Is the French government trying to redefine Islam on its own terms?
As an mosque has been under attack, the Muslims have been practising with peacekeepers for the sake of the freedom of movement that they have been given.
He spoke about the problem with government-led initiatives to redefine Islam, and how current policies towards French Muslims have helped contribute towards anti-Muslim attitudes. All these delusions and slander have no basis since Muslims have been for decades, even centuries, and have never sought to impose their way of life or their culture or tradition on anyone.
So French Islam lives well in a context and we take that into account. We were the first in Lyon at the UJM to fight for a ‘contextualised’ Islam that takes into account social relations and the specificities of the country in which we live. French President, Mr Macron, uses the formula of ‘French Islam’, but it is not in the same terms that we hear them at all. When we talk about French Islam, we are talking about a committed, free, independent Islam that can enable Muslims to organise themselves as they wish, to talk about the problems that interest them, that concern them.
The current problem is that the problems are hidden by society and the media, when you talk to a girl wearing a headscarf, for example, a veiled Muslim woman, she will tell you about the difficulties she faces in school, university, work, commerce, on the street, public services, and when you hear her you discover things you don't think about because you don't belong there. I think if you want to solve these difficulties, you have to involve the actors.
