The Abu Bakr Essedik mosque in Angers, currently under construction, was the target of an attack last weekend. A second degradation after that of September 2021. The officials denounce an "Islamophobic" persecution.

Reacting to this latest act of vandalism, the president of the Union of Mosques of France (UMF), Mohammed Moussaoui, condemned "with the utmost vigor the act of vandalism of which the Angers mosque has once again been the victim."
"Many windows were broken by projectiles," he reported, expressing his full support for the faithful and the mosque authorities in the face of this hateful and Islamophobic persecution."
