Cyril Hanouna talks about his son Lino’s friendship with Eddy, a little Muslim boy
“My son, I want his best friend to be Eddy who is Muslim. I don’t want him to no longer be his best friend tomorrow. Because he’s a boy that I adore. I have great and my son doesn’t ask him: ‘what is your religion?’. He has fun with him, he’s a boy who has always been there, he’s a boy who is wonderful and his parents are Muslims. In addition, they are very religious, they practice a lot and my son is good with them. He does Muslim holidays with them, he is happy, Eddy does Jewish holidays with us, he is happy….” he said, recalling that Muslims in France should not be considered terrorists.
“When I’m with my Muslim friends, I don’t want there to be distrust. We can’t bring here a problem that we all don’t know, not at the tip of our fingers. There isn’t a person here around the table or in the audience who can give us the ins and outs of the case.” he estimated.
