Why does France hate Islam?

In vain, the ruling party in France, and the intellectuals and media guards of the republican ideology, try to include the reissue of the offensive cartoons of the Arab Prophet in the framework of freedom of expression and belief, two values ​​that rise to the rank of “holiness” in the official French narrative on the republic and its long-standing values. Refuting such an argument does not require much effort. The magazine “Charlie Hebdo” has not published these cartoons, and other anti-Muslim cartoons, since 2005, as a contribution to the critique of religions in general, and their political and social role, as it did when it was founded in the early 1990s. 1970. Paying attention to the time of publication of these cartoons is extremely important, because it sheds light on their real ideological-political background, given its coincidence with a great change in which “Charlie Hebdo” embarked, from the beginning of the call American and Western war on “terrorism.” The magazine, which was one of the most prominent platforms of the anticlerical movement and of capitalism and colonialism in France, suddenly became, with the start of the aforementioned war, and under the supervision of its spiritual guide, the Zionist Philip Fall, in a trumpet that incited Islamic movements and Islam as a religion, as they are the greatest threat to the security of the world and modern civilization. And everything that symbolizes “freedom, openness, enlightenment” and other abstract and empty values. It should be remembered that “Charlie Hebdo” originally reprinted the cartoon images previously published by the Danish right-wing daily “Jyllands Posten”, which supposedly contrasts with the French left-wing magazine. The fact is that balanced sections of the Western elites, right and left, terrified by the atrophy of their growing influence on a global level and the emergence of the role of non-Western powers and peoples, see Muslims, by virtue of experience. common history, the geographic neighborhood and the presence of population blocks among them in western countries, “the closest enemy” and the “fifth column” against which the “white nerve” can be mobilized. The invention of an enemy To mobilize such nervousness, and to use it for electoral and / or political purposes, internal and external, is what Emmanuel Macron and other French and Western politicians seek, as part of their permanent endeavor to create an internal consensus, necessary to ensure their survival in power and unify the ranks of the old democracies, terrified to leave the world out of control.

Anyone who thinks that “delicate” French feelings were scandalized when a young Chechen, lost in the world of virtual fatwas, beheaded a French teacher who offered his students offensive drawings for the Messenger, must remember that those feelings were not touched when members of the French police, that is, employees representing the State In the last two decades, dozens of attacks and racist crimes against French citizens of the suburbs and popular neighborhoods, and of Arab and African origin. In the case of young Adam Traore, for example, a Frenchman of economic origin, who suffocated after four French policemen alighted on him in one of his police stations, on July 19, 2016, this scandalous racist crime did not lead to a massive protest movement, like the one they witnessed in American cities. For weeks, after the murder of the African American citizen George Floyd, in similar circumstances, by an American policeman. What is more dangerous for “French democracy” and its “eternal” values: a crime committed by a clumsy extremist, or dozens of crimes committed by the institution in charge of preserving the safety and life of citizens? This reveals the double standards on the part of a balanced majority of French society, as well as the succession of racist attacks launched by French individuals against immigrants or places of worship, the latest of which is the attack on two veiled Algerian women in the neighborhood “Chan de Mars” near the Eiffel Tower, indicating that a white nervousness is spreading strongly in His waist. The French president, who spoke of “Islamic separatism”, which means a threat to the identity, security and territorial integrity of the country, and of a battle between “civilization and barbarism” in his mourning for the murdered teacher, by claiming the The vocabulary of colonial discourse, as well as its equality between Islamists and terrorists, consciously fuels this nervousness. And by giving him legitimacy and credibility as head of state, and his speech has more impact on public opinion than the speeches of the leaders of the extreme right, for example. Those targeted by the policies of exclusion, marginalization and squeeze in the suburbs of poverty and police abuse, that is, the children of immigrants of Arab and African origin, call it institutional racism and consider it a continuity within the borders of France from the colonial administration of population affairs, which prevailed in the colonies in an earlier age. Many of these Islamists took up the flag simultaneously in defense of rights and identity, following the disappearance of other liberal ideologies in recent decades. It is this role that Islam is playing that provokes and alerts a broad stream of the political elite and armies of experts, researchers and media professionals, and the vast majority of prominent Zionists, such as Alan Felkenkraut, Pascal Bruckner, Elizabeth Badenter , Erik Zemmour, Caroline Forest, Pierre Andre Tageyev, and others participated in the development of the internal thesis. To confirm that France and Israel face an enemy. This is a very important point, and one that is often ignored by Arab researchers and media professionals: the role of the Zionist lobby and its “academic” and media networks in crafting the Islamic threat theory. Perhaps it should also be noted that the French president, who wants to fight Islamists and terrorists, is the same person who pushed the French Parliament to pass a resolution, voted on by a weak majority, that equates hostility to Zionism and anti-Semitism.
Just as the French president uses internal social and political conflicts to promote the hypothesis of an Islamic threat, he exploits the geopolitical conflicts between France and Turkey, for example, for the same purpose, so that the Turkish president is not just a competitor for influence and wealth in Libya and the eastern Mediterranean, but rather the owner of an “Ottoman” imperial project dangerous for Europe. itself! The Islamophobic discourse that was formulated in the era of colonial expansion in the 19th century, days when France was a rising power, is recovering today, after its transformation into an aging power, to close ranks and unite with the rest of the Western powers against “others”, Muslims and non-Muslims.
