Pig heads left outside mosques in France

French police launched an investigation on Tuesday after pigs’ heads were found outside several mosques in the Paris region.

 1news.media reports, citing Al Arabiya, “Every effort is being made to find the perpetrators of these despicable acts,” Laurent Nunez wrote on X.

The heads were discovered on public roads in Paris and two nearby areas outside the city, a source close to the investigation told AFP.

Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau condemned the acts, calling them “outrageous” and “absolutely unacceptable.”

“I want our Muslim compatriots to be able to practice their faith in peace,” he said.

France is home to the largest Muslim community in the European Union, as well as the largest Jewish population outside Israel and the United States.
