“May Allah preserve me to go to TPMP,” wanted the young Tiktokeur in March 2024 (@s4iint) to whom Macron responded on Wednesday about payment by phone without contact with tolls. He then reacted to the resumption by M6 and France 2 of one of his Tiktok, in which he described the choreography of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games as “shame of the century”. It was his first television appearance.
Ten months later, the profile of this twenty-year-old Yemeni origin to the atheist parents, he could explain elsewhere, finds himself in spite of himself in the poster of the program of Cyril Hanouna, where his profile is deemed ” dangerous “. Le Figaro Dresses him an angled portrait “on his Islamist obsessions”, with “themes dear to Islam of the Muslim Brotherhood”. And Jordan Bardella to go from his tweet, believing that “Emmanuel Macron gives credit to one of the dozens of influencers to Islamist sympathies”. The most logical was therefore to go up the thread of his videos to find out more.
“They want to make me pass for a limit guy I joined Daesh”
It was on Tiktok, of course, that S4iint reacted to his 250,000 subscribers: “They want to pass me out for a limited guy I joined Daesh not long ago […] My parents are worried. Wesh. They say to themselves “What's going on, my son speaks to Macron, Jordan Bardella treats the Islamist, he passes on all the channels”. For them, there is the BRI which comes in not long at 6 am. ”
It is true that the tiktok of the young influencer, usually dressed in an qamis or a soccer jersey, regularly speak of Islam, repeat his aversion to music, which “diverts from God”. In some of his many videos, he regrets pell-mell the ban from Abaya at school, defends the wearing of the veil for Muslim women. Also, in a video consulted by 20 Minutes And who seems to have been removed in the morning on Friday, he developed a vision of his little soluble religion in the Republic, where the State does not have to “modify Islam” and interfere in the formation of imams or the content of their sermons.
A convert that is not hidden
If he can therefore show relative proselytism, this tiktokeur also endeavors to defend religious freedoms of other beliefs, and his videos on Islam seem rather to serve a discourse aimed at denouncing “Islamophobic obsession” tinged with racism in France.
-And the young man does not hide it: he is a recent converted to Islam, a practice that he says he started during confinement, and in which he explains that he “found peace”: “I was a person Very very infrequent, but really not at all. […] I was drinking, I smoked, I was even in things not very well regarding money, illegal […] Which earned me many concerns with my parents, and even justice. It was not crazy. A moment ago, I thought, I was going to be in prison, ”says S4iint.
In his two videos devoted to this return to religion, we learn that he has obviously grew in Paris. He was allegedly educated in a Catholic private college by his atheist parents, “quite understanding” about his retraining, although “worried” that he “is embraced by bad people. These are my parents, they are worried about me, which is not bad ”he considered.
S4iint said last December that he wanted to settle in Egypt – the country of the Muslim Brotherhood – for economic reasons and in order to learn Arabic, a language of which his mastery is limited to the reading of suras. He will be able to continue to manage his clothing brand with urban style and 100 % organic cotton t-shirts and hats, called Sp4ctral and which he regularly promotes on his networks. But this Friday, its sales platform was offline.
