France is home to Europe's biggest Jewish and Muslim communities-AFP-JAN 09,15-YAHOONEWS
PARIS (AFP) - France, where police ended two hostage dramas Friday killing Islamist brothers wanted for the Charlie Hebdo massacre and a third suspected extremist who attacked a Jewish supermarket, has the biggest Jewish and Muslim populations in Europe.Between 500,000 and 600,000-strong, France's Jewish community is also the third biggest in the world, after Israel and the United States. France's Muslims are estimated at between four and five million.
- The Muslim community -
France has long had a difficult relationship with its Muslim minority that dates back to bloody struggles in its former North African colonies and the legacy of immigrants trapped in some of the country's poorest districts.Long decades of insurgency against French rule in Algeria in the mid-twentieth century, followed by a spate of Algerian terrorist attacks in France in the 1990s created difficulties for communal relations -- which reawakened with the rise of global jihadism after 9/11.This week's jihad-prompted massacre at Charlie Hebdo magazine has further stoked fears of Islamophobia in a country that has struggled to integrate its millions-strong Islamic minority.Algerians, whether by nationality or origin, are the biggest and oldest Muslim group in France and are estimated at more than 1.5 million.They come ahead of Moroccans who number around one million and Tunisians at 400,000. Sub-Saharan Africans, mainly from Senegal and Mali, represent several hundred thousand, along with Turks and Asian Muslims.The country has between 1,500 and 1,800 mosques and prayer rooms, the biggest and oldest of which is the Paris mosque built in 1922 in homage to the Muslims who fought for France during World War I.France's Muslims have been represented since 2003 by the French Council of the Muslim Faith (CFCM), a national elected body, which serves as an official interlocutor with the French state in the regulation of Muslim religious activities.
- The Jewish community -
At a time of mounting anti-Semitic attacks, more than 7,000 of France's Jews emigrated to Israel in 2014, more than double the previous year, according to the Jewish Agency for Israel.The organisation said it was the first time that France's Jews represented the biggest world contingent of the Alyah, a Hebrew term for emigration to Israel.The influx is expected to continue in 2015, the Jewish agency says, estimating that more than 10,000 new immigrants will make the journey from France.France has more than 500 synagogues and oratories, according to the Jewish Consistory which was created in 1808 by Napoleon I and remains the body which officially represents the Jewish faith in the country, electing the Grand Rabbi.Before World War II, the number of Jews living in France was estimated at 300,000. During the war, 76,000 Jews were deported from France by the Nazis with the help of the Vichy regime.From 1945, Jewish immigration to France resumed. Between 1955 and 1965, Jews arrived from North Africa after the end of French colonial regimes in Tunisia, Morocco and Algeria.
French imams rail against 'crazies who have seized our religion'-AFP-By Acil Tabbara-JAN 09,15-YAHOONEWS
Paris (AFP) - French imams condemned violence committed in the name of Islam during Friday prayers as the country reeled from the double hostage dramas that followed the massacre at Charlie Hebdo magazine.The same message -- distancing the country's five million Muslims from the jihadists responsible for the attacks -- was relayed at more than 2,300 mosques across France."We denounce the odious crimes committed by the terrorists, whose criminal action endangers our willingness to live together," said the rector of the Grand Mosque of Paris, Dalil Boubakeur.He also appealed to "all the Muslims of France" to take part in demonstrations planned for Sunday to pay homage to the 12 victims of the attack on Charlie Hebdo on Wednesday, the bloodiest in France in more than half a century.In local mosques across the country, imams condemned the jihadists who claimed they were avenging the Prophet Mohammed by shooting dead some of France's best-known cartoonists at the satirical weekly.Charlie Hebdo had angered many Muslims by repeatedly publishing cartoons that featured the Prophet as it lampooned Islamist extremists.Muslim groups had taken the magazine to court over the drawings but had lost."The people who carried out that attack in the name of Islam are not Muslims... The Prophet did not advocate violence against non-Muslims," Abdel Qader Achour, of the conservative Omar Ibn Al Khattab mosque not far from Charlie Hebdo's offices, insisted."France is our country, we have been here for three or even four generations, and we should not be afraid," he said as around one thousand of the faithful gathered to pray."To a cartoon you reply with a cartoon, to a drawing with a drawing, to a newspaper article with a newspaper article... But you don't reply with guns," said Mustafa Riad of the Union mosque in the southern city of Montpellier.Muslim theologian Tareq Oubrou, an imam in Bordeaux, in the southwest, said Muslims were furious that their religion had been "confiscated by crazies... and uneducated, unbalanced people".
- Fear of rise in hostility -
Muslim leaders fear that the Charlie Hebdo attack will lead to further hostility and attacks against their community.Prime Minister Manuel Valls insisted Friday that France was "in a war against terrorism", but not "against a religion", and President Francois Hollande appealed for a halt to emotive rhetoric and "stigmatisation and sorry caricaturing" of others.Since Wednesday's attack, shot have been fired and grenades thrown at several Muslim places of worship without causing injuries.Four shots were fired at the front of a mosque in Albi in the south and racists slogans scrawled on another in Bayonne in the southwest. On Friday a pig's head and its entrails were found hanging from the door to a prayer hall in Corte on the island of Corsica."I am afraid that their acts will get worse in the coming days," said Abdallah Zekr, the president of the French Muslim Council (CFCM), which monitors Islamophobic attacks."Muslims are caught in a trap, between those who kill in the name of Islam and those who are using this to stigmatise Muslims," he said.Up to 390 French jihadists are thought to be fighting in Syria, according to the latest estimates, and around 60 have died fighting with extremist groups there.Muslim Amine Guellil, a 47-year-old estate agent, said: "A good Muslim would never shoot anyone, those who do that cannot be Muslims."Two of the victims of the Charlie Hebdo massacre were Muslims, with policeman Ahmed Merabet shot in cold blood as he tried to stop the terrorists fleeing the seen, he said."There are several million Muslims in France, and the vast majority are integrated into French society," said Claude Dargent, a professor at Sciences Po university in Paris. "And for those who aren't, it's less a question of religion than their social and economic situation."
Charlie Hebdo gunmen and ally killed in dramatic siege climax-POSTED: 10 Jan 2015 07:33-CNA
PARIS: French elite forces killed the brothers behind the Charlie Hebdo massacre and an extremist ally on Friday (Jan 9) in a dramatic finale to three blood-soaked days that left 17 people dead and shook the nation to its core.Explosions rang out at sunset at two hostage sites around Paris as heavily armed police moved in for a fiery final showdown with gunmen who had kept France gripped with fear since 12 people were slaughtered Wednesday in the offices of the satirical magazine.On Friday the heavily-armed massacre suspects were cornered in a tiny town northeast of Paris while a third man took terrified shoppers hostage in a Jewish supermarket, where four died and seven were hurt including three police officers.As the drama reached its climax, chilling links emerged showing the brothers, identified as Cherif and Said Kouachi, and supermarket gunman Amedy Coulibaly were close allies and had worked together.Paris prosecutor Francois Molins said Coulibaly had "threatened to kill all the hostages" if police moved in on the Kouachi brothers, and he had said the supermarket was booby-trapped. The three all had a radical past and were known to French intelligence.Prime Minister Manuel Valls said the carnage they left in their wake showed there had been "clear failings" in intelligence.Cherif told French TV he was acting on behalf of the Yemen-based Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula while Coulibaly said he was a member of the Islamic State (IS) group. Coulibaly's girlfriend Hayat Boumeddiene, who was wanted by police in connection to the killing Thursday of a policewoman, was still on the loose.Outside the kosher supermarket, an AFP reporter saw at least one body lying at the scene, where the sliding glass door of the shop was completely shattered.As France's bloodiest week in decades drew to a close, with 17 dead and 20 injured, President Francois Hollande warned the threats facing France "weren't over". He described the attack on the supermarket as an "appalling anti-Semitic act" and said: "These fanatics have nothing to do with the Muslim religion."Hollande said he would attend a march of national unity in Paris on Sunday that is expected to draw hundreds of thousands of people as well as the leaders of countries including Germany, Britain, Italy and Spain.Some of France's best-loved cartoonists, as well as two police officers, were killed at Charlie Hebdo, a magazine which infuriated Muslims by repeatedly published cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed.On Friday, the mourning capital shone the words "Paris est Charlie" (Paris is Charlie) on the iconic Arc de Triomphe monument, playing on the phrase "I am Charlie" (Je Suis Charlie) that has taken centre stage at tribute rallies around the globe and featured heavily on social media.
GUNS BLAZING
Friday's drama first focused on the manhunt for the Kouachi brothers who were quickly cornered in a printing business in Dammartin-en-Goele outside Paris after a firefight with police which prosecutor Francois Molins said left Said with a minor neck wound.The brothers took the store manager hostage, later releasing him after he helped Said with his wound, while a second man hid upstairs, said Molins.The men had a hefty cache of arms including Molotov cocktails and a loaded rocket-launcher.One witness described a terrifying face-to-face encounter with one of the suspects, dressed in black, wearing a bullet-proof vest and carrying what looked like a Kalashnikov. The salesman told France Info radio that one of the brothers said: "'Leave, we don't kill civilians anyhow'."As French elite forces moved into place around the building, with snipers deployed on roofs and helicopters buzzing overhead, fresh terror descended on eastern Paris with a hail of gunfire around lunchtime.There, Coulibaly stormed a Jewish supermarket hours before the Sabbath, killing four shoppers and taking others hostage.Police swarmed to the Vincennes area, ordering terrified residents to stay indoors.As the sun set, the two Islamist Charlie Hebdo gunmen staged a desperate escape bid, charging out of the building with guns blazing before being cut down in their tracks. Shortly afterwards security forces moved in on the supermarket, where Coulibaly had just knelt to do his evening prayer when the special forces struck.BFMTV revealed police were able to exploit a lapse in his defences as he had not hung up his phone after speaking to one of their reporters. Coulibaly told the rolling news station he was a member of the Islamic State extremist group.A security source told AFP he had also called friends from the scene urging them to stage further attacks.
‘VIVE LA FRANCE’
The spectacular attacks came as it emerged the Kouachi brothers had been on a US terror watch list "for years".And as fears spread in the wake of the attack, the head of Britain's domestic spy agency MI5 warned that Islamist militants were planning other "mass casualty attacks against the West" and that intelligence services may be powerless to stop them.As the world rallied to France's side, US President Barack Obama was the latest to sign a book of condolence in Washington with the message "Vive la France!"And as a politically divided and crisis-hit France sought to pull together in the wake of the tragedy, the head of the country's Muslim community - the largest in Europe - urged imams to condemn terrorism at Friday prayers.
SLIPPING THROUGH THE NET
Meanwhile, questions mounted as to how three men well-known for extremist views and flagged in a US database as terror suspects could have slipped through the net.Cherif Kouachi, 32, was a known extremist who was convicted in 2008 for involvement in a network sending fighters to Iraq. His brother Said, 34, was known to have travelled to Yemen in 2011, where he received weapons training from AQAP.Coulibaly, 32 - who met Kouachi in prison - was sentenced to five years in prison in 2013 for his role in a failed bid to break an Algerian Islamist, Smain Ait Ali Belkacem, out of jail.The Islamic State group's radio praised them as "heroes" and Somalia's Shebab militants, Al-Qaeda's main affiliate in Africa, hailed their "heroic" act.While the immediate danger appeared to have cleared, a chilling new warning came from AQAP whose top sharia official Harith al-Nadhari threatened France with fresh attacks, the SITE monitoring group said."It is better for you to stop your aggression against the Muslims, so perhaps you will live safely. If you refuse but to wage war, then wait for the glad tiding."- AFP/fl
