ANALYSIS BY COUNTRY
FRANCESTATEDOMINANT ANGLE
Paris follows with concern the shooting at a mosque in San Diego, reading both an act of hatred against an Islamic place of worship and the sign of endemic violence in the United States, in a context of persistent community tensions.
Dominant angle identified — does not reflect unanimity of this country’s media
KEY POINTS
- •Three men killed at the Islamic center of San Diego on May 18, including a mosque security agent
- •The two suspects, aged 17 and 19, found dead in a vehicle nearby, victims of self-inflicted gunshot wounds according to Police Chief Scott Wahl
- •The police treat the case as a 'hate crime' with FBI assistance; Imam Taha Hassane denounces: 'Targeting a place of worship is absolutely scandalous'
BIASES
Minority rights framing: French media emphasize the presumed Islamophobic nature of the attack more than the suspects' profilePreference for the American structural context: tendency to inscribe the event in a broader rhetoric on violence in the United States and community tensionsLow coverage of the suspects' motivations: available articles do not provide information on the precise motives of the two young shooters or their profile
