France clamps down on Muslim extremists by halting appointment of foreign clerics
Fox News
France, which has experienced a wave of terrorist attacks in recent years, enacted a new law that looks to tackle radical Islam by banning foreign-appointed clerics.
Foreign imams already in the country will either be sent back to their country of origin or take on new, lower-level positions at local mosques.
The government will appoint religious leaders and others to a body called the Forum of Islam in France, where these officials will help guide France’s Muslim communities and root out any potential elements of radicalization.
