Anti-Muslim Attacks Increased by 34% in France in 2011

These numbers are very conservative, however they are still quite alarming. If anyone has a better translation please forward it to us, this is my quick translation via. Google:

Anti-Muslim Attacks Rose 34% in France in 2011

(Le Monde)

On Wednesday, the 1st of February, the National Observatory against Islamophobia said that Anti-Muslim acts and threats listed on French soil in 2011 increased 34% over the previous year.

According to Abdallah Zekri, president of the observatory attached to the French Muslim Council, these figures are from Statistics compiled by the Sub-Directorate of General Information (SDIG), reported the AFP.

“The actions and threats that have been the subject of formal complaints to the police and gendarmerie have increased from 116 in 2010 to 155 in 2011, an increase of 33.9%,” says Zekri. Only for actions, SDIG statistics for 2011, concerning in particular the violence and assault, fire and damage, the number increased from 22 to 38 a year to the next.

“I wish that President Sarkozy, to whom I sent a letter in December, make a statement. It denounces these unspeakable acts. In short, he seeks to allay the concerns of Muslims who are citizens just as Christians or Jews, “said Mr. Zekri.

The original French:

Les actes anti-musulmans ont augmenté de 34 % en 2011

(Le Monde)

Les actes et menaces anti-musulmans répertoriés sur le territoire français en 2011 ont augmenté de 34 % par rapport à l’année précédente, a annoncé mercredi 1er février l’Observatoire national contre l’islamophobie.

Selon Abdallah Zekri, président de cet observatoire rattaché au Conseil français du culte musulman, ces chiffres proviennent de statistiques de la sous-direction de l’information générale (SDIG), communiquées à l’AFP.

“Les actions et les menaces qui ont fait l’objet de plaintes déposées officiellement auprès des services de police et de gendarmerie sont passées de 116 en 2010 à 155 en 2011, soit une augmentation de 33,9 %”, précise M. Zekri. Pour les seules actions, les statistiques de la SDIG pour 2011, qui concernent notamment les violences et voies de faits, les incendies et les dégradations, leur nombre passe de 22 à 38 d’une année sur l’autre.

“J’aurais aimé que le président Sarkozy, à qui j’ai adressé une lettre en décembre, fasse une déclaration. Qu’il dénonce ces actes inqualifiables. Bref, qu’il cherche à apaiser les inquiétudes des musulmans, qui sont des citoyens au même titre que les chrétiens ou les juifs”, a déclaré M. Zekri.

    They always have to slink about at night so no one sees them. If you have a disagreement with the owners of a property then have the guts to talk to them. Who knows…you may actually find common ground”

    So true!

  • khushboo

    oh farmer boy Andy don’t ya know what goes up must come down? You bigots can enjoy your last laugh because eventually good wins out over evil.

  • Farlowe

    Graffiti and arson really annoy me. The a-holes that do this kind of thing would not have the guts to do it while the owners of the property are there.

    Norway-progress party second biggest party, Swedish democrats entered parliament for first time, holland has the mighty Geert, Greece a nationalist party in government for the first time, ms le pen riding high in France, mr strache’s freedom party second biggest in Austria, jobbik in Hungary second biggest again,even the BNP picked up a million votes in the euros and the northern league in Italy in government.how’s that just for starters. And the economic collapse has only just begun, and where’s the left? no where to be seen. Lol

    Gang of Muslims planning to murder hundreds of people are in court this week, another gang of Muslims in court in liverpool next week for grooming young White girls. No mention of that though, theres a million Geerts in europe. You better believe it lol.

    I agree the community need to take safety more seriously and invest in tech to catch these a-holes.
    In my local mosque we have a security guard and a 24 hr patrol. It’s ironic the job got advertised and the best candidate was a Sikh brother. Everybody loves the guy.
    He walks about with his huge beard, turban and a massive sword/dagger and a massive cane for good measure! He is a top top geezer!
    Islamophobes would have a heart attack just by looking at him!

    The translation is fine @Garibaldi

    > “The nazi symbols confuse me too. Are Nazi sympathisers are ‘signing’ the graffiti with swastikas or does the graffiti somehow imply that the building is nazi? I don’t get it.”

    @Farlowe, I think the building belong to the Muslim community, maybe a Mosque, or a community center. From what I can read, those are intimidation signs, warnings the Muslim community there.

    Thanks for the tip! Sounds like a a great topic for a post. So many loons…so little time. :)

    @muhatap & Farlowe:

    It’s best not to try and rationalise the insanity of these types of people. I don’t think they can rationalise their own logic.

    This is a bit off topic, but I’m full of glee this morning over something we should have see coming.

    The German government has apparently published a pamphlet that links Geert Wilders with feeding Nazis and extreme right hate in Germany.

    Duhhhh!

    Wilders, the Champion of Free Speech, is upset and wants the German ambassador summoned (well like he’s a common Muslim). If I were the German ambassador, I’d go and give the Dutch foreign ministry and earful about allowing this radicalized “Islam critic” the ability to travel on the Dutch taxpayer’s eurocent to spread hate and divisions – and terrorist violence throughout the Western world.

    Wilders is actually the most radicalized individual in the Western world and its about time that governments wake up to the threat imposed by this “critic of Islam.”

    I’d like to see Loonwatch’s take on this. We knew it was coming from someplace.

    Thanks Germany – you’ve made my day !

    The nazi symbols confuse me too. Are Nazi sympathisers are ‘signing’ the graffiti with swastikas or does the graffiti somehow imply that the building is nazi? I don’t get it.

    Sad, indeed. What’s more sad to me is that the entire world still regards France as home to “bright civilazation”. Writers, columist, all sorts of intellectuals in France should be protesting this.

    Also, nazi symbols on moqsue walls in “France” doesn’t make sense to me. Didn’t this nation suffered the most in the hands of nazis?

    President Sarkozy

  • QualifiedAgnostic

    My impression is that he is largely a slime ball. He will anything for votes. Him and Mitt Romney over here in America must have been brothers that were somehow separated at birth…

  • mindy1

    Sad either way :(
