According to an exclusive poll (IFOP for our monthly Screen Watch), carried out from February 22 to 28, 2022, on a sample of 3,007 people aged 18 and over, on the means of fighting against Islamism, 85% of French support the proposal, put forward by several presidential candidates, aimed at “banning Islamist organizations linked to the Muslim Brotherhood and all the movement linked to it”.
For several years, radical Islamists have been carrying out deadly raids in northern Mozambique. They sometimes venture into southern Tanzania. Their attacks kill hundreds of people and force tens of thousands to flee the region. Affiliated with the Islamic State, the Shabab managed to occupy the port of Mocimboa da Praia, with its 30,000 inhabitants, for almost a year and the town of Palma (75,000 inhabitants) for a month before being driven out. This move led to the withdrawal of the French group TotalEnergies, which was ready to invest several tens of billions of dollars in a very large gas project near the town of Palma. For a decade, Mozambique has been presented as a future gas Eldorado.
Who would have thought it? The Republic, which nevertheless removed religion from the political field and invented secularism, is gradually succumbing to pressure from Islamists of all stripes, who are trying to test its reaction to the systematic pressure to impose their moral dictatorship by attacking freedom of conscience, and even freedom itself.
The enemies of Western civilisation are working day and night for one goal: to bring down this political modernity and its positive laws and to apply Islamic law first in Muslim-majority neighbourhoods and then throughout Europe. Will Europeans thus become dhimmis in their own land in the coming decades?
For a long time, the international branch of the Muslim Brotherhood has benefited from the benevolence of the authorities and the largesse of the legislation on political asylum in European countries.
For almost half a century, a double aberration prevailed in this respect. First of all, there was the glaring semantic contradiction known as “moderate Islamism”. For how can one be “moderate”, or even tolerant, while claiming a divine truth that is impervious to any criticism or examination of conscience?
The issue of the organisation of Muslim worship in Europe is not new. It is linked to many aspects, including cultural, national and linguistic ones. Since the end of the 1980s, public authorities in several European countries have been urging Muslim leaders to manage their faith. But the institutions designed to organise the Muslim faith remain unstable and unrepresentative.
With the launch of the French Islam Forum (FORIF), whose first session was held on 5 February at the Economic, Social and Environmental Council in Paris, a calamitous parenthesis of nearly 20 years has just closed. By recording the “death” of the French Council of the Muslim Faith (CFCM) last December, the Ministry of the Interior, which is responsible for religious affairs, finally realised that this Council had become an obstacle to the fight against Islamist separatism, which had been wiped out by the entryism of the Muslim Brotherhood and the internal quarrels known as “consular Islam”, linked to the allegiances of the different federations of French Islam to the countries of origin of their members.
We, Algerians of immigrant origin or newcomers, Muslims or not, French nationals or not, are happy to live in France. Like all human beings, there are among us decent people, less decent people, believers, Islamists, agnostics, atheists, thieves, secularists, republicans, Christians, executives, rich people, poor people, unemployed people, employers, employees… In short, we are neither angels nor demons, we are normally constituted citizens, like all the others.
I love my parents too much, who gave me a fantastic name, to defend Zemmour’s ban on non-Catholic names. But, if the truth is on his side, on certain issues, I will not hesitate to point it out.
Anyway, one can disagree with him on many political, historical, sociological and philosophical issues… But to say that he knows neither Islam nor Islamism, nor the tumultuous relationship between the two is a joke that nobody laughs at today, except for the ignorant of the Islamic thing and the thurifers of all sides
The ambivalence of Dr. Chams-Eddine and Mister Hafiz, capable of moving – in the space of barely three months – from a manifesto against Islamism to an alliance with the Muslim Brotherhood, finds its explanation in the fact that the rector of the Grand Mosque of Paris – like all his predecessors since the creation of this mosque in 1926 – is an official of the Algerian State: the Grand Mosque was erected as a sign of France’s gratitude to the “indigenous Algerian soldiers who died for their country during the Great War”.
88 years after its creation in 1933, the women’s branch of the Muslim Brotherhood remains very marginalized. The Muslim Sisters are most often confined to the role of auxiliaries in the shadow of the Brothers. Paradoxically, we observe an opposite phenomenon in Europe: the Sisters are deliberately put forward as symbols of openness and modernity. They are thus used as an Islamist Trojan horse to better infiltrate civil society and siphon off subsidies from European bodies!
