“Make ready for them all that you can of force and of warhorses, so that by them you may strike terror in the enemy of Allah and your enemy…” (Qur’an 8:60)



“They filmed themselves shouting ‘Allahu Akbar’ in Bordeaux Cathedral: Three teenagers arrested for condoning terrorism,” translated from “Ils se filment en criant “Allah Akbar” dans la cathédrale de Bordeaux : trois adolescents interpellés pour apologie du terrorisme,” by Julie Chapman, France 3, November 5, 2025 (thanks to Medforth):

Three teenagers, aged 16 and 17, were arrested by police this Wednesday, November 5, around noon, in the nave of Saint-André Cathedral, located in the center of Bordeaux. They are accused of condoning terrorism for filming themselves shouting “Allahu Akbar”.

It’s a joke in extremely poor taste. This Wednesday, November 5, around noon, a group of teenagers filmed themselves in the nave of Saint-André Cathedral, located on Place Pey-Berland in Bordeaux. In the videos, the five teenagers, aged 16 and 17, repeatedly shout “Allahu Akbar.”

The scene frightened the worshippers who had come to pray, and they alerted the local police. At the scene, law enforcement officers apprehended three of the five teenagers; the other two had already fled.

Placed in police custody, the three teenagers are accused of condoning terrorism. However, the police are trying to reassure the public. “This is completely stupid behavior. The terrorist angle has been ruled out,” stated the Gironde Regional Directorate of the National Police (DIPN).

Currently, the three youths remain in police custody. The legal proceedings are not yet known. Directly inciting acts of terrorism or publicly condoning such acts is punishable by five years’ imprisonment and a €75,000 fine.
