France | The CFCM carried away by “political” and “consular” Islam

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.

Islamism | France: The pangs of “consular Islam” !

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...

Muslim Brotherhood | Qatari funding : The heavy silences of the french National Education on the Averroès High School in Lille

Following the revelations of the book "Qatar Papers" on the Qatari funding granted to the Lycée Averroès in Lille, Jean-Michel Blanquer, the french Minister of National Education commissioned two reports. Two years later, these reports intended to determine whether the foreign funding in question is likely to revoke the contract that binds this high school, founded and run by the Muslim Brotherhood, to national education (and therefore to cut public funding). ), have still not been made public ...
