Paris – France launched an unprecedented movement to confront “Islamic separatism” in the wake of successive attacks on the country this year, along with statements by President Emmanuel Macron that sparked anger in Arab and Islamic countries.
و .علن Home Secretary Gerald Darmanan On Wednesday night, the state apparatus will carry out a “massive and unprecedented movement against separatism” targeting “76 mosques” in the coming days.
Darmanan wrote in his tweet about Twitter “Following my instructions, the state apparatus will launch a massive and unprecedented movement against separatism.”
He added that “in the next few days 76 mosques suspected of being separatists will be inspected, and those that should be closed will be closed.”
According to information published by the newspaper Le Figaro, and confirmed by people close to the French Interior Minister, on November 27 Darmanan sent a memorandum to security directors throughout the country detailing the measures to be taken against these mosques, which are distributed in 16 in Paris and its region and 60 in the rest of the country.
There are 18 mosques among these places of worship that will be attacked and may face immediate measures that may go to the point of closing them.
Sources pointed out that three of these 18 mosques are located within the municipality of Seine Saint-Denis, noting that one of them refused to abide by a decision issued by the mayor and decided to close it.
The second one closed in 2019, but he continued to pray. As for the third, a security decision was issued to close it, but the state apparatus did not verify whether it was really closed or not.
The announcement of this security operation comes days before the cabinet meeting to be held next Wednesday to consider a bill aimed at “strengthening republican principles” by fighting “separatism” and Islamic extremism.
In an article published in the British newspaper “Financial Times” in early November, French President Emmanuel Macron said that “France is waging a war against Islamic separatism, not against Islam.”
This campaign comes at a time when France was immersed in a confrontation with political groups of Islam, as well as with organizations close to the Brotherhood in the country, where it was previously resolved under the model of the extremist organization of the Gray Wolves.
