abaaoud. muslims around the world have strongly condemned the terror attacks here in paris. some in france are concerned about backlash against the muslim community. i want to bring in yasser. how much concern do you have any reaction, not just here in france, but globally? actually now we are being treated now as part of the problem, when we are being targeted by these terrorists all over the globe, including here in the west. unfortunately, now our respective governments are not treating us as regular citizens, but as the enemy. the way the french government is reacting, is spreading a tremendous amount of fear in the
what needs to happen now? muslims are part of the solution. the muslim minority has been reporting on radicals for years, but now the government needs to tackle the broader issues, meaning social instability, discriminations at work and in schools. we also need to treat muslims as regular citizens. we keep humiliating muslim women in schools and young men in their places of work. it s going to backfire. two days ago, the police raided a mosque. they totally destroyed it. try to imagine the local community waking up and seeing all the carpet being torn to pieces, broken doors, broke ceilings. it doesn t create bridges with the community? it doesn t. they are treating us as the enemy and refusing to protect us. yasser, appreciate your

being spread throughout social media. regardless of that, we are still receiving a huge amount of solidarity from our fellow countrymen. so the muslim community still belongs to this country and we will for a long time. but we are still mixing the muslim community and somehow affiliating with the terrorists. we are being asked to choose our camp. our camp is a french one, make no mistake about it. yasser, why it that no one in the muslim community in france knew what these guys were up to? it was a pretty big plan and someone would have had to have something, probably in the muslim community, but no one said anything? sir, the muslim community has nothing to do with these guys. nothing. we cannot justify ourselves for
