Fdesouche.com, which presents itself as a press review, claimed that the Great Mosque of Paris was controversial for having invited and relayed the historian Louis Blin, whom it described as controversial. The site attributed to him the thesis that Napoleon was Muslim and reported that Thomas Sibille, presented as someone from a bookstore close to the Islamist movement, attended the conference. Quoting La Croix, Fdesouche.com added that, according to several historians, Napoleon was not attracted to the Muslim faith and that Bonaparte considered religion primarily as a political tool. The site also recalled that Napoleon's will stated he died in the Apostolic and Roman religion in which he was born and expressed the wish that his ashes rest by the Seine. (translated)
