France will close establishments harboring radical Islamic views

The French government will use regulatory harassment to close establishments suspected of harboring radical Islamic views, following a defense council meeting. This decision, made during a Monday meeting chaired by President Macron, follows a previous council dedicated to examining the Muslim Brotherhood and political Islam. Key ministers, including Interior and Education, were present. The move, described by some as "administrative measures," aims to counter discreet radical rhetoric and comes after a period of heightened scrutiny of related activities.
