A mosque in eastern France was hit by a different kind of anti-Muslim act. This week racist graffiti was scrawled across the walls of a mosque in the town of Ghisonaccia in Corsica, where tensions have been high between immigrant and local communities. Archbishop Lebrun said the Christian, Muslim and Jewish communities have "decided to come together to say 'never again'." The unprovoked beating occurred the day after the murder of the priest at Saint-Etienne-de-Rouvray. Last week a box of pork lardons was emptied into the letter box of the mosque near Nancy and on Thursday the same place of worship was sent an envelope containing white powder.
