MR requests establishment of a committee on the reading of Quranic verses in the Brussels Parliament

There was a fuss on social media on Friday evening after images emerged of an imam singing Islamic chants in the Brussels Parliament. Theo Francken (N-VA) reacts shocked. “The fact that someone in parliament (…) comes to recite Koranic verses is reprehensible.” According to Parliament Speaker Rachid Madrane (PS), “the event should not have taken place”. The Israeli ambassador to our country states that the quoted verse comes from a chapter that calls for the killing and capture of Jews. She is “absolutely shocked”. The French-speaking liberals are now calling for the establishment of a committee.
