Deputy editor of French newspaper Le Figaro Yves Threard was condemned after arguing during a television appearance that Islamophobia doesn’t exist because everyone has the “right to hate religion.”

During a broadcast of Le Grand Soir (the grand debate) on Monday night, Threard brazenly stated, “I hate the Muslim religion.”

The comments were made in the context of a discussion surrounding the banning of the Islamic veil in public as well as the recent murder of 4 people at a police station in Paris by a man who had converted to Islam.

Julien Odoul, a member of France’s populist National Rally party, related the story of how he and his colleagues “had asked the president of the Regional Council in France, Marie Guite Dufay, to tell a veiled Muslim woman accompanying her son at a school activity to remove hijab or leave,” reports Morocco World News.

Dufay refused to ask the woman to leave, accusing National Rally of whipping up a “surge of hatred” and being “unworthy of elected officials of the republic.”

Threard responded by saying he had once left a bus because he saw a woman wearing the full veil and that Islamophobia “does not exist,” because everyone has the “right to hate religion.”

In the same country where Islamic jihadists slaughtered Charlie Hebdo cartoonists for expressing similar views, numerous public figures piled on to denounce Threard.

“Thank you for the idea,” tweeted journalist Samuel Gontier. “From now on, I will wear a veil to take the bus to avoid any meeting with Yves Threard.”

“This month of October is particularly violent, I feel that everyone is freewheeling. When will it stop,” asked journalist Jennifer Pademi.

A Syrian migrant shouting in Arabic about Allah ploughed a truck into traffic in the German city of Limburg, injuring 9 people in an incident being treated as a terrorist attack.

The suspect dragged the driver of a white Mercedes truck from his vehicle before accelerating into other cars at a traffic light.

Witnesses said the terrorist said “Allah” several times and spoke Arabic.

It’s a miracle that the man didn’t choose to plough into pedestrians, which would have undoubtedly caused more fatalities.

The fact that the assailant was a Syrian migrant will lead to more criticism for Angela Merkel over her policy of opening Germany’s borders in 2015 to around 2 million “refugees,” many of them from Syria.

The deadlier 2016 truck attack at a Christmas market in Berlin, which killed 12 people and injured 56 others, was carried out by a failed Tunisian asylum seeker.

Last week, a knifeman who had converted to Islam and been radicalized by ISIS propaganda killed 4 people in a terrorist attack on a police station in Paris, France.

Muslim taxi drivers in Austria are refusing to transport blind people with guide dogs because dogs are seen as being unclean in Islamic culture.

Tiroler Tageszeitung reports on how a former board member of the Association for the Blind, who is totally blind herself, ordered a taxi to drop her off at Innsbruck airport.

However, when the taxi arrived, the driver refused to take her dog.

Taxi operators Anton Eberl and Harald Flecker apologized for the incident but stressed that they only mediate calls and do not own the taxis.

“We try to make it clear to the drivers again and again that this is not the case for us and that these trips have to be carried out exactly like any other job. Unfortunately, at the moment we are not in a position to solve this problem satisfactorily, ” said Flecker, adding that drivers had to be told “again and again” about the rules.

According to the Tiroler Tageszeitung newspaper, “80 percent of drivers now have a migrant background – and Muslims traditionally often regard dogs as “impure”.

Gabriele Jandrasits also tried to order a taxi to transport her and her Beagle-Jack Russell dog to the airport. Despite the fact that the dog was contained inside a transport cage, she was told that “most drivers would refuse to take dogs for reasons of faith.”

Local laws state the drivers must accept guide dogs for the blind, although many of them simply seem to be ignoring this mandate.

Meanwhile, diversity continues to be a strength.
