A community leader from Paris’s working-class suburbs says he fears a “tsunami of hatred” may await Muslims and residents of poor neighbourhoods following the deadly terror attacks, AFP reports.
Nadir Kahia of the Banlieue Plus community association says its members are shocked and feel a sense of solidarity “but we know … some Muslims and poor neighbourhoods” will be subjected to hate speech.
Kahia also called on Saturday for unity of French people and efforts to calm tensions in a text message to The Associated Press. News24
