PARIS (AP) — Hemmed in and closely watched by police, hundreds of Muslims unrolled rugs and prayed outdoors Friday in the busy streets of a Paris suburb to protest the closure of their prayer hall.
The show of strength by throngs of worshippers in Clichy highlighted a long-standing issue for France’s Muslim community, estimated at 5 million people: a shortage of mosques.
Such protests aren’t without risk of a backlash, especially in the politically heated atmosphere of France’s upcoming presidential election. Far-right presidential candidate Marine Le Pen has previously decried street prayers, part of her anti-immigrant, anti-Islam outlook.
Clichy Muslims had been using a prayer hall rented from City Hall. But the town’s mayor now wants to turn that space into a multimedia library for the town’s 60,000 residents.

Be concentrate on Muslims Prayers.
Prayers are the most powerful tool and necessary for all Muslims……….
Immigrant Muslims should be good behaviour who live in majority non Islam. What we see today Muslims who live in majority non Islam demand the right of minority, but Muslims who live in Islam majority there is no the right of minority, unfair attitude. Allah condemn it.
If Muslims pray on the crowd street it means you make extremist intolerant non Islam grow faster. Please pray at the right place. Do not be provocative!! Respect non Islam.
When we pray to Allah, we do not need to show other non Muslim, it means ” RIAA” Allah condemn it.
Muslims have to pray the right place.
There are millions Muslim Hamas, Isis, pray to Allah, but Allah do not listen, because they pray and also hate others
That is why Allah curse and punish them with severely…
Allah always favour Jews than Hamas.
