Algerian Imam to be expelled from France for antisemitic sermons

Algerian imam Mohamed Tataïat was expelled from France after being convicted for antisemitic sermons.

Tataïat, who operated in Toulouse, was convicted in 2018 for anti-Jewish sermons and sentenced to four months in prison in 2022. His appeal was rejected in December.

“Immigration law allows us to expel him to his country of origin, in less than 24 hours, an ‘imam’ from Toulouse, a preacher of hatred and convicted by the courts,” French Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin said on social media. “The protection of France and the French is my priority.””
