In France, young Muslims have been threatened and attacked for celebrating Christmas. The 20-year-old from Belfort, eastern France, posted pictures of his Christmas dinner on the Internet, police said Saturday.
That is why he was initially insulted and threatened by an acquaintance through online networks. “I will show you what a true Arab is,” it said in the message.
Later, the 20-year-old agreed to have a conversation with his friend. However, five people were waiting for the young man at the meeting point. They attacked him and warned him not to report the attack to the police. The 20-year-old still reported the attack.
The president of the Grand Est region, Jean Rottner, was shocked by the incident. On the short message service Twitter, he spoke of an unacceptable attack that was caused by racism and hatred of the police. The father of the 20-year-old is a policeman. The young man was also attacked on the Internet for this reason. (cma / sda / afp)
