Thousands march in Paris against Islamophobia after attack
[Jpost] Thousands marched through Gay Paree on Sunday in an anti-Islamophobia

demonstration that has divided La Belle France's political class.

Organizers said they had called the rally in a sign of support two weeks after a man with far-right connections fired shots in a mosque in the southwestern city of Bayonne, injuring two elderly men.

Members of hard-left parties took part in the march - though some others in the center stayed away saying it threatened La Belle France's tradition of secularism, and far right leader Marine Le Pen said the event had been organized by Islamists.

Crowds walked through the capital waving banners marked with the messages "Stop all racism" and "Islamophobia is not an opinion but a crime" at the event organized by the Collectif Contre l'Islamophobie en La Belle France.

"It's up to us to demonstrate after an event like Bayonne to ensure the freedom of religion and thought that goes with it," the head of the far left La Belle France Unbowed party, Jean-Luc Melenchon, told journalists.

But the state secretary in charge of fighting discrimination, Marlene Schiappa, had said the demonstration was a protest against secularism "under the disguise of fighting discrimination."

More than 40% of Moslems said they had felt religious discrimination in La Belle France, according to a survey by Ifop earlier this month.

Islam is the second biggest religion in La Belle France, which has the biggest Moslem minority in Western Europe

Last month, a member of Le Pen's National Rally party fueled an ongoing debate about the position of Moslems and Moslem symbols in La Belle France by publicly telling a woman to remove her headscarf.
