In recent days, a fragment of an interview given by Abbot Pierre, a famous French politician, Catholic priest and World War II veteran, in 1993 has been circulated on French social networks. It says that a religious, social and political figure is making Muslims pay for the crimes of Europeans against Jews.

Dries Van Langenhove, a far-right former member of the Belgian parliament, was jailed for a year for "inciting hatred and racism" against Jews. He was found guilty of posting videos and photos of the Nazi symbol (swastika) and mocking Jews in concentration camps to a youth movement message group he founded.
