The Union of Islamic Organizations of France (UOIF), the unofficial representative of the thinking of the Muslim Brotherhood, will be deprived this year, at its annual congress of Bourget, several of its stars references including some Yousef Al-Qaradhaoui. Notorious fundamentalist, anti-Semitic is spreading a hate speech to the Republic what the UOIF.
Nicolas Sarkozy, the candidate – President announced that he had personally contacted the Emir of Qatar to let her know that Sheikh was undesirable in France. This is obviously good news. A decision must now set a precedent even if it displeases the leaders of the UOIF and their media relays who insist, using rhetorical pedaling to present the preacher as a misunderstood humanitarian.
Through an open letter, I drew attention last week the head of state and of public opinion, to recall, among others, that the speech of Al-Qaradhaoui is the antithesis of the values of the Republic. But beyond this preacher, hate preacher and archaisms, some reflections are needed on the very ambiguous relationship, for ages between Nicolas Sarkozy and the UOIF.
Above all, it is curious that the UOIF, Islamist organization, which, however, condemned the attacks and anti-Semitic speeches, in his official statements, said that it is quite consistent and logical to show smooth image and polite French society while attending extremist preachers who openly advocate hatred, anti-Semitism and violence by exploiting conflicts of a political nature. It is also curious to see the UOIF itself as a religious association while virtually criminalizing policy chapel with the complacency of those leaders who today give the impression to discover this organization, multiply the cries of ospreys while vowing hand on heart that they in no way instrumentalize the Toulouse tragedy.
Finally, it is equally curious to see the UOIF, hijack, with the blessing of the authorities, Islam and Muslims in France and speak on their behalf, so that this association only represents a minority current .
It is necessary to clarify that the UOIF has gained respectability and legitimacy by Nicolas Sarkozy, the interior minister, but also through the same Nicolas Sarkozy, elected president of the Republic. One that seems to discover, during the election campaign, the fundamentalist nature of this organization went “friend” in April 2003, at the Congress of the same association to make a speech to separate women from men legitimizing, by such a presence, the sexist nature of fundamentalist movement.
True, he had defended at risk of being booed, the republican principle, which states that women should remove their veils for the purposes of identification photos, but in return, he insisted that the UOIF, but also Tabligh, a proselytizing association, integrate, both the French Council of the Muslim Faith (CFCM) and imposing fundamentalist organizations more open to other current and advocating an Islam compatible with universal values.
During this honeymoon between the Minister of Interior, the future head of state, and the UOIF, the champion of “positive secularism” has turned into an ardent defender of the association, up to ask journalists, on TV sets, not to see it as a “extremist” organization, “Islamist” or “fundamentalist”, preferring the euphemism muffle Association “Orthodox” while there is no orthodoxy in Islam. Theologically speaking, this concept has no meaning in Islam. But let’s go on semantics …
To paraphrase the title of the book very informative journalist Farid Hannache, we can say, indeed, that Sarkozy has with Islamism “explosive hypocrisies.” It exploits in its own way, the Islam of France and particularly the most fundamentalist he adapts happily when they can serve its interests. Hassan Chalghoumi who lets complacently manipulated by political power, now called the nickname “Imam of the UMP” and some Islamic Associations of Seine Saint-Denis had they not mobilize, sometimes from mosques, a few bearded and other veiled women, they sent buses Villepinte rally? Needless to remember that, obviously, sharia oblige, even when supporting the UMP, women are separated from men and sent to Sarkozy’s Grand Mass in strictly female bus.
See for example how could he, when the constitution of the CFCM, required for the Tabligh organization and fundamentalist proselytizing, represented by the imam Mohamed Hammami the equally fundamentalist mosque in the rue Jean-Pierre Timbaud, integrates the CFCM . Today, the same imam who was also fundamentalist yesterday that today is under the influence of an expulsion procedure … Decidedly, times change during an election campaign.
See also how is it going to castigate from the Toulouse drama, the UOIF, which is not less or more fundamentalist than yesterday while sending emissaries and messengers to “reassure” the current leaders of the association .
In fact, Nicolas Sarkozy wants to these Islamists, not because they are Islamists. They always have been and will remain. The president candidate has a grudge against the UOIF since 2007 because, against all odds, they had indicated at the previous election, they supported François Bayrou. Sarkozy has never forgiven what he calls their “treason” and does not hesitate to know some of his interlocutors.
And if the household, despite everything, his attacks against the UOIF, it is also because he still needs them. At least until 6 May. And because Nicolas Sarkozy intends to include in its balance sheet and to its credit the creation of the CFCM.
But in truth, the organization no longer exists. This is now an empty shell with a simple legal existence. The UOIF left the CFCM instances without much know. She has access requests from the Ministry of Interior and advisors Claude Gueant who beg for nearly a year, officials of the Islamist organization not to make too many waves about their decision not participate in the elections of the CFCM, scheduled for June 2011. They also refused to participate in the election of officers of the institution supposed to represent Muslims. Why? Because they acted like all fundamentalists. They generally like that when electoral processes are favorable.
Seeing that every election showed that they were in the minority reality, contrary to their official speeches and comments of some of their media relays that tend to often present as if they were THE “representatives” almost exclusive, in any case most large, Muslims in France, while they represent, in reality, a tiny minority, recruited in circles rather identifying with the thought of the Muslim Brotherhood or the highly ambiguous discourse and supposedly “modern” Tariq Ramadan , leaders of the UOIF preferred to leave the CFCM they wanted to lead. In fact, even the Great Mosque of Paris refused to take part in the elections in June 2011, but unlike the UOIF, representatives of Dalil Boubekeur still part of the office. At least for now.
In reality, the deal between the Ministry of Interior and the UOIF has led the latter not to criticize the CFCM or to formalize his departure instances the time to let the President and candidate use the creation as one of the CFCM “major works” of his five years. So-called representatives of a religion that leave a cynical political instrumentalize religion and who, while claiming to “defend” Muslims are working from side to propagate an archaic ideology more political than worship, to provide forums with extremist preachers and another to manage low personal ambitions. Islam in France is decidedly a good leasehold.
