The Jan. 29 front page of Morocco’s weekly magazine Alwatan Alane features French President Francois Hollande wearing a Nazi outfit, complete with a swastika armband and Adolf Hitler’s trademark mustache. The controversial photomontage is accompanied by the title, “Will the French revive Hitler’s concentration camps to exterminate Muslims?”
Contacted by francetv info, publication director Abderrahim Ariri said he stood by his choice to run the shocking cover. “This is a wakeup call for the political class, both in Morocco and France,” he said. “Since the attack against Charlie Hebdo, we’ve had many testimonies indicating that Islamophobia has gone out of hand in France. “
