Macron election gives hope to French Muslims, says Paris main mosque

PARIS: Paris’ main Mosque said on Sunday that the election of centrist Emmanuel Macron as France’s next president over far-right leader Marine Le Pen was a sign of reconciliation between French religions.
“It is a clear sign of hope to French Muslims that they can live in harmony and respect of French values,” La Grande Mosquée de Paris said in a statement. (Reporting by Bate Felix)
