Exclusive Survey | France: Teachers facing attacks on secularism

Two years after the beheading of Samuel Paty, our survey of teachers shows that fear has not changed sides at all. Attacks on secularism are on the rise to such an extent that more than half of the teachers censor themselves to avoid causing “incidents”...

Exclusive Survey | Islam: a French (electoral) obsession

In the electoral campaign for the legislative elections, as in the presidential elections, controversial issues related to Islam (the veil, the burkini, the building of mosques, etc.) are hysterising the political debate. Worse still, like a tree that hides the forest, they overshadow the real issues relating to the fight against Islamism and communitarianism...

Censure | Is it still possible to criticize the Muslim Brotherhood in France?

The two advertising centers JcDecaux and Insert, which hold a quasi monopoly on the French display advertising market, have just censored a poster campaign intended to promote a book, recently published in Paris, entitled ''The global threat of the Muslim Brotherhood – Report of the US Congress commented by the experts of Global Watch Analysis''.

Exclusive Survey | Islam, Islamism, communitarianism: what do the French people think?

Islamism | Belgium: Imam Toujgani, the “moderate” who called to “burn the Jews”!

Imam Mohamed Toujgani is affiliated to the Council of Theologians of Belgium, a very opaque organisation, close to the Executive of Muslims of Belgium (EMB). The other Muslim organisations in Belgium accuse the members of this executive of being co-opted in a “nepotistic manner”. Its board is currently chaired by Imam Tahar Toujgani, Mohamed's cousin, who is also head of the European Council of Moroccan Ulemas.

Islamism | Brussels no longer wants Imam Mohamed Toujgani

The imam of the famous al-Khalil mosque in Molenbeek, Mohamed Toujgani, is now banned from Belgium for 10 years. He was on holiday in Morocco when the official announcement was made that he was not allowed to return to Belgium. The local press widely reported the tug of war between him and the Belgian Secretary of State for Asylum and Migration, Sammy Mahdi, who initiated the procedure for banning the Molenbeek imam, following a report by the Belgian State Security...

Exclusive Survey | France: What proposals to fight against Islamism?

A majority of French people consider that, in the current presidential campaign, political figures talk too often about issues related to Islam. But, who are the most credible candidates? And which proposals meet with the most support concerning Islam, fight against Islamism and - more generally - the relationship between the State and religions in France?

Exclusive Survey | France: Fierce battle around the “Catholic vote”

Practising Catholics represent barely 10% of the French electorate. Nevertheless, they are the object of all the covetousness in the race for the presidential elections next April. Although they do not weigh much in quantitative terms, their positioning - on the border between a traditional right-wing, which is stagnating in opinion, and a national and identity-based right-wing, which is making strong progress - makes them a pivotal segment of the electorate around which the balance of power between the three...
