The members of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community of Epernay, Marne, whose mosque was vandalized on November 8th, have received a threatening letter from the vandal(s).
A french news website, Faits Religieux, has reported that the writer of the threat left a letter in the mosque's mailbox a few days ago which says, “The bougnouls (pejorative word for Arabs) out of France like they kicked french people out of Algeria! Bouniouls = Rascals = Rabbles ! We will be back to Epernay to destroy this [expletive] association!.”
As previously reported by Ahmadiyya Times, the Ahmadiyya Muslim mosque was vandalized during the night of the 7th and 8th November and several signs by the Bloc Identitaire, a far-right wing French nationalist political group, were pasted on the walls with swastikas or symbol of the Waffen-SS.
The sign-posters carried anti-Muslim and anti-migrants slogans such as "Burqas, Kebabs, Mosques ... Enough!”; “Being French is an identity, not papers!” or even” Right of foreigners to vote: Identity in danger!.”
According to Ahmadiyya Muslim Community of France, a complaint was filed the day after the November incident and the local police is still investigating the matter.
