Tribune Manuel Valls on Islam: Muslims in France skeptical – Europe1

“If Islam does not help the Republic (…) it will be increasingly hard for the Republic to guarantee this freedom of worship.” This sentence is one of the highest in the article published in the Sunday newspaper by Manuel Valls, which calls for building a “pact with Islam.” The Prime Minister wants to include rethinking the role of the Foundation for Islam in France, to make financing more transparent Muslim faith, and to end the training of imams abroad.

Poor “timing”. Lens, members of the Union of Muslim citizens of the Pas-de-Calais, who attended Sunday Mass in a tribute to the priest killed in Saint-Étienne-du-Rouvray, have denounced a mixed message. For them, some excerpts of the text, like the one where Manuel Valls evokes a “lucid duty” of Muslims to Jihadism face, do not pass. “They are convicts, alcoholics, psychopaths, not for people leaving a mosque,” said Brahim Ait Moussa, a member of the collective. He also denounces the bad “timing” of this platform: “There is absolutely no connection between funding and what happened (in Saint-Étienne-du-Rouvray, note), especially when it knows the profile of the attackers, who have no direct link with the mosques. This is not the time to recovery. “

” Study all proposals. “ for the president of the Union of Muslim citizens of the Pas-de-Calais, the proposals made by Manuel Valls did also nothing new: “it’s been years they say: we must imams who speak the French language. ” Same story for Kbibech Anwar, Chairman of the French Council of the Muslim Faith (CFCM), told Europe 1: “Muslims of France have always taken responsibility for the attacks in January 2015. A real substantive work was conducted. ” He mentioned the establishment of a religious council, in particular to “deconstructing the jihadist argument circulating on social networks.” “We are ready to consider all proposals, see how things better,” insists manager

Eric Ciotti. “I m opposes frontally Manuel Valls “

The forum Manuel Valls has also been strongly criticized right. After Hervé Mariton Sunday, Eric Ciotti has reacted to the Prime Minister on Europe 1. “I am strongly against Manuel Valls on this issue, aimed at challenging the 1905 law,” said the MP. “This law is a pillar of our law, an essential value that expresses secularism, religious freedom, but also the fact that the state does not interfere funding of religions”, he continues. “Through this forum, we feel that it is this issue of funding that is emerging. I oppose any public funding or foreign places of worship and I believe that the answer to religious radicalization is not found in religion. “
