Le Monde attacks father of Bataclan victim for associating with French right

The government-owned Le Monde continues to show why a paper owned by politics doesn't need an audience:
A French mainstream newspaper has attacked Patrick Jardin, father of 31-year-old Bataclan massacre victim Nathalie Jardin, for being too close to anti-Islamisation figures and groups deemed “far right”.

While other parents of victims of the 2015 massacre have called for people to rally against hate, 65-year-old Jardin has been defiant and says he will never forgive the radical Islamic terrorists who murdered his daughter, saying: “Me, I hate.”

In an article released this week by French newspaper Le Monde, Mr Jardin was attacked for associating with groups like the anti-Islamisation youth activist organisation Generation Identitaire, as well as figures like author Renaud Camus, who coined the theory of the “Great Replacement.”

Jardin has come to the forefront in recent weeks due to his involvement in a campaign to have rapper Médine’s October concert at the Bataclan cancelled.

The announcement of the concert earlier this year sparked controversy due to the fact that one of the rapper’s albums was entitled ‘Jihad’. Earlier this month the campaign proved a success when Médine announced the cancellation of the concert.
I seriously think all concerned should save their money and not buy Le Monde, nor should they bother to visit their website if this is how they're going to treat victims of terrorism and their relatives. You can only wonder what they must think of 9-11 Families for a Safe America to boot. I think Jardin should be invited to speak before Congress in the US about how the government and press are literally demonizing victims with this rhetoric, and worst, sabotaging every effort to put a stop to the evils of Islam. Who will champion people like Jardin?
