On February 13, 2006, Ilan Halimi, a twenty-three-year-old French Jew, died soon after he was found near Paris, half-naked, stabbed, and burned with cigarettes and acid. Halimi was kidnapped and tortured because he was a Jew. Virulent antisemitism is still pervasive in France, fueled by extremist movements of the right and Islamist propaganda.
