after the november 2015 paris attacks, which were prepared in the brussels municipality of molenbeek, touzani kept performing in brussels, despite the heightened fears of new terrorist attacks and amid militarised security forces on the streets. he stated it was important not to give in to fear, and that he would maintain his 'sharp critique of islamists, nationalists and extremists.' his new show "les enfants de dom juan", co-written by ben hamidou, was his response to the attacks, in which he demands the muslim community to critically reflect on their beliefs and behaviour, that motivated some of its members towards radicalisation and terrorism. it also sought to break the taboo on homosexuality and apostasy within the muslim community. parti socialiste politician philippe moureaux (former burgemeester of molenbeek 1993–2012) banned touzani from performing in the municipality for 10 years, and the show was boycotted by the inhabitants and associations of molenbeek.
