The association also denounces in a press release the “rise of anti-Arab and anti-Muslim sentiment in our country” as well as the dissemination by the political class of “conspiratorial speeches” referring to the pseudo-concept of “great replacement” – so-called “French” by Arabs and/or Muslims – developed by far-right thinker Renaud Camus.
SOS Racisme denounces in particular the fire of a halal business in Agen, in the Lot-et-Garonne, Sunday January 30 and the inscription of swastikas on the facade of the sign, as well as the hanging of a corpse wild boar at a road sign in front of a Muslim funeral home in Toulouse, Haute-Garonne. The manager of these undertakers, who calls himself “shocked” through “unhealthy climate”, told France Bleu Occitanie that he had filed a complaint.
