French Muslim leaders approve charter outlining 'enlightened Islam'

[Vanguard One]

Paris: President Emmanuel Macron has hailed as a major step for "enlightened Islam" in France a charter approved by Muslim leaders that rejects extremism and upholds "Republican principles over religious values".

Macron has been pushing for the charter since November, when a jihadist beheaded school teacher Samuel Paty for showing cartoons of Mohammed in class.

Talking to Muslim leaders after a meeting rubber-stamping the text, he called it "truly a foundational text in the relationship between the state and the Islam of France". The Elysée Palace said the charter recognised two "essential" political points: "the refusal of all foreign influence" and "the rejection of political Islam" in France. It also eschews "nationalist" groups linked to Turkey.

A new system to license imams will require all preachers to sign the charter, committing to accepting sexual equality and condemning "all forms of racism, discrimination and hatred". The charter also stipulates that claims Muslims are victims of "state racism" is tantamount to "slander".

Mohammed Moussaoui, president of the French Council of the Muslim Faith (CFCM), welcomed the text, saying it "states in a clear way that the principles of the Muslim faith are entirely compatible with the principles of the Republic". But the charter received a sceptical response in some quarters.

Franck Frégosi, a France Islam expert at the French National Centre for Scientific Research, said "I'm not sure this text will receive unanimous support from Islam on the ground, which does not recognise itself in the CFCM, considered an organisation of dignitaries disconnected from the field.

Tareq Oubrou, imam of the mosque of Bordeaux, said: "The CFCM has no influence on the reality of Muslims in France. Muslim scholars and theologians should draw up a text and then submit it to the CFCM, not the other way around."

French Muslim leaders approve charter outlining 'enlightened Islam'

The charter rejects extremism, refuses foreign influence and requires imams to condemn "all forms of racism, discrimination and hatred". It faces resistance from some quarters.

Excellent to see the French are standing their ground against the Muslims. And protecting their freedom of speech, and standing against hate.

You pay people enough they will tell you that milk looks black.

I'd like to know what the actual wording is before believing any "government imam".

So now libtards will fall for macron's islam...

What is it with so many people blaming liberals for everything on this forum?

Are you gonna blame liberals the next time your food is burnt?

Anyone who uses the term "libturd" unironically has the mentality of a 12 year old child, and should not be taken seriously.

I suggest you think on what I just said.
On topic: if Macron thinks this will work, he's a bigger dumbass than I thought he was. He's playing right into the hands of the neonazis, while solving nothing, and creating even more problems for France.

This is gonna backfire, and its gonna backfire hard. Maybe not now or even in the short term, but long term? It's not gonna end well for france. Especially since it's now under extreme scrutiny for its actions in Africa and the Islamic world.

i think i should v elaborated..... Libtards in france may fall for this ..... Just like ours fell for Musharraf.....
i don't want to engage into mud slinging where u start equating libtards with the likes of TTP etc..... Both are enemies of islam IMHO....
If anyone gets hurt with the word 'libtard'.... He is only accrediting himself as a "retarded liberal"... I m not labelling anyone particularly...THX

Lol

Failed antics

So basically Macron is copying China’s Xinjiang policy

Excellent to see the Pakistani are standing their ground against the Hindus. And protecting their freedom of speech, and standing against hate.

Macron was a child when his now wife (then his teacher) was his sexual abuser. He still hasn't recovered. Just what did she do to his little arrogant white ***

Refusal of foreign influence is great. French Muslims should decide what French Islam looks like.

Unfortunately, this is where the logic comes grinding to a halt.

Nobody knows what "political Islam" means, so that's a crock of subjectivity straight off the bat.

"Nationalist groups linked to Turkey" should be selectively targeted why?? Are such groups linked to other countries okay then?

Lastly, condemning all forms of racism etc but waiving one's right to accuse the state of racism??

Are French people illiterate on Mondays? Can they not see how the above is a simple contradiction?

Meanwhile, in "secularism-land", freedom of expression is in safe hands. Muslims could learn from these folks just how to tolerate freedom of opinion, thought and expression. Not even a trace of fundamentalist taliban lobbies there, phew!

Muslims in France are siege by nationalists. They don't really have a choice.

The very word "libtard" is cringy and sounds like a 12 year old made it up.

It's not about being hurt by it, no one is actually hurt by it, it's just cringy and childish.

you a libturd?

But seriously though, I don't consider myself a liberal anymore. Liberals tend to be very wishy washy, and stupidly centrist. I've since come to realize that I'm very much a left wing libertarian.
