The acts and anti-Muslim threats identified on French territory in 2011 increased 34% over the previous year, said Wednesday 1st February Abdallah Zekri, president of the National Observatory against Islamophobia, attached to the Council French Muslim Faith (CFCM).
"The actions and threats have been the subject of formal complaints to the police and gendarmerie have increased from 116 in 2010 to 155 in 2011, an increase of 33.9%," says Zekri. These figures are from Statistics Sub-Directorate General Information (SDIG).
Only for actions, SDIG statistics for 2011, concerning in particular the violence and assault, fire and damage, the number increased from 22 to 38 a year to the next. Several mosques have already been desecrated at the beginning of 2012. The fight against Islamophobia, however, is not a priority of government, which greatly worried Muslims in France.
"I wish that President Sarkozy, to whom I sent a letter in December, make a statement. He denounces these unspeakable acts. In short, he seeks to allay the concerns of Muslims who are citizens just like Christians or Jews, "said M. Zekri.
