French authorities have banned mass Muslim prayers from a Paris street after clashes between worshippers and protesters angry their public square had turned into an open air mosque.
French Interior Minister Gerard Collomb confirmed the move and said local police authorities have the power to forcibly act this Friday.“They will not have prayers on the street, we will prevent street praying,” Collomb told Franceinfo. “We will make sure we resolve this conflict in the next few weeks.”Illegal street prayers have been a Friday feature in the suburb of Clichy-la-Garenne for the last nine months as Muslims protested the closure of a local mosque that had operated in a government-owned building.

This may well be the story of 2017. Remember what happens when French police try and enforce the anti-facecloth laws. They text a rent-a-riot of hundreds of tards (Scuzlims) who laze around the mosques all day just waiting for a chance to ‘defend the faith’, fires start, cars and buildings and shops are destroyed, occasionally policemen are killed and they stop enforcing the law. What will happen when the French demand the proper use of their streets again? Keep a watch on this story. It may have legs.
Islamic jurisprudence does have precedent for "open air mosques". Direct quote from a Mufti:
