Islamophobic hatred has taken another step into racist horror, amidst
the indifference of the political class, which thrives in thisnauseating climate. While our thoughts are with the victim's loved ones,
our fight against racism will not weaken. ---- On Friday, April 25, the
day of the great prayer for Muslims, a horrific murder took place in the
Grand-Combe mosque in the Gard department. Aboubakar Cissé, a
24-year-old of Malian origin, was stabbed more than 40 times until he
died while showing his attacker how to pray after the attacker had asked
him to do so. The murderer then filmed himself in front of his victim,
claiming to have committed an Islamophobic act.
Our thoughts go out to his loved ones who have lost a loved one, and to
his community, which is increasingly threatened and attacked every day
in France.
Political leaders, from Macron's party to the far right, and the
media-who constantly propagate and fuel racist and Islamophobic
hatred-have blood on their hands. The Republic has blood on its hands.
Stigmatization, everyday racism, arbitrary arrests, criminalization of
support for the Palestinian struggle, stinking statements-all this
trivialization of hatred of Muslims, of women who wear the veil, of
Islam-all of this has very real consequences.
We will stand with all those who suffer Islamophobia.
Racism kills; there is no step back from it. Libertarian Communist
