French Mayor Fined for His Comment on Muslims

The Express Tribune

A far-right French mayor has been fined 2,000 euros for inciting hatred, when he declared that there were too many Muslim children in his local schools, BBC reports.

On 5 September Robert Menard, mayor of the southern town of Beziers, said on LCI television: "In a class in the city centre of my town, 91% of the children are Muslims. Obviously, this is a problem. There are limits to tolerance."

It should be mentioned that the French law prohibits data based on people's religious beliefs or ethnicity.
