You will burn in Jahannum: Director of 72 Hoorain gets death threats, his mother receives rape threats, ahead of film’s release

Ahead of the release of the much-anticipated film ’72 Hoorain’, director Sanjay Puran Singh Chauhan has been bombarded with threats and abusive messages on social media.

The upcoming movie exposes the dark face of Islamic terrorism from 9/11 to 26/11. As such, enraged Islamists abused the filmmaker with the choicest of expletives. They also mocked his Hindu faith and vowed to harm him physically.

“Your good time has come…Mother fu*ker,” wrote one Rashid Khan. “Send your mother, son of a prostitute. Your religion is fu*ked and hence you are tarnishing our religion now,” remarked one Hanzalah Shkk.

Other Islamists continued to give rape threats to the mother of director Sanjay Puran Singh Chauhan. “Why did you close your comment section? Are you afraid of us, Muslims? Good to see this fear for Muslims in you guys,” wrote another radical.

One Musharraf Ahemad made transphobic comments and referred to the national award-winning director as ‘pig’, and ‘hijada’ (eunuch).

One set of Islamists also used the opportunity to abuse the Hindu Faith of the director, making references to Hinduphobic slurs such as ‘cow piss’, which was popularised by Jaish-e-Mohammed terrorist Adil Ahmed Dar during the Pulwama suicide bombing attack.

Islamists, who live in their make-believe world of religious supremacy, tend to look down upon adherents of Dharmic Faiths. They believe all Hindus are idolaters, drink the urine of cows and are doomed for Hellfire.

“Assh*le, you will burn in jahannum (hellfire) and then you will know the truth. You just want to make a movie against Islam. No problem, just wait until you meet your end,” one Shabnam wished death upon the director of ’72 Hoorain.’

She also mocked his religious beliefs by deliberately referring to ‘Hinduism’ as ‘Hindu-gand-ism.’

Besides praying for the death of Sanjay Puran Singh Chauhan, some extremists also harassed him by consistently making both audio and video calls on Instagram.

Earlier, Bhojpuri actress Sabiha Shaikh, popularly known as ‘Rani Chatterjee’, hit out at the makers of ’72 Hoorain’ for supposedly making an anti-Muslim film.

“The depiction of the Quran in this movie is wrong. Quran does not teach to take anyone’s life. If the director or producer of 72 Hoorain had read the Quran, then, they would not have used such dialogues” she said.

Sabiha Shaikh alleged, “Where does Quran say to kill people? Can you show it to me? A wrong message is being sent (to the society). This is part of the agenda to spread hate.”

‘72 Hoorain’: Most anticipated upcoming movie

As per IMDb, ‘72 Hoorain’ is the most anticipated movie on a real-time popularity basis. Around 30.4% audience is waiting for the release of this film. It has left behind the movie ‘Gadar 2’, which is the sequel to the blockbuster hit Gadar: Ek Prem Katha released in 2001.

The film is scheduled to hit the theatres on July 7, 2023. It will have Pavan Malhotra and Ameer Bashir in the lead roles.

This will affect our relations: EAM S Jaishankar warns Canada after Khalistani posters threatening Indian diplomats emerge

On Monday, July 3, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar said that India will take up the issue of Khalistanis threatening Indian diplomats in posters circulated in Canada with the Trudeau government, and also talk to other partner countries where such issues keep emerging.

Speaking to the media, he added that India has urged its partner countries like Canada, the United States, the UK, and Australia not to give space to the Khalistanis. “This will affect our relations. We will raise this poster issue with the government of these countries,” he said. The statement came after Khalistani posters carrying threats to Indian diplomats were circulated in Canada.

The Indian High Commission reportedly sent a demarche to the Justin Trudeau administration on Monday due to the long weekend holiday in Canada and requested the Federal Government to take action against Khalistan extremists for targeting and threatening Indian diplomats.

The posters that reportedly emerged across Canada warned that a Khalistan freedom rally, held in the name of slain dreaded Khalistani terrorist Harjit Singh Nijjar will be organised on July 8. The poster read that the rally would be carried out from the Great Punjab Business Centre in Maltan to the Indian Embassy in Toronto. The threat poster also carried pictures of India’s high commissioner to Ottawa Sanjay Kumar Verma and the consulate general in Toronto Apoorva Srivastava, with the caption: Faces of Shaheed Nijjar’s killers in Toronto.

The poster audaciously mentioned the phone numbers of the organizers of the protest rally along with photos of their Indian diplomat targets.

While the poster for a protest rally in Toronto on July 8 named Indian High Commissioner Saurav Kumar Sharma and Counsellor Apurva Srivastava with photos and posters of a simultaneous rally in Vancouver named the High Commissioner and Counsel General of Vancouver Manish.

The poster read that the Vancouver protest rally will start from Guru Nanak Sikh Gurudwara, which had been taken over by Najjar and his cronies, and culminate at the Indian Consulate in Vancouver.

Meanwhile, a report by Hindustan Times said that the banned Khalistani terrorist group SJF has taken to social media to announce “kill India” rallies in eight countries on the same day.

Notably, the Khalistanis have blamed India to be behind the murder of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar who was shot dead in Surrey, Canada last month. SFJ’s legal counsel Gurpatwant Pannun described it as an “assassination.”

Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar

On June 18 (local time), Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar was shot dead in Surrey, Canada. He was a wanted terrorist by the Indian Government. Nijjar was the head of Guru Nanak Sikh Gurdwara Sahib. He was shot dead by two unidentified assailants within the Gurdwara premises. 46-year-old Nijjar hailed from the village Bhar Singhpura of Jalandhar.

His name was added to the list of designated terrorists recently by the Indian Government. In 2022, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) declared a Rs 10 lakh reward on Nijjar after his name appeared in a conspiracy to kill a Hindu priest in Jalandhar, Punjab.

Khalistan Tiger Force (KTF) was behind the conspiracy to kill the Hindu priest. Nijaar was the chief of the Khalistani terrorist organization KTF. Apart from his activities in KTF, Nijjar was also linked to the Khalistani terrorist organization Sikhs For Justice. He reportedly went to Australia for a ‘Referendum’ voting recently. NIA also booked him in a conspiracy to commit terrorist activities against India.

In its investigation against Nijjar, NIA found that he had made incriminating remarks, published objectionable content and shared media, including photos and videos on social media, with an aim to create tension in India.

In 2018, a list of wanted criminals was handed over by then-Chief Minister of Punjab, Captain Amarinder Singh, to Canada PM Justin Trudeau. Nijjar’s name was included in the list.

Hate crimes against Indians in Canada

Recently, hate crime against Indians has increased in Canada. On June 4 in a 5-km Sikh march in the Canadian city of Brampton, the pro-Khalistani elements featured a tableau glorifying the assassination of late Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi by her Sikh bodyguards. The tableau was a part of the annual Sikh Martyrdom Parade which saw the participation of a large number of people in the city where the largest number of Sikhs live in Canada.

In March 2023, a statue of MK Gandhi in Canada was vandalised and defaced with graffiti that expresses support for Khalistan and opposition to India.

On September 14, last year, in Toronto, several Khalistani terrorists spray-painted anti-Indian messages on the BAPS Swaminarayan Temple.  The Hindu temple’s walls were painted with the slogans “Khalistan Zindabad, Hindustan Murdabad.” The Indian High Commissioner in Ottawa had condemned the attack and demanded action to be taken, however, no strong action has been taken against the culprits till now. 

Although the Trudeau government maintained that it does not recognise the SFJ-backed so-called Khalistan Referendum, Canada’s National Democratic Party (NDP) has openly declared its support for the Khalistan Referendum in Canada, citing it as a basic human right granted to the Canadian Sikhs by local and international laws.

Odisha: IPS officer Sagarika Nath’s parents attacked and robbed in Bhubaneshwar

On Sunday night, 2nd of July, the parents of IPS officer Sagarika Nath were reportedly attacked and their valuables were looted by some armed miscreants in Odisha’s capital, Bhubaneshwar. Her parents were on the way to their residence in the Ghatikia area when the incident took place. 

The alleged crime occurred when her parents were headed back to their home. When they reached Satya Sai Enclave near AMRI Hospital, their car was intercepted by two bike-borne armed miscreants. The armed miscreants snatched their valuables including gold chains and money from them. 

It is further stated that Sagarika’s parents were also attacked when they resisted the attempt to rob them. The looters even damaged her parents’ car. 

However, the looters quickly fled the crime scene, abandoning their bike at the spot,  when the locals started to assemble. 

The incident came to light when Sagarika’s family filed a written complaint in this connection with Bharatpur police. Subsequently, the police swung into action and launched a manhunt to arrest the looters. They also recovered the bike used by the armed men from the spot where the incident took place. 

The investigation team has recovered the CCTV footage of the area to identify the culprits. IPS officer Sagarika Nath has previously served as Bhubaneswar Traffic DCP. Currently, she is posted as Balasore SP.

Rise in cases of snatching and theft in the region

Notably, the incidents of snatching and theft have spiked in Bhubaneswar and have posed a serious challenge to the Police. 

Earlier, on the 1st of July, two bike-borne miscreants snatched a gold chain from a woman in Vani Vihar. The CCTV footage of the crime went viral on social media.  

Similarly, another case was reported in the Laxmisagar area. Here as well, some bike-borne miscreants snatched the gold chain of a woman. 

Despite the Commissionerate police’s claim to increase patrolling, the growing incidents of gold chain, mobile, and purse snatching at gunpoint have become a serious issue for the residents of Bhubaneswar.

‘If you have money for advertisements, why don’t you have money for the project’ – Supreme Court directs AAP govt to submit details of ad spending for RRTS

‘If you have money for advertisements, why don’t you have money for the project’ – Supreme Court directs AAP govt to submit details of ad spending for RRTS

On Monday, July 3, Delhi Government came under fire as the Supreme Court criticised it for expressing its inability to provide funds for Regional Rapid Transport System (RRTS) project. A two-judge bench comprising Justice Sanjay Kishan Kaul and Justice Sudhanshu Dhulia directed Aam Aadmi Party-led Delhi Government to submit a detailed account of its spending on advertisements for the RRTS project in the past three financial years.

Notably, the apex court had directed the Delhi government to deposit 500 crores for the project within ten days in an order on 21st April 2023. However, on 3rd July, Delhi Government expressed its inability to deposit the funds. The court criticised the AAP-led Delhi government over the delay in the implementation of the Delhi-Meerut Regional Rapid Transport System (RRTS) project. The Central Government and the Uttar Pradesh government have already provided the funds that they were required to deposit for the project. The Delhi government, however, has shown reluctance in paying for the project, claiming the centre should bear the cost.

The court questioned the government why it did not make any provisions for the funds in the budget for a project that would ensure smooth transportation, considering it allocated funds for the advertisements. The court said, “If you have money for advertisements, why don’t you have money for a project that will ensure smooth transport?” Furthermore, the court directed the Delhi government to provide a detailed account on record of the money it has spent on advertisements for the RRTS in the past three financial years.

Background of the case

The Delhi-Meerut Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS) is a semi-high-speed rail corridor. The under-construction project will connect Delhi, Meerut, and Ghaziabad. It is part of three rapid rail corridors under Phase One of the RapidX project.

The Delhi-Meerut corridor is around 81.15 KM long. The distance between Sarai Kale Khan, Delhi Modipuram, and Meerut will be covered in just 60 minutes. The project’s estimated cost, as per the 2019 court document, was Rs 31,632 crore, which was supposed to be paid in a 60:40 equity ratio. The Central Government contributed Rs 5,687 crore, while the State of Uttar Pradesh contributed Rs 5,828 crore. Delhi was supposed to contribute Rs 1,138 crore for the project. However, in the 2018-19 budget, the Delhi government did not make any budgetary provisions for the project. The Delhi government argued that the Central government should bear the entire expenditure.

It was suggested by Amicus to utilise money available with the Delhi government under Environment Compensation Charge (ECC). At that time, Delhi govt had Rs 1,106 crore in the fund. The Delhi govt argued a major chunk of the funds was utilised by it as part of the court’s orders to buy electric buses. However, the court did not find the argument justifiable. The court then ordered the Delhi government to immediately release Rs 265 crore towards the project within ten days.

In the April 2023 orders, the court said, “There was apparently a reluctance on the part of the NCT of Delhi to contribute to the amount, and then via media it was found was that from the ECC fund collected, the amount should be allocated for deposit. Learned amicus has referred us to the order and has no objection to the releasing of Rs.500 crore on the same terms and conditions as set out in the aforesaid order. We accordingly direct the Delhi Government to contribute Rs.500 crore, which includes tax liabilities from the ECC fund, within ten days.”

The court further called upon the Delhi government to make the required budgetary provisions to ensure the remaining Rs 415 crore can be provided for the project.

Rajasthan: School teacher Nida Bahlim elopes with minor Hindu girl student, Hindu outfits protest calling it a case of ‘love jihad’

Tensions have gripped the Sridungargarh town in Rajasthan’s Bikaner district after a Muslim school teacher reportedly ran away with a minor Hindu girl student on June 30, 2023. The family of the minor girl has alleged that the accused teacher brainwashed the minor and lured her into taking the step.

A case has been filed based on a complaint filed by the minor student’s father, who has also accused the school staff and the teacher’s brothers Nadim and Javed of being complicit in the crime.

The matter reportedly pertains to a private school named A G Mission in Sridungargarh town. Media reports suggest that the accused teacher Nadia Bahlim is a relative of Abdul Gafoor, the owner of AG Mission School where she was teaching.

According to reports, a 25-year-old teacher of the aforementioned school, named Nadia Bahlim took the help of her brothers Nadim and Junaid and ran away with the minor student on 30th June 2023. The relatives of the minor victim alleged that the accused lured the student into running away with her. They have filed a case against the teacher and her two brothers.

Calling it a case of alleged ‘love jihad,’ members of various Hindu outfits protested outside the police station and demanded strict action against the accused. The Rajasthan police probing the matter have prima facie said that the girl student had accompanied the teacher of her own free will.

The girl’s father said in the complaint that the unmarried female teacher was increasing closeness with the student for almost two months.

The girl’s father also told the police that his young daughter left for school on Saturday at 7:30 a.m. but never came back. According to a police inquiry, the accused private school teacher, Nadia Bahlim, was also absent from the school on Saturday and is now missing. The victim’s family has also claimed that Nadia Bahlim along with her brothers Junaid and Naved hatched a conspiracy to kidnap their daughter.

The girl’s father has also accused the school administration of complicity in the conspiracy behind his daughter’s disappearance. According to him, the school staff members were aware of the disappearance of his daughter and Nida for a long time but kept quiet about it.

The victim’s relatives forwarded a copy of the complaint to DGP Rajasthan. OpIndia is in possession of the complaint copy.

Police have started the investigation by registering this case under sections 363, 366 and 120 B of the IPC and 84 JJ Act.

Tejaswini Gautam, the superintendent of police in Bikaner, has stated that both the girls went away with each other of their own free will and that four police teams had been sent out to trace them. He assured that the two would be located soon.

Meanwhile, as soon as the news of the incident spread, several members of various Hindu outfits gathered outside the police station and protested. Calling it a case of ‘love jihad, they accused the teacher of brainwashing and luring the victim into running away with her.

The incident has reportedly caused tension and resentment in the neighbourhood with locals and members of Hindu organisations warning to carry out protests if the accused are not nabbed and dealt with strictly.

CJI Chandrachud was watching Bharatnatyam, got up multiple times to oversee formation of larger bench for Teesta Setalvad’s urgent bail hearing

On the night of 1st July, a three-judge bench of the Supreme Court of India granted bail to controversial activist Teesta Setalvad, overturning the Gujarat High Court’s orders to surrender immediately. Setalvad is accused of fabricating evidence, tutoring witnesses, and defaming the Gujarat government in matters related to Gujarat Riots 2002.

It had come to light that when Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud was informed about the two-judge bench decision to forward the matter to a larger bench as they could not come to a unanimous decision on extending bail granted to Setalvad, he was attending a Bharatnatyam event. As per reports, CJI left the hall multiple times to ensure the formation of a three-judge bench to hear the matter urgently.

In a report, NDTV reported that CJI was at Chinmay Mission to attend the Bharatnatyam dance performance of Suvarna Vishvanathan, daughter of Supreme Court justice KV Vishvanathan. Most of the people linked to the hearing were present at the event, including Solicitor General Tushar Mehta.

Around 6 PM, after the dance performance commenced, Setalvad’s lawyers approached the Supreme Court against Gujarat High Court’s orders to surrender immediately. The hearing was scheduled for 6:30 PM before Justice AS Oka and Justice Prashant Kumar Mishra. SG Mehta was informed, after which he left the performance to represent the Gujarat government. After the two-judge bench could not reach a unanimous decision, the matter was forwarded to CJI, who was still at the event.

At around 7 PM, CJI was seen leaving the hall to discuss the matter. Meanwhile, SG Mehta returned to the event. Shortly after, CJI left for 10 minutes and came back to enjoy the performance.

Following the dance performance, he informed Justice BR Gavai and Justice AS Bopanna about the matter. They agreed to be part of the larger bench, including the two judges and Justice Deepankar Datta. The hearing began at 9:15 PM. At around 10 PM, the court granted Setalvad interim protection from the arrest.

Granting the bail to Teesta Setalvad, the bench said, “We are not going into the merits of the matter. We are only concerned with that part of the order which rejected the petitioner’s request for a stay. In ordinary circumstances, we would not have interfered. After the petitioner was arrested, this Court considered her request for interim bail. One of the factors which weighed with this Court in granting interim bail was that the petitioner was a lady and was entitled to special protection under S.437 CrPC. Considering this fact, the single learned judge ought to have granted some time…We stay the order of the single bench for a period of one week.”

Parties that follow dynasty politics will end soon: AIADMK spokesperson takes a swipe at NCP after Ajit Pawar joins BJP, becomes Deputy CM

After Ajit Pawar joined the Shiv Sena-BJP alliance and took oath as Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister on Sunday, AIADMK spokesperson Kovai Sathyan on Monday took a jibe at Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) and said that parties following or promoting dynasty politics, their end will be soon.

“If any party wants to promote or follow dynasty politics, their end will be soon, as time is fast changing and people’s expectations are fast changing. Everyone will follow the NCP model soon, this will spread from Bihar to Telangana and other states,” an AIADMK spokesperson said.

He said, “Probably Ajit Pawar believed that he had worked hard for the party and he deserves due recognition. When the high command doesn’t give enough attention to the hard-working cadets of the party, they have options and choices.”

Several Opposition parties have alleged that it was indulging in dynastic politics after Baramati MP and Sharad Pawar’s daughter Supriya Sule was appointed the party’s working president on Sunday. On Sunday, She said that she was proud of being the daughter of Sharad Pawar, and maintained that the party believed in democracy.

NCP leader Ajit Pawar joined the Shiv Sena-BJP alliance in Maharashtra and took oath as Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister on Sunday in a surprise and dramatic political move that changed political equations in the state ahead of Lok Sabha and assembly polls next year and has ramifications for national politics.

The day of hectic political developments in Maharashtra saw state Chief Minister Eknath Shinde using “hit wicket” cricket parlance in an apparent response to the “googly’ analogy used earlier by NCP leader Sharad Pawar to target BJP leader and Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis.

The move by Sharad Pawar’s nephew Ajit Pawar, which also saw eight other NCP MLAs joining the Shinde-Fadnavis government, came amid efforts by opposition parties to forge unity to take on the BJP in the next year’s Lok Sabha polls.

France: Rioters attack mayor’s house in suburban Paris, try to kill his wife and children

The large-scale violence and riots that broke out in France after Algerian migrant Nahel M was shot by police personnel last week, are still raging. On the night of Saturday, July 1, the rioters attacked the residence of Vincent Jeanbrun, a mayor from Paris’s suburban area.

Jeanburn was not at home at his residence at L’Haÿ-les-Roses, in suburban Paris, when some rioters tried to set fire to his family home. When the rioters attacked his house, Jeanbrun was reportedly in his office late on Saturday night, working in late hours to oversee the law and order situation.

The rioters used a car to ram into the gates of the house. After they got inside they set the vehicle on fire, in an attempt to burn the entire house.

Jeanbrun’s wife, Melanie Nowak, was at home with her 2 children when the attack happened. As per reports, when Nowak tried to escape from the burning house with her children aged 5 and 7, the rioters attacked the family with firework rockets, trying to burn the woman and her two children.

Nowak has suffered a broken leg while trying to protect her children. One of the children has also suffered injuries.

Elisabeth Borne, the Prime Minister of France, has severely condemned the attack on the mayor’s family. She has called it an attempt to murder and ‘intolerable’.

The attack on the mayor’s family has triggered widespread condemnation from the political class. Mayr Jeanbrun has said, “A line has been crossed”.

“It is a murder attempt of unspeakable cowardice. If my priority today is to take care of my family, my determination to protect and serve the Republic is greater than before”, he added.

Mayor Jeanbrun is from the center-right Les Republicains party.

Violence and riots in France

Riots have been raging in France since Tuesday, 27 June when Algerian teenager Nahel M was shot to death by two policemen. Nahel was stopped by the cops and was asked to show documents. When he tried to speed up and flee, the cops fired on him.

Son after Nahel’s death, the protests started in the western suburb of Nanterre, where Nahel was killed. It quickly spread across other regions, including the Hauts-de-Seine and the eastern city of Dijon. Reports suggest that a group of protesters set a bus on fire after ordering the passengers to get off the bus. The incident took place in the Essonne region.

In less than a week, the violence, arson, protests, and loot have spread almost all over France, causing a situation that many are calling similar to civil war.

As on Saturday, over 45,000 police personnel have been deployed across the country, and over 900 people have been arrested. Meanwhile, over 800 cases of arson have been reported in France.

You import garbage; you become weaker: As France burns, old video of Islamic cleric Imam Tawhidi warning West against the import of migrants goes viral

You import garbage; you become weaker: As France burns, old video of Islamic cleric Imam Tawhidi warning West against the import of migrants goes viral

Amidst the ongoing riots in France, an old video of Islamic cleric Mohammad Tawhidi, warning against the import of migrants to the country, has gone viral on social media.

In an interview dated September 9, 2022, the ‘Imam of peace’ talked about how Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) cannot operate in Muslim countries but freely operate in nations such as the UK, the US, Canada and Australia.

While speaking on combating extremism, Islamism and political Islam, Tawhidi said that terrorism is being executed in two manners. First, it is done within the Muslim world and second, outside the Muslim world.

Further, he explained that within the Muslim world, it is necessary to expose the corrupt clerics “by all means necessary”. Tawhidi said once, “You put doubt in me, I will change. I am a human at the end of the day. If you place doubt in me about someone, my heart will place question marks and then eventually switch.”

He added, “If there is enough evidence, we must expose them. The problem is fear and the lack of interest in wanting to expose the corruption within the Islamic seminary, within the books.”While explaining the problem with the Western narrative, Tawhidi said that it is “completely twisted when it comes to extremism”.

Giving an example of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), he said they could freely wave their flag in Toronto. He lamented how no one says that their ideology is about “blood and butchering people”.

Tawhidi gave an example from a general household. He said people consume goods daily, and some garbage is produced. The household then puts that garbage away, which is later collected by the municipal corporation. That garbage is not kept at home as it would create illness and bacteria.

“Society also has garbage. You have murderers and criminals, and then you have filthy garbage ideology where someone says you are a woman and you should stay at home, or someone says you are a woman and you need to cover your whole body (as) it is a private part. Someone says this guy is a Jew or Christian; they need to be dealt with. This ideology is filthy (and) cannot be respected,” he added.

While pointing out the crisis being faced by the Western countries, he said, “There is no crisis (in the Islamic world). The Muslim countries are doing good. Only in some places is there a problem. I say you are in a crisis. You went to the Muslim countries, and you imported the garbage that the Muslim countries wanted to put in prison or isolate away from society. You went, and you imported them for cheap labour. But these Islamist extremists do not want to work.”

Imam Tawhidi lauds Polish model of keeping extremists at bay

Imam Tawhidi said, “They want free welfare. They want to marry French women (with) blonde hair and blue eyes. They do not have time to work. Look at Poland. They do not complain about Islamic extremism. Not a single terrorist attack in Poland. The moment they sense there is a problem, they crack down on it. Polish policy is beautiful.”

Contrary to Poland, he added, the extremists come to France and use resources. They go to Washington, DC, and sit in Congress. “They support the Iranian regime. They go against the sanctions in Congress with their Hijab. Why? Because the ideology is filth, to begin with,” the Imam of Peace said.

“When you import that, or you allow it in, or you amplify or glorify it, in a way, you make your bed and sleep on it. So that is also a problem of the West. The question is, did the extremists become stronger, or did the West become weaker? I say it is both,” he emphasised.

France has been witnessing riots since the alleged killing of a 17-year-old boy named Nahel in a police shooting on June 27 (local time). Several cities in France are burning. The rioters have burnt down shops, public and private properties, vehicles, and residential buildings and looted several establishments.
