 On June 17th 2016 in Paris, Tasin spoke at a rally organized by a monarchist party, the [[Souveraineté Liberté Et Identité]] ([[SIEL]]), in honour of the two policemen who had been murdered in Magnanville.
 In her speech, she asked that her followers take up their 'swiss knifes and teargas' to defend themselves against 'Muslim proselytes'. Tasin spoke of the 'threat of islamisation', a theory called [[Eurabia]] and developed by [[Bat Ye'or]]. She ended by saying 'I invite you to go home chanting 'Murderous Islam'!
