PARIS: Pig heads appeared outside at least nine mosques in and around Paris on Tuesday, authorities said, with French President Emmanuel Macron’s name scrawled on five of them. Authorities did not say who could be behind the attacks but pledged support for France’s Muslim population at a time of rising anti-Islamic sentiment. France has Europe’s largest population of Muslims, over 6 million, for whom eating pork is forbidden. “I want our Muslim compatriots to be able to practice their faith in peace,” Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau told reporters.

Emmanuel Macron a exprimé, mardi, son « soutien » à la communauté musulmane, a rapporté l’entourage du président de la République auprès de l’AFP.

The Grand Mosque of Paris rector denounced the actions as ‘a new and sad stage in the rise of anti-Muslim hatred’.
