For Yasser Louati, spokesperson for the Collective Against Islamophobia in #France, such official “racist” remarks are nothing new and only “confirm the sentiments of members of this current government towards minorities”.
“The marginalization of Muslim women is not new, it dates back decades. The only difference about the Islamophobic and racist nature of those words is that they were said openly and publically at that time,” Louati told Anadolu Agency.
He added that the way “those words are being said by a member of the government is just a continuation of this government’s hypocritical and openly racist policy.”
