Henda Ayari, a mother of three, author and women’s activist wrote a widely shared open letter to President Emmanuel Macron urging him to take far tougher measures against radical Islamic propaganda — and at the same time help to reintegrate the moms and kids who are most isolated and hurt by it rather than punishing them.
