Ranskan poliisi pidätti 19 islamistia tehoiskuissa

Ranskan tiedustelupoliisi DCRI yhteistyössä poliisin erikoisryhmä RAIDin kanssa pidätti perjantaiaamuna 19 epäiltyä islamistia iskuoperaatioissa eri puolilla Ranskaa. Tehoiskut toteutettiin kahdeksan päivää sen jälkeen, kun poliisi pitkällisen piiritystilanteen jälkeen ampui Toulousen ampujan Mohamed Merahin.

Poliisi teki tehoiskuja Toulousessa, Le Mansissa, Nantesissa, Pariisissa ja Lyonin sekä Alpes-Côte d'Azurin alueilla.

Pidätettyjen epäillään toimineen merkittävissä rooleissa jihadistimyönteisessä Forsane Alizza -fundamentalistiryhmässä, jonka sisäministeri pyrki hajottamaan helmikuun 29. päivän jälkeen, kertoo ranskalainen Le Figaro -lehti.
...
Ranskan presidentti Nicolas Sarkozy määräsi Merahin kuoleman jälkeen, että poliisi arvioisi radikaalia islamia tunnetusti tukevien henkilöiden vaarallisuuden. Presidentti kertoi perjantaina Europe 1 -kanavalle uusista toimista ääri-islamisteja vastaan sekä mahdollisista maastakarkoituksista.

Sarkozyn kommentit pidätyksiin liittyen:

Mr Sarkozy told Europe 1 radio after Friday's raids: "It's our duty to guarantee the security of the French people. We have no choice. It's absolutely indispensable."
...
Mr Sarkozy told Europe 1 on Friday that arrests of suspected radical Islamists "would continue and that will allow us to expel from our national territory a certain number of people who have no reason to be here".

Four Islamic clerics banned from entering France

Four high-profile Islamic clerics were banned from entering France Thursday over what the government said were concerns that their "calls for hatred and violence" posed a threat to public order.
President Nicolas Sarkozy had wanted to ban the high-profile Islamic clerics from attending the conference next month in the wake of a series of killings by Al-Qaeda inspired gunman Mohamed Merah that shocked France.
Saudi clerics Ayed Bin Abdallah al-Qarni and Abdallah Basfar, Egyptian cleric Safwat al-Hijazi and a former mufti of Jerusalem Akrama Sabri are banned from entering France, a statement said.
"These people's positions and statements calling for hatred and violence seriously damage republican principles and, in the current context, represent a serious threat to public order," said the statement from Foreign Minister Alain Juppe and Interior Minister Claude Gueant.

The ministers also voiced "regret" that prominent Swiss intellectual Tariq Ramadan has been invited to the April 6-9 meeting organised by the Union of Islamic Organisations in France (UOIF).
They said his "positions and statements are against the republican spirit, which does not do any service to France's Muslims".
France cannot prevent Ramadan from entering as Switzerland is a member of Europe's visa-free Schengen zone.
Influential Qatari preacher Yusuf al-Qaradawi and Mahmud al-Masri of Egypt have decided not to come for the conference, the statement said.
Ramadan is considered one of Europe's leading Muslim thinkers and was an advisor to former British prime minister Tony Blair.

Sarkozy said on Monday that Qaradawi, 86, an influential Qatar-based Sunni Muslim cleric, was not welcome in France.
Qaradawi, who hosts a popular show on Al-Jazeera satellite television, backed the Arab Spring uprisings in Tunisia, Egypt and Libya, and has launched a fund-raising effort for the Syrian opposition.
That ban, which has now turned into a withdrawal, was criticised by the International Union of Muslim Scholars which Qaradawi heads.
The union said that Qaradawi is "a moderate scholar who contributed to combating extremism in Islamic thoughts."
The cleric is accused of having made anti-Semitic and homophobic statements and was banned from entering Britain in 2008. He has been banned from entering the United States since 1999.

Minusta Qaradawin Ranskan bänni olisi ollut syytä jäädä voimaan.
Islamistinen homofobia ja antisemitismiä ei ole leikin asia.
Vaan ero elämän ja kuoleman välillä.
Sarkozyn pitäisi jo tämän ymmärtää.
