French President Emmanuel Macron announced on Friday that France must confront what he called “Islamic isolationism,” claiming it seeks to “establish a parallel system” and “deny the republic.”
“In this radical Islamism … there is a declared intention to replace a systematic structure to circumvent the laws of the republic and establish a parallel system based on different values, and develop a different organization of society,” Macron said in a speech in Les Moreaux, a sensitive neighborhood in the suburb of Paris. He considered that Islam “is a religion that today is going through a crisis throughout the world.”
The French president stressed that “I do not want there to be confusion or confusion”, but “we must recognize the existence of a radical Islamic tendency that leads to the denial of the republic”, referring to “school dropouts” and “development of sports practices and cultural “especially with Muslims and” ideological indoctrination “. And the denial of our principles is the same as equality between men and women. “
In his speech, Macron announced several measures, such as forcing any association seeking help from the state to sign a charter of secularism, imposing strict supervision on private religious schools, and strictly limiting homeschooling.
However, he considered that the authorities have part of the responsibility of allowing the development of the phenomenon of “turning neighborhoods into ghettos.” “We gather the population according to their origins,” he said, “we did not intend to replace enough mix or enough possibility of economic and social transition.”
“They built their project on our relapse and our failure,” he said.
Macron delivered this long-awaited speech and it was postponed repeatedly, under stressful conditions, following the knife attack by a young Pakistani a week ago in Paris and the ongoing trial in the 2015 Charlie Hebdo attack case, in which the author killed members of the editorial board of the comic newspaper.
Macron proposes a bill against “emotional separation” with the aim of “combating those who use religion to question the values of the Republic”, which is seen as a goal of the Muslim community in particular.
Work on the project began last February, but the Corona crisis hampered it.
The future bill aims to “combat those who use religion to question the values of the republic,” according to the Elysee Palace.
