Racist attack on mosque in Paris suburb

Racist slogans have been sprayed on the wall of a mosque near Paris, officials said on Sunday, in the latest of a string of recent acts targeting France's Muslim minority. The mosque in Nanterre, a suburb west of Paris, was sprayed with three giant inscriptions overnight Saturday, telling Muslims to "go home" and extolling the policies of Jean-Marie Le Pen, leader of the xenophobic far-right National Front party. Two other mosques and almost 100 Muslim graves in two cemeteries have been defaced with swastikas and Neo-Nazi slogans this month, while gunshots were fired at one of the mosques, in northern France.
