As you can see in the tweet embedded below, French Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin ordered to close down 9 mosques as part of ‘decisive steps against the Islamist separatism’.
France's crack down on radical Islam escalated after a teacher was beheaded for showing caricature of the Prophet Muhammad and 3 people were killed in a terrorist attack on a church in Nice, France.

Conformément aux instructions du Président de la République et du Premier ministre, nous menons une action déterminée contre le séparatisme islamiste.
