Cross, anti-Islamic slogans were inscribed on walls of mosques, affiliated to the Turkish-Islamic Union for Religious Affairs (DITIB), in the cities of Montlebon, Pontarlier and Roubaix late Saturday.

“We condemn the ugly attack on our mosques and wish our community well,” said DITIB, the largest Turkish-Muslim association in Europe.

The association also thanked the security forces and the French authorities for their cooperation as well as the French people for their support.
