ABUJA, January 17 (Ooduarere) — Mohamed El Makouli passed on close to the French city of Avignon on Wednesday, when an aggressor raced into the exploited person’s home in the town of Beaucet, yelling “I am your god, I am your Islam” before cutting the man 17 times, the National Observatory Against Islamophobia said, by AFP news organization.

Avignon prosecutors have officially charged the 28-year-old attacker with “murder, attempted murder and possession of drugs.”

“The Islamophobic aspect will be investigated when we interview this boy who claims to have heard voices,” a representative said.

National Observatory Against Islamophobia head Abdallah Zekri, as far as concerns him, described the strike “as a terrible Islamophobic assault,” which came simply a week after France was staggered by the Charlie Hebdo killings.

In the mean time, French Justice Minister Christiane Taubira has said that the administration is considering tightening laws against bigotry and hostile to Semitism.  Furthermore, the administration is looking to get the authorities to block Internet racism among locales “as already happens with ones that carry child pornography,” Taubira said.

The last seven days have seen no less than 50 hostile to Muslim occurrences incorporating assaults on mosques in France, as per the nation’s Central Council of Muslim
