According to the minister, the state of emergency announced in the country would allow to "attack preachers of hate" more rapidly.

On Friday night, eight extremists wearing explosive belts attacked several venues across Paris, killing 129 people and injuring over 350 at restaurants, the Bataclan concert hall and in the vicinity of the Stade de France stadium. Responsibility for the attacks was claimed by the Islamic State.

In June, Cazeneuve stated that some 40 foreign imams had been deported from France for preaching hatred in the past three years.
