France Flexes Muscles at Troublesome Muslims; Will Now Expel Those Who Threaten Its Security

France -- which has more Muslims than any other country in Europe -- will now expel any foreigner who threatens security at home or abroad in the name of Islam, or does not respect the country's secular traditions, Interior Minister Manuel Valls said yesterday (September 27, 2012), according to the Expatica website.

"The preachers of  hatred, those espousing obscurantism and fundamentalists... do not have a place in France," he said at a ceremony to inaugurate a grand mosque in the eastern city of Strasbourg.

"Those who are on our soil to defy our laws and want to attack the foundations of our society cannot remain here," Valls added.

The new mosque -- which can hold 1,500 worshipers -- is the largest in France, home of some four million Muslims.
