sell off the land to non muslim buyers.
Check Burry says
Pig farmers should jump at the chance.

“France: Mosque closed after it was discovered to be preaching armed jihad, Islamic martyrdom, and terrorism”
Muslim clerics preach armed Jihad, martyrdom and terrorism from the Qur’an in every mosque.
Ugly Sid says
Big deal. Normal day. Normal mosque.
somehistory says
Ah, ahem, they **all** do that. The entire purpose of the barracks is to foment war by mozlums on the population in which they have managed to establish a “forward position.” Each barracks …one building or many in an “islamic center,” is a **Fort** for engaging in warfare against the infidel.
At one time, nearly 100 % of the mozlum barracks in the U.S. had terror materials available for anyone meeting there to simply pick up…brochures outlining how to engage in terror.
If France closed one due to its terror ties, they should consider closing all of them as they are all built for the same exact purpose….war, terror, submission by the infidel.
notnolib says
They closed a musque for teaching islam?
Weird.
Beneath the Veil of Consciousness says
Great point, notnolib. When will Western governments connect the dots of logic and realize it is Islam that is the problem. Before that time, it is just a game of whack-a-mole. These same adherents will reconoiter to determine a new base of operations to further their aim of submission by and for Islam.
Michael Copeland says
When? They are too afraid to admit how wrong they have been.
“Participating in a terrorist criminal association” is the charge facing those in the Charlie Hebdo trial. That phrase aptly describes being a muslim.
https://gatesofvienna.net/2020/10/participating-in-a-terrorist-criminal-association/
At least France is leading the way with these closures. It deserves credit for that.
somehistory says
You are so right. It’s a difficult thing, hurts the ego, to say, “I was wrong, wrong, so wrong,” and that is what the majority of the “leaders” need to say; first to themselves and then, to the public for which they are responsible.
One cannot solve a problem until it is recognized as a problem.
OLD GUY says
Somebody needs to send a message to Biden to stop the Muslim/Islamic migration invasion of America the he is leading. He’s doing nothing but bringing violence to the American citizens.
DazzleMe says
OLD GUY,
Biden already knows what he is doing along with his administration, as people are saying “it’s all by design.”
Biden is following through on New World Order or One World Government, which the rest of the world is a part of, especially China!

……………….
*Good*.. The problem is that this is orthodox Islam, and so there are many more Mosques just like this one…
