On the eve of ten years since the “Charlie Hebdo” attack, the Minister of the Interior affirmed in “Le Parisien” that “France could be hit again” and that he was “fighting against “Islamism of the Muslim Brotherhood” one of its “major priorities”.
In an interview published by the Parisian Monday January 6 in the evening, on the eve of the commemoration of the attacks against Charlie Hebdo and the Hypercacher of the Porte de Vincennes in January 2015, the very right-wing Minister of the Interior judged that “France could be hit again”, “the battle against Islamic totalitarianism [étant] far from being won. Bruno Retailleau particularly targeted “political Islam” Who “threatens our institutions and national cohesion”. “I wish, he said, that one of the main priorities in the coming months is the fight against the Islamism of the Muslim Brotherhood,” whom he accuses of making “entrism”.
The minister also estimated 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 attendants do not have to be veiled. The veil is not just a simple piece of fabric: it is a standard for Islamism, and a marker of the inferiorization of women in relation to men. he argued, wishing for a legislative measure in this direction. The tenant of Beauvau went even further by speaking out in favor of banning the wearing of the veil at university.
Immigration in the crosshairs
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 stake, he continued, these are the conquests of the West such as gender equality, freedom of conscience or our French secularism.”
He further added 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 causing debate within the government, Bruno Retailleau warned: “For my part, I will not give an inch on immigration, or on the restoration of public order.”
