London, Oct 23 (TIWN) A well-known mosque in a northern suburb of Paris is going to be shut down by French authorities as part of their clampdown on Islamist groups and suspected extremists after a history teacher was beheaded last week outside his school.
The French police are investigating networks suspected of promoting extreme religious beliefs, spreading hate and encouraging violence. The interior minister, Gérald Darmanin, said the mosque in Pantin will be closed on Wednesday for six months. The mosque, which has about 1,500 worshippers, had posted a Facebook video about Samuel Paty days before the 47-year-old history and geography teacher was decapitated last Friday, The Guardian reported.
