Thousands join French march against Islamophobia

Over 10,000 people turned out north of Paris on Sunday for a march against Islamophobia that drew criticism from both the government and the far right.The march was called by a number of individuals and organisations, including the Collective against Islamophobia in France (CCIF).It also came as the debate over the veil has been revived in France and against a background of several jihadist attacks in France in recent years.
