In Valencia, the mosque received an Islamophobic letter. “A good Muslim is a dead Muslim. Justice for Thomas »is it written in this letter accompanied by a caricature of Charlie Hebdo showing the Prophet Muhammad naked, said Mustapha Laqlii, spokesperson for the Al Fourqane association, which manages this mosque. “We denounce these unacceptable death threats and we condemn the murder of young Thomas, there is no doubt about it”said the spokesperson, confirming information from France Bleu.

“The Muslim religion does not condone this type of act. She condemns them and we regret the amalgam that is made between Muslims who apply the laws of France and these criminals who, if it turns out that they claim to be Muslims, in no way represent the values ​​of Islam. »added the spokesperson.
