A Month of Islam and Multiculturalism in France: June 2017<\/h3>\n

Soeren Kern | Gatestone Institute<\/a> | July 23, 2017<\/p>\n

June 1. Saber Lahmar, a 48-year-old Algerian who has lived in Bordeaux since his release from Guant\u00e1namo Bay in 2009, was charged<\/a> with \u201cterrorist association\u201d and placed in pre-trial detention. He is suspected of providing financial, logistical and doctrinal aid to French jihadists who were planning to travel to Iraq and Syria. Lahmar was arrested in Bosnia in 2001 after being accused of plotting to bomb the American embassy in Sarajevo. In November 2008, U.S. District Judge Richard J. Leon ordered Lahmar to be released from Guant\u00e1namo because there was insufficient reason to hold him. In December 2009, Robert C. Kirsch, a lawyer at the firm of WilmerHale, which represented Lahmar in federal court, said<\/a>: \u201cWe are grateful for the courage and generosity of the French people and government, and for the ongoing effort by President Obama\u2026which will now give Mr. Lahmar a chance to rebuild his life in France.\u201d<\/p>\n

June 1. A group of prominent intellectuals accused<\/a> French authorities of covering up the April 4 murder of a Jewish woman by her Muslim neighbor. Kobili Traor\u00e9 a 27-year-old Malian Muslim, tortured 66-year-old Sarah Halimi and threw her out of her third-story apartment. The letter criticizes the Paris Prosecutor\u2019s Office for omitting hate crime charges from a draft indictment against Traor\u00e9. They cited a recording of the incident made by another neighbor. In it, Traor\u00e9 can be heard shouting \u201cAllahu Akbar\u201d and calling Halimi \u201cdirty Jew\u201d to her face. Some observers believe the authorities covered up Halimi\u2019s murder to prevent it from helping Marine Le Pen\u2019s presidential campaign.<\/p>\n
