He called for “sacrificing oneself for the prophet”
French authorities accuse him of having given sermons calling for jihad between 2021 and 2023, at the Montmagny mosque. Indeed, he has repeatedly called for “to fight in the way of Allah” and pushed his followers to “sacrifice for the prophet”legitimizing death as a martyr.

These words found a certain echo in the Pakistani and Afghan communities and more particularly in the Montmagny mosque. According to Europe 1, up to 900 faithful gathered to meet Siddique Mohammad. The latter maintained close relationships with the imams of neighboring mosques, including that of Garges-lès-Gonesse. The author of the attack at the police headquarters in October 2019, Mickaël Harpon, was radicalized in this mosque. The new imam of the Montmagny mosque is committed to respecting republican values in his sermons.
