The Internal Affairs Ministry of France decided to expel from the country those five immigrants who held extremist religious views.   

The Ministry’s statement to that effect noted that the deportees also include three imams, one of whom is a Turk by the name of Yusuf Yuksel, NTV News Agency of Turkey reports.

It was noted that these persons, who held extremist religious beliefs, were spreading enmity against the Europeans and the Jews, and therefore posed a threat to France’s state security.
