By granting the UOIF a prominent place in the French Council of the Muslim Faith (CFCM), the Interior took a big risk. We opted for a very minority fringe protest seeking to politicize Islam at the expense of the vast majority of Muslims who wish to live their faith appeased so as part of the Republic. Thus, an official body such as the CFCM serves as home to Islamists who want to influence the French laws and continually criticize Muslim countries where they are hunted. It’s amazing: the Muslim Brotherhood does not have an official showcase in Egypt or Morocco, but in France, though! It trivializes what is fighted elsewhere. What are the objectives of Youssef al-Qaradhawi, the thinker of the Union of Islamic Organizations in Europe? He wants to restore the caliphate in Muslim countries, and block any effort to adapt for Muslims living in Europe! These people want to import a rigorous and closed Islam. This is precisely why the patrons of the Gulf countries fund. Today, the CFCM is only an issue of power for discussing everything except Muslim spirituality. The next election for the renewal of the CFCM will not change that. It would be more reasonable to rely on the network of large mosques as well as qualified persons in matters of worship that are truly loving principles of our Republic and our common experience. “Soheib Bencheikh,mufti de Marseillehttp://www.lexpress.fr/actualite/societe/religion/la-face-cachee-de-l-uoif_486103.html#3pX74zTZouTvU0lf.99
