the Islamist obsessions of the TikTok influencer to which Emmanuel Macron responded

“You are right” : in a short video clip published on TikTok, the President of the Republic responded to an influencer with a large following on this social network who had complained about having been fined while driving his car for using his phone cell phone, assuring that he had only used it to pay the motorway toll. “I have passed the file to the Minister of the Interior and we will collectively resolve this. Thanks for the alert” said Emmanuel Macron, definitely familiar with viral videos on the Internet: in 2021, he took part in an anecdote competition with YouTubers McFly and Carlito.

This time, the influencer who caught the attention of the head of state calls himself «s4iintt» and regularly publishes videos on the TikTok platform, where he is followed by more than 250,000 people and has nearly 20 million reactions on his content. The young man, who declares himself Muslim, devotes a significant part of his activity as a videographer to lamenting the offenses committed by his French co-religionists against the precepts of Islam, between two videos in which he promotes the products and brands that he finance, or recount his daily life and his travels.

“A dwarf married to his French teacher”

Did the President of the Republic even have the curiosity to consult the other s4iintt videos? If he had gone down the thread of his publications on TikTok, he would have discovered, for example, that the influencer describes him in one of them as “dwarf married to his French teacher who runs a country the size of a potato chip”… These kindnesses towards Emmanuel Macron are uttered in a video entitled “Islam + The Republic?”and in which s4iintt mocks the media discourse on the compatibility of the Muslim religion with the republican order, believing that “not a bug” must not “touch Islam”if only to ensure its solubility in the principles that govern common life in France.

But the heart of this influencer's activity on TikTok consists above all of denouncing attitudes or practices that he judges «haram»illicit in the Muslim religion. Far from being an account dedicated to Muslim theology, s4iintt in fact takes up themes dear to the Islam of the Muslim brothers, such as the moral condemnation of music or the injunction for women to modestly cover their bodies and wear the veil.

“Get as far away from music as possible”

Thus in a recent video, s4iintt castigates the Muslims who went to the rapper Kaaris' concert at La Défense Arena in early January: “You see clearly, he proteststhe color red, the fire… Swear to me by Allah, in your eyes, there, that you see no difference with hell? And to add with the elegance that usually characterizes his words: “It’s TER-RI-FIRING… I’d be here, I’d shit myself!” […] In 2025, Muslims are hopping with kâfirs (non-Muslims, Editor’s note) in a red room filled with fire, with kâfirs like that, there, wesh! Hashek (a word derived from Arabic to say sorry, Editor’s note) please, Muslims in 2025 start leaving concerts, plus it’s almost Ramadan!”

Similarly, s4iintt believes that rapper Ademo has “had millions, billions of sins with music” but is still delighted with the videos showing the artist making his pilgrimage to Mecca… before sharply criticizing the Internet users who relayed these videos by adding music, considering that it is an insult to the Islam. In another video, he exclaims: “Brother, whallah if I have to give just one piece of advice, stay away from music as much as possible, even if you are not a believer, it destroys the inside of your body”.

s4iintt's obsession with Muslim orthopraxy is even more virulent towards women, he regularly publishes videos to attack immodest tendencies, such as twerking (a dance where the posterior is shaken frenziedly) or bodycon dresses. S4iintt defends the wearing of the veil among young girls aged 7, and takes up the arguments of the Brotherhood organizations which protested against the ban on the wearing of the abaya at school, explaining in another video that this loose dress worn by young Muslim women to circumvent the ban on religious symbols is, precisely, not religious clothing: “I didn’t know that clothes had religions, I hope she prays to the dress five times a day”he quips.

France, an “Islamophobic state”

For him, it is understood, France is a “Islamophobic state”in which “even wearing the niqab is no longer enough to prevent your wife from being flirted with in the street” and where even “the great figures of Islam in France are controlled by the State” (in a video where he sharply attacks Hassen Chalghoumi, an imam in Drancy known for his condemnation of jihadism and his support for Israel, but also the Paris mosque which he accuses of violating Muslim precepts by proposing a hamam to women while they do not have the right to go to the hamam according to s4iintt).

Regarding marital morals, we learn from another video that s4iintt's wife is completely veiled, and the videographer once again attacks France since he believes that his wife “struggle to find work” due to wearing the veil. In this same video, the TikToker boasts of working in his wife's place and of managing the business that she wanted to set up himself, which allows her to “stay at home”. In another video on polygamy, s4iintt considers the practice legal but jokes about the fact that you must already have the means to support a first wife before considering taking others: “It’s a real job to have four wives!” he exclaims.

“Want to beat heads”

Modesty is also at the heart of another video where this time he attacks tourists who visit Cologne Cathedral: he describes having seen young girls in tank tops visiting the church, and protests against the tolerance of Christians with this lack of respect for “Jesus” : “I wanted to beat heads”he gets carried away, adding: “Hey Christians, slap people like that! […] We're going to really have to shock these people, I'm Muslim but it affects me.”.

Recurring targets of its videos, apostates who stage their abandonment of the Muslim religion are also regularly singled out, as are Jews since s4iintt explains being sued by another social media star, Amine Mojito, after a video in which s4iintt accused him, among other things, of hiding his Jewish origins to set a trap for Muslims. But s4iintt does not care about the threats of prosecution, because he says, “it’s true justice that worries me, it’s that of Allah”.

S4iintt is not afraid, finally, to joke about his refusal of political correctness, as in a video where he encourages his subscribers to register on DarkGPT, which he presents as an alternative “without filters” to ChatGPT, reporting the example of a friend who wanted to use OpenAI's generative artificial intelligence to “an assignment on a slightly mustachioed person in 1945 who raised his arm a little too high”and therefore regretting the moderation of ChatGP's comments about Hitler. In a video with a tone very different from the seriousness of the acts committed, he is moved by the attack committed in a high school in Arras during which the teacher Dominique Bernard was assassinated by a fanatic who had pledged allegiance to Daesh , first regretting… that this terrorist act harms Muslims.
