Bruno Retailleau wishes that the “fight against the Islamism of the Muslim Brotherhood” either “one of the main priorities for the coming months”in an interview with Parisian posted online Monday January 6 evening. On the eve of the commemoration of the attacks against Charlie Hebdo and the Hyper Cacher of the Porte de Vincennes in January 2015, the Minister of the Interior judges that “France could be hit again”car “the battle against Islamic totalitarianism is far from won”.
Bruno Retailleau particularly targets “political Islam” Who “threatens our institutions and national cohesion”. “I hope that one of the main priorities of these coming months will be the fight against the Islamism of the Muslim Brotherhood”whom he accuses of making “entrism”.
He believes that to fight against this “entryism”it will be necessary “extending the scope of secularism to other public spaces, for example to sports competitions or school outings”. In his eyes, “the 2004 law on religious symbols must be applied to these activities: school trips are school outside the walls”.

The minister is also in favor of banning the wearing of the veil at university.
Considering that “the breeding ground for terrorism is separatism and political Islam”it assures “Muslim citizens who [le gouvernement] is not leading a fight against their religion, which is disfigured by Islamism, but a fight against a political ideology which is disfiguring their religion.” “What is at stakehe saidthese are the conquests of the West, such as gender equality, freedom of conscience or our French secularism. »
He adds, furthermore, that there is “also the subject of migration, which is also linked, in part, to that of Islamism”. Regarding immigration which he wishes to limit and which is the subject of debate within the government, Mr. Retailleau warns: “For my part, I will not give an inch on immigration, or on the restoration of public order. »
