France: Muslim cleric is dismissed at the behest of the Interior Minister for quoting the Qur’an and Hadith

The Mullah - Mmadi Ahamada

Jihad Watch : Surah Ahzab is the 33rd chapter of the Qur’an. This story doesn’t say what Mmadi Ahamada actually quoted from the Qur’an and Hadith, but if quoting the Qur’an and Hadith can get you removed as an imam in France, what do French authorities think other imams are quoting?

The Bhagavad Gita? The firing of Mmadi Ahamada shows the willful ignorance and denial at the heart of the French response to jihad violence and Sharia oppression. How long can they pretend that the contents of the Qur’an and Hadith are “extremist,” and that every imam who remains on the job isn’t quoting them? At some point France will have to come to terms with what the Qur’an and Hadith really say, and what the implications of their contents are, but by then it will likely be far too late.

“Ahamada said some of the statements and verses in the sermon were taken and used out of context.” Of course! When has an Islamic supremacist spokesman not been taken out of context? “Mosque imam sacked in France for reciting verses deemed ‘contrary to values of Republic,’” by Anadolu Agency, July 24, 2021:

The imam of a mosque in France’s Loire region was dismissed at the behest of Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin, on the grounds that the verse and hadith the former recited in the Eid al-Adha prayer sermon were deemed “contrary to the values of the Republic.”

Imam of the Saint-Chamond Grand Mosque in France’s Loire region was dismissed by the order of the interior minister, on the grounds that the verse and hadith he recited in the Eid al-Adha prayer sermon were deemed “contrary to the values of the Republic”. Mmadi Ahamada, the imam of the Great Mosque of Saint-Chamond, who is of Comoros origin, shared a hadith and Surah Ahzab verses addressing the wives of the Prophet Muhammad in his sermon.

After Isabelle Surply, a member of the Municipal Council of the Republican Party, shared a video of the sermon online, Darmanin asked the Loire Governor’s Office to dismiss the imam and ensure that his residence permit is not renewed, on the grounds that “he finds these statements unacceptable” and “sees them against gender equality”. Speaking to Le Progres website, Ahamada said some of the statements and verses in the sermon were taken and used out of context.

“Our girls do not have to stay at home, they become doctors, engineers or pilots,” he added. In a message on social media, the mosque administration announced that the imam has been dismissed…. On Late Friday, Lawyer Sefen Guez, a human rights advocate, criticized the French interior minister for targeting imams and for asking the governor to dismiss the imam. “The Saint-Chamond Mosque has confirmed what everyone knew: imams are appointed by governors in France,” he said on Twitter. Media expert Sylvain Tirreau accused Darmanin of having hatred towards Islam and said the interior minister did not give up on his attempts against Muslims.

Meanwhile, a petition campaign was launched in France to support Mmadi Ahamada.
