France
on Wednesday deported a Tunisian imam accused of inciting "violent jihad,
uttering anti-Semitic remarks and justifying the use of violence against
women."
The Interior Ministry said in a statement
that Mohamed Hammami, 76, was deported to his native country Tunisia as the facts
alleged against him were particularly serious.
The government has decided to be
"uncompromising towards those who utter hate speeches against the Republic
and our values, and to expel officials and religious activists who advocate
radical Islam," Interior Minister Manuel Valls was quoted in media reports
as saying.
Earlier in October, French police had
launched a nationwide anti-terrorist raid to dismantle a radical Islamists
cell. One suspect of a grenade attack on a Kosher grocery was killed during the
raid and 12 others were arrested.
