MOSCOW (Sputnik) — French Prime Minister Manuel Valls called on Friday for reorganizing relations with Islam in the country.

"[It] is necessary to scrutinize and invent new relations with Islam in France," Valls told Le Monde newspaper.

He added that Paris was about to toughen control over religious activities to prevent radicalization across the country, including by cutting funding of mosques from abroad for a certain period of time.

The prime minister's statement comes amid recent terrorist attacks in France. On July 14, a truck rammed into a large crowd celebrating Bastille Day in Nice, killing at least 84 people. On July 26, two armed men took five people hostage at the Saint-Etienne-du-Rouvray church in Normandy, killing a priest. The Daesh terrorist group, outlawed in Russia and numerous other countries, claimed responsibility for both attacks.
