Announcing its legal action, the CCIE emphasized that «these remarks are not humorous» but instead «constitute incitement to hatred, spread a false and stigmatizing view of Islam, and fuel racist fantasies». The collective added, «They undermine the dignity of Muslim citizens and weaken our national cohesion».
Through this initiative, the association follows the lead of the Socialist Party Federation (PS) of Saône-et-Loire, which had announced the same action the day before. In a statement, the PS strongly condemned the «vile remarks» made by Alexandre Hinger, stating, «This is a frontal attack on our institutions, on the French beneficiaries of social rights, and on our fellow citizens of Muslim faith or perceived as such». Persisting with his rhetoric, the accused shared another post on his social media, alleging that the seventh pillar of Islam would be «the refusal to comply».
In this regard, the CCIE called for «a clear and firm response from the justice system to put an end to the impunity of these hateful speeches». Meanwhile, the collaborative platform for Maghrebis, Tajmaât, criticized the candidate and his party, which it claims surrounds itself with «radicalized individuals».
The "Party of France" surrounds itself with radicalized individuals.
Alongside its founder, Thomas Joly, is David Beaune, a neo-Nazi sentenced to 18 years in prison for throwing Imad Bouhoud into the port of Le Havre.

Muslim prayer room in France targeted in arson attempt
An attempted arson attack targeted a Muslim prayer room in Châtillon-sur-Seine (Côte-d'Or) during the night from Thursday to Friday, August 15. France's Interior Minister, Bruno Retailleau, took to social media to denounce the incident, describing it as «an anti-Muslim act of great cowardice». Local media reported that the department's prefecture revealed lit pamphlets were found wedged in the entrance door. The situation could have escalated into a tragedy if not for the swift actions of passersby who managed to extinguish the flames. In an interview with France 3 Bourgogne Franche-Comté, the town's mayor, Roland Lemaire, condemned the act, calling it criminal. «The door is slightly blackened. But symbolically, it is unacceptable», he asserted. Meanwhile, Le Parisien reported that, according to the gendarmerie, the incident occurred around 9:15 PM on Thursday evening, with newspapers being used to ignite the fire «in front of the prayer room». Last night in Châtillon-sur-Seine, individuals attempted to set fire to a Muslim prayer room. My thoughts are with the faithful affected by this anti-Muslim act of great cowardice. — Bruno Retailleau (@BrunoRetailleau) August 15, 2025 The religious leader of the prayer room intends to file a complaint. At present, there is no information available regarding the suspect or suspects involved.

French court overturns expulsion order, grants residence permit to Moroccan graduate
The administrative court of Cergy-Pontoise, northwest of Paris, has overturned the decision to deny a residence permit to Zahra*, a Moroccan national who recently graduated in France, where she has been living since 2018. Samy Djemaoun, a Paris-based lawyer representing the young woman, told Yabiladi that the court also annulled the order to leave French territory (OQTF) and the re-entry ban (IRTF) previously imposed on his client. The prefect has now been instructed to issue her a residence permit. The case began several weeks ago, when Zahra* discovered the measures against her only upon returning from a vacation in Morocco. Having earned her MBA in business management, she had hoped to start her career in the country where she has built her adult life. At Roissy–Charles de Gaulle Airport, a routine border police check took an unexpected turn when an officer emerged from an office and asked her to follow him. Held at the airport, she was informed that she was subject to an OQTF and a staggering 40-year re-entry ban, a situation her lawyer described as unprecedented in his career.

Trump Warns Putin of ‘Severe Consequences' if Alaska Talks Fail
Casablanca – US President Donald Trump has issued a stark warning to Russian President Vladimir Putin ahead of their high-stakes summit in Anchorage, Alaska, saying Moscow will face 'very severe consequences' if he refuses to agree to a ceasefire in Ukraine. The meeting, scheduled for Friday at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, comes amid mounting international pressure to halt Russia's full-scale invasion, now in its third year. Speaking to reporters in Washington on Wednesday, Trump confirmed he had held a 'very good' call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and several European leaders, including Prime Minister Keir Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron. Trump insisted the Alaska summit was a 'feel-out' session rather than a substantive negotiation, aimed at testing Putin's readiness for a temporary ceasefire. He also hinted at potential economic pressure, with US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent warning of further sanctions on Russia's trading partners if talks falter. In Moscow, Russian officials dismissed Europe's behind-the-scenes diplomacy as 'politically insignificant,' but signaled that the meeting would cover the full scope of US-Russia relations, not just Ukraine. Veteran Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov is expected to join the talks. Since the start of Russia's invasion in Ukraine February 2022, Zelensky and Putin have not met face-to-face. Trump's latest remarks suggest that could change soon. Read also: The Shockwaves of the Ukraine-Russia War in North Africa Tags: Donald TrumpUS and RussiaVladimir Putin
