A dead boar deposited in front of a Muslim shop in Toulouse
“It’s an act of intimidation, I’m afraid for my children” explains Djamel Sekkak, the owner of the Muslim funeral agency Al Isra Oua Al Miara located in the Barry shopping center. This Monday around 7 am when he arrives at work, he discovers a dead boar inserted on a panel in front of his company. “It’s a provocation, an insult, two years ago they broke my whole window, I think it’s the same people” he says, “We also tagged my offices in Toulouse by writing Arabic sales outside, leave the country”. No doubt for the little boss, it’s an Islamophobic act.
The police were carrying out technical surveys and hearings between 8 a.m. and 3 p.m. on Monday. Then the bloody animal was carried away “by city hall staff” specifies Djamel Sekkak who intends to file a complaint, “We’re not going to let that happen” drop the contractor “unfortunately this is the 4th or 5th complaint and nothing is happening”.
“There is a lot of talk about us Muslims on television,” “people are worried” while my business “was the first Muslim funeral company in France” and “it is for everyone, Jews or Christians”, “we are a family business”. “Since 2015 it has become dramatic and we are fearful” laments the Toulouse.
