Soukayna Ribahi, a 56-year-old French-Moroccan woman living in Evry-Courcouronnes, 30km south of Paris, remembers very well what Jordan Bardella
the big winner of Sunday's European elections
Commenting on a request by Les Hijabeuses, a group of Muslim athletes, to keep their headscarves on during sports competitions, the 28-year-old senior leader of the far-right National Rally (RN) was unequivocal: “In France
Since then, the RN has stepped up a political grade. The third-largest party in the National Assembly, the lower house of parliament, the RN just won the European elections in France with 31.8 percent of the ballot
That stunning result prompted President Emmanuel Macron to dissolve the National Assembly
with snap elections set for the end of the month
the RN could achieve an equally resounding victory and form the first far-right government of France’s post-World War II history
for sure the party will start by removing the veil,” Soukayna told Middle East Eye in front of Evry-Courcouronnes's grand mosque after afternoon prayer on Tuesday
Le Pen and Bardella insult us every day and accuse us of all evils
RN politicians will set themselves against us’
Belhbib now contemplates the idea of leaving France if her practice of religion is challenged by prohibitive laws initiated by a far-right government
RN politicians will set themselves against us,” Belhbib told MEE
and cut with the sulphurous personality of its founder
notably by changing its name from National Front to National Rally
However, it still advocates policies deemed xenophobic and discriminatory against minorities, especially Muslims
who account for seven to 10 percent of the country’s 67 million inhabitants
making it the largest Muslim community in Europe
president of the NGO Action Droits des Musulmans (Muslims Rights Action)
the minority group is endangered by the political rise of the far-right
“We are heading towards a disaster,” she told MEE
accusing Macron of “giving the victory to the RN” by calling snap elections
The community activist blames political leaders
for having paved the way to the far right by targeting Muslims
“Macron has been playing far-right politics for seven years with discriminatory measures and extremely powerful security tools aimed at Muslims,” she said
‘Macron has been playing far-right politics for seven years with discriminatory measures and extremely powerful security tools aimed at Muslims’
restricting home schooling and introducing an offence of “separatism” punishable by up to five years in prison
Edouard Philippe, prime minister at the time, later called for a “differentiated treatment of Islam […] with special obligations imposed on Muslims and their leaders.”
Last year, the government banned the abaya – a garment worn by Muslim women that covers the body from the neck to the feet – in schools, and forbid women athletes from wearing the hijab at the Paris Olympic games to be held this summer
“there is no difference between the right and the far right"
The activist deplores “the normalisation of racist and Islamophobic speeches” which
has led to “the demonisation of Muslims” and allowed the RN to “let itself slide towards victory in the European elections"
and vice-president of the French Council of Muslim Worship (CFCM)
a national elected body created to ensure the representation of the Muslim faith before the authorities
the head of the CFCM fears the situation of Muslims in France could further deteriorate if the RN seizes a parliamentary majority and has free rein to apply its xenophobic and anti-Muslim agenda
but also that of Muslims and ethnic minorities
There will be many departures abroad in the event of a victory of the far-right,” Zine expects
In a study published last April under the title "France
academics Julien Talpin and Olivier Esteves questioned 1,000 French Muslims who left the country to no longer experience racism and discrimination because of their faith
According to Talpin
even tens of thousands” of Muslims are joining this exodus
Zine believes that to avoid having to choose the path of exile
French Muslims still residing in France must make their voice heard by voting in large numbers in the legislative elections against the RN
The rector of the Grand Mosque of Paris, Chems-Eddine Hafiz, has just made a similar call
asking Muslims to go to the polls for the two rounds of the elections
“Muslims feel exploited by the recurring calls for a ‘vote barrage’ [obstruction vote] against the far right
without seeing real changes in the public policies that concern them,” Amel Boubeker
researcher at the School of Advanced Studies in the Social Sciences (EHESS) in Paris, told MEE
Many Muslims are in "a wait-and-see position which reflects a deep disgust for current politics
but above all a disillusionment with the ability of the Republican institutions to counter agendas which divide the society,” she added
According to a poll, more than 60 percent of French Muslims voted for the left-wing party France Unbowed (LFI) in the European elections on Sunday
Those results are in keeping with those of the 2022 presidential election
when 69 percent of them chose LFI leader Jean-Luc Melenchon
Belhbib and their friends from the mosque who did not vote for the European elections do not plan to go to the polls for the coming legislative ballot
They are not even registered on the electoral lists
Our voice has never counted anyway,” Ribahi said

French president Emmanuel Macron takes part in a meeting in Évry-Courcouronnes on Feb
Stung by criticism, and with his government rocked by ongoing protests from yellow vest demonstrators, French President Emmanuel Macron last month launched a nationwide series of community conversations — what his government calls a grand debat national or "great national debate." Since mid-January
local leaders and ordinary citizens have been meeting to hear and respond to complaints
The public forums are set to continue through March 15
The French president is hoping the meetings will help quell the yellow vest crisis by allowing citizens to express their anger and frustrations
He has promised to take all ideas and suggestions into account for the second half of his term
Macron has personally attended several of these gatherings, and on Monday, visited the town of Évry-Courcouronnes
took notes and responded to complaints and proposals on how to fix the problems people face in les banlieues
suburban towns and the directors of local community associations
"I realize there is a rupture in the values of the French Republic when it comes to the suburbs
and the guarantee of equality doesn't always extend to these neighborhoods," Macron told them
Anti-riot police walk alongside protesters during an anti-government demonstration called by the yellow vest movement in Marseille on Jan
where suburbs connote green lawns and ease of life
the term is synonymous with high unemployment
The banlieues that ring large French cities are generally home to immigrants and French citizens of immigrant descent
Removed from the wealth and jobs of the cities
it might seem the suburbs would have grievances in common with the rural yellow-vesters
But the banlieues have not joined the yellow vest movement
Abdallah Abdourahim, who leads a conseil citoyen group that helps people in some of the poorest neighborhoods
says it's almost as if the yellow vest movement made France discover that people are suffering
But those in the suburbs have known it all along
"People in the suburbs have felt on the margins of society for a while and no one's helped them," he says
"So that's why they haven't felt concerned with the yellow vest cause
It's like people are just discovering things that we've been living with
suddenly the rest of the country is waking up to how the police act."
Abdourahim is referring to the scenes of violence between riot police and yellow vest protesters that have played out weekly since the protests began in mid-November
Though there is a debate over who is at fault
the demonstrations have shined a light on police brutality
Discrimination is one topic that comes up time and again in Évry-Courcouronnes
People say their chances of finding a job or other opportunities are lower because of their address and their non-French sounding names
That has not been a complaint from the yellow vest movement
speaks at Monday's meeting with President Emmanuel Macron
she expressed frustration with delays in a Paris metro extension to her town
"When your name is Muhammed and you come from a poor neighborhood
you don't exactly have the same consideration as when your name is Pierre or Jacques," says Abdourahim
François Durovray, president of the Essonne region where Évry-Courcouronnes is located
says although the rural yellow-vest world and the suburbs have some common problems
"The yellow vesters have just started to realize that they've been downgraded — that they don't live anymore as they once did
But the people in the suburbs were born downgraded."
The problems of France's suburbs have persisted for decades and successive governments have promised to fix them
"A lot of people have given up hope," says Bahran El Fakhar
who heads an association to help youth in the Paris suburb of Chanteloup-les-Vignes
"Forty percent of people under the age of 25 are unemployed," he says
And we have to fight against this resignation and mistrust."
People don't care that Macron promised to raise the minimum wage by 100 euros a month, says Catherine Arenou, the mayor of Chanteloup-les-Vignes
because they don't even earn the minimum wage
the head of a women's association says there's another reason residents have stayed away from the yellow vest movement
"It's not that the suburbs disagree with the yellow vests' demands," Adolé Ankrah says
"But we didn't want to be blamed for the violence."
Ankrah says people from the banlieues are stigmatized and they would have surely been held responsible for shop looting and car burning
She says it's great the president has come to converse with residents of the suburbs
even if the debates weren't originally launched for them
"Macron answers our questions and is open to criticism and suggestions."
Macron's popularity, which plummeted late last year as the yellow vest protests erupted, has seen a boost in recent weeks
is wondering if the great national debate will actually produce any results

Authorities say one of the terrorists in Friday’s attacks was Ismael Omar Mostefai
Print Reporting from Courcouronnes
France — In this heavily Muslim suburb of Paris
there was a nagging fear in the back of many minds on Sunday: Would the latest spasm of violence in the name of Islam bring retaliation against their community
“Of course we are scared,” said one worshiper at the Evry-Courcouronnes mosque
an ethnically diverse community full of low-rise public housing about 20 miles south of the center of Paris
The people who carried out the murders were not Muslim
In the wake of Friday’s terrorism strikes in Paris
some residents of this suburb – built in the 1970s to offer a cheaper
but now mostly home to poorer immigrants – faced the possibility that some might view them as the enemy
French officials have warned of the possibility of cracking down on mosques deemed as harboring Muslim radicals
said Sunday that the state of emergency declared Friday gives the government the means to act more quickly against those “who preach hatred in France,” including through expulsions and the “dissolution” of radical mosques
“I didn’t wait for the state of emergency to track down radical imams who preach hatred and to address places of worship where they preach that hatred,” Cazeneuve said in an interview with France 2 TV
He said the expansion of government powers will allow the authorities to be “much quicker in the expression of the republic’s resolve ..
No public mention has been made of targeting mosques in Courcouronnes
but that hasn’t stopped residents here from worrying about the general atmosphere across Europe
It didn’t help that far-right National Front leader Marine Le Pen quickly called on fellow citizens to “annihilate Islamist fundamentalism” and to “take back control” of their borders
Nor that Muslim communities across Europe have already seen an uptick in attacks in response to the wave of migrants and refugees seeking shelter from wars and poverty in their homelands
an asylum shelter was bombed in the German state of Saxony
while groups of people wielding bats harassed and beat asylum seekers in two other German cities
And it especially didn’t help that French prosecutors said one of the gunmen who stormed into the Bataclan concert hall in Paris on Friday
was born in the Canal neighborhood before moving as a child to the French city of Chartres – and possibly spending recent time in Syria
said he remembered Mostefai and his family
who he said left the neighborhood when he was around 5 or 6 years old
Dem echoed the concerns that the latest attack would stir up more anti-Muslim sentiment across France
were repeatedly depicted as criminals in France
you get the impression that we are all bad
I don’t want to be mistaken for a criminal,” he said
“Every month there is something against Muslims but the Muslims live here peacefully
In the wake of the attacks on satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo in January
there was a marked rise in the number of anti-Muslim acts of aggression
Dem recalled witnessing a woman wearing a head scarf being verbally abused on a bus by another passenger
This was in spite of the fact that one of the victims of the January attack was a Muslim police officer named Ahmed Merabet
Merabet’s fatal shooting at point-blank range reinforced in many people’s minds the idea that the attack was not about religion but an indiscriminate desire to kill and spread fear
The slogan “Je Suis Ahmed” quickly gained traction and Merabet became a symbol of a positive Muslim role model that the French nation could unite around
The events on Friday at the Bataclan concert hall
Stade de France and several cafes in Paris’ hippest neighborhoods have yet to present any such counternarrative
Islamic lessons were canceled all weekend after President Francois Hollande announced three days of mourning
When the call to prayer went out on Sunday afternoon
several dozen men arrived and filed into the main hall
which is packed during the week with several hundred worshipers
The attacks were not far from many people’s lips
who would give his first name only as Bacare
and then in prison they are told this is Islam
Bacare said the terrorist attacks were politically motivated and held out hope that France could stay united
we respect the law of the country and we work
respect the inhabitants,” he said of the Muslim community
“No one culture is above the other and this was an attack against France

says president during national debate tour
The French president, Emmanuel Macron, has conceded there has been a “clear breakdown in equality” in high-rise suburbs and housing estates on the edge of major cities as he tours France to try to stem the gilets jaunes (yellow vest) anti-government protests
Macron said the state must “guarantee social justice” and stop people in deprived suburban areas becoming trapped “under a form of social house arrest” as he appeared at a town hall building south of Paris to debate for several hours with mayors and community activists on Monday
But he hinted that further public spending cuts could be made
if we spend in the right places,” he argued
Macron’s pro-business presidency has in effect been put on hold for more than two months and his programme to overhaul labour and the welfare state has stalled as he instead grapples to contain gilets jaunes street protests against him.
Read moreHe is now trying to kickstart his promised “transformation” of France with a two-month national “great debate” involving town-hall meetings across France where citizens can present their views on taxation
Macron has deliberately been making high-profile appearances at certain town-hall debates alongside mayors across France
rolling up his shirtsleeves and sometimes debating for up to six hours at a time
After facing heckling and jeers when he went out at the height of the gilets jaunes crisis in November and December
he is now making carefully organised public appearances at debates
But the high-rise suburban estates on the outskirts of French cities – which for decades have struggled with unemployment and discrimination – have not featured prominently in the gilets jaunes crisis
Macron’s appearance on Monday night in Évry-Courcouronnes
was aimed at showing he was listening to communities in the French suburbs or banlieues
where many feel he has failed to address their concerns
Macron met more than 300 elected officials and leaders of community groups from deprived communities
Many expressed their exasperation to the president
warning of the “segregation” and “ghettoisation” of communities
won applause when he said deprived communities on the outskirts of cities “don’t want charity but justice”
He said social and “territorial apartheid” existed in France and had not been fixed by the state
He said people on housing estates felt that in the eyes of the government they didn’t exist
fraternity” was “reserved for those of a certain caste”
Macron insisted that by coming to local debates with mayors “I hear things I wouldn’t otherwise hear”
He said he had “convictions” but not “all the solutions”
He said if everything he’d done had worked perfectly
To one mayor of a deprived area who beseeched him: “Don’t abandon us!”
is an exercise that has never been attempted before in France
Some political opponents – and gilets jaunes protesters themselves – have questioned whether the government will really listen to citizens’ suggestions
Macron’s personality has become the focus of gilets jaunes protests, which began as a fuel tax revolt in November and quickly morphed into an angry movement against the president, who is accused of arrogance and favouring the rich with pro-business policies
Although Macron’s poll ratings have inched up slightly among rightwing voters who approve of measures to crack down on protests
his overall approval ratings remain low – hovering between 25% and 35%
A majority of French people see him as cut off from reality
A recent poll by Elabe found that almost eight in 10 French people thought he was authoritarian
In the run-up to European elections in May
is polling neck and neck with Marine Le Pen’s far-right National Rally

Neighbours did not perceive anything odd about him
he had appeared on a police radicalisation file
housing association house in a quiet cul-de-sac in the French cathedral city of Chartres was as unremarkable as Omar Ismail Mostefai himself had seemed to neighbours when he lived there for several years until 2012
“His wife didn’t work and they had a very young daughter
nothing stood out,” said the couple who lived opposite
he had long hair and a short beard and didn’t dress in a religious way

it was because a severed fingertip allowed police to match his prints to the record of a driving offence

a post office and a canal where one person had set up a fishing rod on Sunday afternoon
has a young population and a high proportion of social housing
nor does it share the reputation of other much tougher estates in neighbouring Évry or nearby in Grigny
How events unfolded on Friday night in Paris GuardianBut the banlieue question of the French attackers who grew up in the poor
segregated suburbs will now once again be pushed to the fore in the current atmosphere of political debate dominated by the rise of the far right and questions of national identity
After January’s attacks by young men from poor backgrounds, the prime minister, Manuel Valls, who was once mayor of Évry, made the most damning indictment yet of the country’s longstanding bitter social divide, saying there was “territorial
“We mustn’t tarnish everyone who lives on estates, that would be a real problem for France,” warned a retired Air France worker in Courcouronnes on Sunday
One man who was at high school with him said: “He wasn’t a troublemaker. He was someone who stood up for himself; you wouldn’t provoke him because you knew that he’d stand up for himself if you did. But he wasn’t someone who went looking for problems. He was calm; he wasn’t someone who you’d notice, who stood out.”
Read moreHe said Mostefai went to Friday prayers and observed Ramadan
but at that time he did not seem to be someone very “serious” about religion
Mostefai moved from Courcouronnes to Chartres after school
It was not clear whether his mother and siblings moved
His end-of-terrace house was near La Madeleine
One pensioner walking his dog shrugged: “If young people had work
they wouldn’t have time to commit idiotic atrocities like this
Mostefai had been the subject of a police “S” file for radicalisation but the state prosecutor said he had never been implicated in any case of a terrorist organisation
Several homegrown terrorists before him had previously been the subject of the same kind of police file before later carrying out horrific attacks
including Mohamed Merah who carried out a gun attack on a Jewish school in Toulouse in 2012 after deadly attacks on soldiers
who carried out the Charlie Hebdo attacks with his brother
Police are reported to be investigating whether Mostefai travelled to Syria in 2013–2014. If so, this would increase the pressure on French intelligence services in a country that has exported more jihadis than any other in Europe and where security services are challenged by monitoring those who return
The local paper Le Journal du Centre reported Mostefai attended a mosque in Lucé
and could have followed a radical Belgium-based Islamist who visited the mosque
said: “The question is whether there is a cell in Chartres or whether Mostefai was an isolated individual with other Belgian networks or others.”
Outside the small mosque building next to high-rise council blocks in Lucé, Abdallah Benali from the team that had been running the mosque since 2013 said they did not know Mostefai and that the mosque respected the law and had always worked with all authorities. He said the Paris attacks were “a catastrophe”
A Moroccan 30-year-old who had attended the mosque since 2010 said he had never heard of any radical preachers there or heard of Mostefai
“The people who do this kind of thing are born in France
Mostefai’s relatives in France were being questioned by police — a routine procedure in such cases
who voluntarily went to a police station in Essonne
told AFP he had lost touch with him for years
“It has been a while since I’ve had any news of him,” he said

Accor announced on Monday that it sold two MGallery hotels in Europe to Internos Real Investors for €44 million (US$55 million)
signed 15-year leases with Internos to continue to operation the 148-room The Convent Hotel Amsterdam and the 207-room Mondial Am Dom Cologne
Both properties will receive renovations for a total investment of €19.7 million (US$24.6 million)
The turnover rent for the leases averages 21.5% of the annual revenue of the hotels
the net variable rent would have reached €3 million (US$3.7 million) last year
real estate taxes and structural capital expenditures will be paid by the new owner from now on
Accor said the sale is in line with its asset-light business strategy, of which the ultimate goal is to reduce adjusted net debt by €2.2 billion (US$2.7 billion)

gay teenagers are almost 15 times more likely than those who are straight to kill themselves because of their sexual orientation
I decided to create an association in support of gay French Muslims
I don't believe that the issue of minorities' rights allows citizens to carry specific claims, or make exceptions. It simply allows us to address issues that concern all French Muslims, and beyond that, all of our citizens. Looking at feminism and homosexuality within Islam permits us to look at our relation towards religious authority, to question institutional dogma and by extension, to ponder freedom itself – the freedom to define our identity, without concession, compromise or submission.
This article was amended on 26 November to correct a reference to "gender identity" and replace it with "sexual orientation" in the first paragraph that was an error in the translation process

The government has said ‘all options’ are on the table to restore order after a third night of violence in cities around the country. Anthony Cuthbertson reports from Nanterre
the Paris suburb where 17-year-old Nahel was shot dead
I would like to be emailed about offers, events and updates from The Independent. Read our Privacy notice
France’s President Emmanuel Macron has urged parents to keep teenagers at home. while his government is considering "all options" to restore order after rioters torched cars and buildings and looted shops across the country in a third night of violence over the police killing of a teenager during a traffic stop in a Paris suburb
who has so far resisted growing calls to declare a state of emergency
arrived in Paris from Brussels after leaving a European Union summit early to attend a second crisis cabinet meeting in two days
he said: "We sometimes have the feeling that some of them are living in the streets the video games that have intoxicated them."
He also said he would ask social media platforms to remove "the most sensitive" footage of rioting from their feeds – saying that it is fuelling copycat violence
He did not specify the content he had in mind but said: "I expect a spirit of responsibility from these platforms"
when "useful," the identities "of those who use these social networks to call for disorder or exacerbate the violence"

The prime minister, Elisabeth Borne, said that "the priority is to ensure national unity and the way to do it is to restore order" during a visit to Evry-Courcouronnes outside the capital. She said that "all options" were on the table, when asked about the possibility of a state of emergency being declared. She has called the violence "intolerable and inexcusable".
There were at least 875 arrests overnight into Friday. Mr Macron said a third of the individuals of those were "young people, sometimes very young", and that "it's the parents' responsibility" to keep their children at home. Nearly half of those arrested were from the Paris region.
More than 200 police were also injured as 40,000 officers were deployed across dozens of cities. The Interior Ministry said 79 police posts were attacked overnight, as well as hundreds of buildings. The fire service were also called out to more than 6,000 fires across the country.
Shops and vehicles were set ablaze in the Paris suburb of Nanterre – where 17-year-old Nahel M was shot and killed by a policeman during a traffic stop on Tuesday – with residents worried about the escalating unrest.
“It’s getting worse and worse,” said Pascal Matieus, as he picked shards of broken glass from the shattered windows of his salad shop on Friday morning. “It’s become completely out of control. The police have lost control.”
It is the third clean-up operation in a row for residents and officials here, with one saying he expects to be back again on Saturday morning.
Looters also targeted shops in the Les Halles district of Paris. Outside the Nike store, tourists peered through caved-in windows while one local called out for them to be careful.
“It’s dead, it’s dead, there’s no more order,” he said, asking not to be named. “His friend, who had come down with him from a northern suburb, countered: “It’s fine, it’s fine, just be careful at night. It’s the police we hate, not tourists.”
A number of towns around Paris, including Clamart, Compiègne and Neuilly-sur-Marne, have imposed full or partial night-time curfews, while a police intelligence report that was leaked to French media predicted “widespread urban violence over the coming nights”.
The unrest extended as far as Belgium's capital, Brussels, where about a dozen people were detained during scuffles related to the shooting in France and several fires were brought under control.
A lawyer for the 38-year-old officer who shot Nahel – who faces preliminary charges of voluntary homicide – said he had offered an apology to the teenager’s family. “The first words he pronounced were to say sorry and the last words he said were to say sorry to the family,” Laurent-Franck Lienard told BFMTV. “He is devastated, he doesn’t get up in the morning to kill people.”
The Nanterre public prosecutor, Pascal Prache, said on Thursday that Nahel died from a single shot through his left arm and chest while driving off after being stopped by police. The officer said he had opened fire because he feared that he and his colleague or someone else could be hit by the car, according to Mr Prache.
“The public prosecutor considers that the legal conditions for using the weapon have not been met,” Mr Prache said.
Nahel's mother, identified as Mounia, told France 5 television that she is angry at the officer who killed her only child, but not at the police in general. "He saw a little, Arab-looking kid, he wanted to take his life," she said, adding that justice should be "very firm."
"A police officer cannot take his gun and fire at our children, take our children's lives," she said.
Nahel's grandmother told Algerian television Ennahar TV that her family has roots in Algeria. Algeria's foreign affairs ministry said in a statement Thursday that grief is widely shared in the North African country.
Nahel's death has brought to the surface grievances about racial profiling and police violence. Last year, 13 people were fatally shot during traffic stops in France, with Nahel’s death marking the third so far this year. Figures from Reuters show the majority of victims to be Black or of Arab origin.
The UN’s human rights office said the current unrest in France is a chance for the country "to address deep issues of racism in law enforcement". A UN spokeswoman in Geneva pointed to a recent report by the UN committee on the elimination of racial discrimination, which last December expressed concern at aspects of policing in France, including what the report suggested was the disproportionate use of identity checks and imposition of fines on specific ethnic groups.
"Any accusation of racism or systematic discrimination in the police force in France is totally unfounded," the French government said in response.
A state of emergency would grant “extraordinary powers” in order to restore security. The last time such measures were introduced was in 2015 following the Paris attacks, when terrorists killed 130 people in a series of coordinated shootings and suicide bombings.
Th last time it was used in a situation like the current unrest was in 2005. It was used then to quell weeks of rioting around France that followed the death of two teenagers fleeing police. The boys were electrocuted after hiding from police in a power substation in Clichy-sous-Bois.

How does a religious minority fit within secular France
the appearance of the hijab (Muslim headscarf) in French public schools has opened the most impassioned debate over the role of laïcité (secularism) in French society since the separation of church and state in 1905
Conflicts between Muslim adolescents and school authorities have extended beyond the schools to involve intellectuals
a new law has been passed that bans all overt religious symbols from public schools
The Conflicted Beginning of French Secularism
The term laïcité implies more than the legal separation of church and state; it is also a philosophy of public life and a fundamental principle of French culture
the law separating the French church and state
legislators’ chief objective was not to regulate the domain of religion
The Catholic Church dominated the French state before the revolution of 1789
and the Church opposed liberal values into the 20th century
Laïcité thus emerged as much from a desire to “undo” the religious sphere as to reconcile it with the public sphere
French secularism now involves the protection of religion from government interference
secularism initially also meant the protection of the state from religious interference
The French political figures who established the laïcité law of 1905 were continuing the legacy of the Enlightenment
which held positivism — a belief in the power of secular humanism — as a central tenet
They followed a doctrine that confirms the triumph of the rational human being over the forces of religion
in which the state may function as a counter-model to religious faith
was seen as the means for cultivating a “new man” committed to reason
Islam and French Secularism: The Roots of the Conflict
the national school system became an ideal forum in which to diminish the influence of the Catholic Church and to make clear the distinction between church and state
it is difficult for French teachers to even talk about religion in state schools
The irony is that the laïcité law resulted from a conflict between the Republic and the Catholic Church
and yet its passage has not allowed France to officially erase its Catholic past
Seven of the country’s 11 national holidays coincide with Catholic celebrations — even as President Jacques Chirac has rejected a proposal to set aside one school holiday each for Jews and Muslims
and Protestant schools receive state subsidies
and will be exempt under the new law regarding religious symbols
that is hoping to obtain an exemption as well
there exists an aversion to religious expression in France that is entirely unknown in the United States
Pluralism and competition between religions have marked American society since its origin
Religious differences were common among the first migrants to America
while the religious history of Europe has been dominated by the monopoly of one faith in each national context
so did the diversity of its religious makeup
Muslims and Buddhists have all found a place in American society
Migrants came to America to practice their religion unmolested
and the freedom of religious expression is a substantial part of the freedom of expression and individuality that are the hallmarks of American society
religious expression is often seen as the cause of public and civic perturbations — something that needs to be regulated and controlled
The dominant perception of Muslims in France is based upon an inaccurate but still-lingering colonial image of a violent and static Islam
inspired by a tumultuous colonial history (particularly the war in Algeria) remain in the French collective memory
is often perceived as an outdated symbol of female subjugation
The status of women in Islam appears to many as the antithesis of the principle of non-discrimination that governs relations between individuals in French society
Some go so far as to put the veil on par with the swastika as a divisive symbol
France’s colonial history in Islamic countries
which has no real equivalent in American culture
exerts a strong influence on the French administration of Islam
French secularism does more than simply protect religious freedom or the political independence of religious organizations
So the secularization of Islam has involved adapting Muslim organizations to preexisting structures of Church-State relations
several Ministers of the Interior initiated a dialogue and rapprochement between leading branches of Islam and Islamic organizations
The successive negotiations led to the election in April 2003 of a representative body of Islam
Le Conseil Francais du Culte Musulman (CFCM)
that has been recognized by the French State
Islam is merely a component of a diverse religious landscape
It is also the fastest growing religion in the country (the rate of conversion to Islam in the U.S
is extremely high in comparison to Europe)
Half of the American Muslim community is composed of converts — primarily
This does not mean that Islam has been completely accepted into American society
there is a strong judicial tradition of defending religious freedom
the American judiciary can rule on cases of religious discrimination without creating a nationwide debate — which is why wearing the hijab isn’t a political issue in the U.S.

An Israeli journalist originally from France was shocked to discover that one of the terrorists who took part in the Paris attacks last week was someone from his home town, and with whom he attended high school, Israel’s Channel 2 reported on Tuesday
Julien Bahloul said of 29-year-old Omar Ismayil Mostefai
who blew himself up at the Bataclan Theater during Friday night’s multi-pronged attacks – and was later identified by one of his severed fingers – that the two had grown up together in Courcouronnes
said that though he did not initially remember Mostefai
he understood from the terrorist’s biographical details that he had lived in the same neighborhood
was the same age and had attended the same school
was “suffering greatly from antisemtism at that school.”
a Muslim who always stood up for him and other Jewish students victimized by antisemitic verbal and physical assaults
but remembered having to defend Jewish students — including Bahloul — from him
Bahloul described his feelings in the wake of the Paris attacks
which left more than 130 dead and several hundred wounded
and after realizing his former connection to one of its perpetrators
and reminds me of the problem with French society
which I have known about for a long time – that the French are not waking up to the fact that a portion of their youth have gone crazy
[They have not] wanted to see the escalating extremism of kids in the suburbs.”
Contemplating the opposite paths he and Mostefai took in life
“I immigrated to Israel and became a journalist
while he went to Syria and became a terrorist.”
Δdocument.getElementById( "ak_js_1" ).setAttribute( "value"
France: Omar Ismail Mostefai was known to police as nothing more than a petty criminal before he became the first gunman identified from Friday's attacks in Paris
which was found among the rubble of the Bataclan concert hall
the 29-year-old was one of three men who blew himself up killing 89 people in the bloodiest scene of the carnage
Mostefai's criminal record shows eight convictions for petty crimes between 2004 and 2010
Paris prosecutor Francois Molins said Mostefai had been singled out as a high-priority target for radicalisation in 2010 but
he had "never been implicated in an investigation or a terrorist association"
Investigators are now probing whether he took a trip to Syria last year
The killer's father and 34-year-old brother were placed in custody on Saturday evening and their homes were searched
"Yesterday I was in Paris and I saw how this shit went down."
one of four boys in the family along with two sisters
turned himself in to police after learning Mostefai was involved in the attacks
While he had cut ties with Mostefai several years ago
and knew he had been involved in petty crimes
his brother said he had never imagined his brother could be radicalised
Mostefai had gone to Algeria with his family and his "little girl," he said
adding: "It's been a time since I have had any news."
she didn't seem to know anything," he said Saturday
A source close to the enquiry said Mostefai regularly attended the mosque in Luce
Medhi Benatia has successfully completed a switch away from the Allianz Arena after agreeing personal terms with the Italian champions Juventus
The loan spell – which cost £2.5 million- will be for the entire season with the additional option of a permanent transfer for £14.3 million over the next two years
The Moroccan makes his first return to Italy having had a spell at Udinese and AS Roma between 2010 and 2014
Born Medhi Amine Benatia El Mouttaqi on 17 April 1987 in Courcouronnes
he spent his youthful career at Clairefontaine and Guingamp before finally settling in Marseille in 2003
Benatia would spend the next two years climbing through the ranks before finally gaining promotion into the senior team in 2005
His impact in the team was however never felt and as such
a series of loan spells in the first and second division of the French Ligue ensued
A change of fortune may have come in 2010 when he returned to Serie A
but the real turnaround was in 2014 when he was signed by Bayern after having a career changing season at Roma
Will it prove to be another steal by Juventus
More often than not there have been discussions on how Bayern Munich ruthlessly dominates the Bundesliga
but the one team that has been massively under-looked is Juventus
The Old Lady has with inexorable efficiency walked the Italian league by setting a new record of successively winning the Scudetto in the last five years
Juventus attained a milestone by winning their 32nd title last season- the joint highest [alongside Real Madrid] in the top five Leagues in Europe
Juventus have made a name for themselves by signing players who are seemingly past their peaks
then transforming them into world class players by rejuvenating their best years
The Italians notoriously signed a peaked Patrice Evra from Manchester United in 2014
but the then 33-year old went on to play in both the Champions League and European Championship Final
Mario Mandzukic and Sami Khedira joined the club last season and this summer won’t be any different as the Old Lady has already completed the signing of Dani Alves from Barcelona – albeit on a free transfer
Playing alongside a veteran like Leonardo Bonucci at the back
Medhi Benatia will without fear of contradiction excel at Juventus

Chouat avait annoncé sur X être atteint d’un cancer en avril 2023
Il avait été élu maire d’Evry en 2012, succédant à Manuel Valls, alors nommé ministre de l’intérieur dans le gouvernement de Jean-Marc Ayrault. Réélu en 2014, M. Chouat quitte son mandat après avoir été élu député en novembre 2018, succédant là aussi à M. Valls
Il avait alors rejoint les rangs de La République en marche (LRM
devenant député apparenté du parti macroniste
Il avait brièvement adhéré au Parti socialiste (PS)
avant de rejoindre les rangs du PCF en 1972
Il ne s’était pas représenté aux élections législatives de 2022
mais était toujours conseiller municipal d’Evry-Courcouronnes
« Il laisse (…) un grand vide dans le cœur des habitants d’Evry-Courcouronnes et de la première circonscription de l’Essonne, a écrit M. Valls sur sa page Facebook
son engagement au PCF puis au PS – qu’il a fini par quitter –
étaient mis au service de l’intérêt général

l'homme qui a causé la mort d'au moins 80 personnes au Bataclan vendredi soir
Ismaël Omar Mostefaï y a conservé des liens jusqu’aux années 2000
il a habité un appartement d’une résidence rue du Pont Amar
Une ancienne voisine commente : « Ce petit était si timide
enfant… » Elle raconte les repas partagés : « Nous étions proches avec sa mère
Chacune cuisinait la spécialité de son pays et on s’invitait régulièrement
» Dans le quartier les jeunes se souviennent : « Ismaël paradait dans le quartier avec des motos »
A lire : Ils s'appelaient Romain, Djamila, Marie, Valentin...
En grandissant le jeune homme aurait rompu les liens familiaux
l’un de ses frères a même expliqué à des riverains : « Cela fait des années que l’on ne se parle plus
» Un autre voisin lâche dans l’embrasure de sa porte : « Depuis que les Mostefaï ont déménagé
Ismaël n’a jamais remis un pied dans le quartier »
Un jeune du coin précise que la famille a quitté la ville à cause « des mauvaises fréquentations d’Ismaël »
Certains avouent qu’il appartenait à une bande entrée en rivalité avec une autre
Les parents ont donc pris la décision de partir
Dans un quartier pavillonnaire calme et entretenu de Chartres

il cumule déjà de nombreux délits de droit communs : violence volontaire avec usage ou menace d'armes
Il échappe à l'incarcération et donne naissance à une petite fille
il a hérité une peau blanche et un regard clair
» Ismaël jouait au foot avec ses frères et son père
quand la famille déménage une nouvelle fois
ont mis deux ans à se construire un vaste pavillon dans un quartier résidentiel de Romilly-sur-Seine
La ville compte d’importantes communautés maghrébines et portugaises
cela a peut-être influencé le choix d’y passer leurs vieux jours

On the first day of LFL Holy Days in the Arènes of Évry-Courcouronnes, I had the opportunity to chat with KCB Volodymyr “Maynter” Sorokin, following my interview with Yukino
The toplaner discussed about his team’s unfortunate run at the EM Winter
the situation in Ukraine as a hurdle on his way to the LEC and his approaching departure from KC
Ethan: You’ve known the French crowd for a long time
Maynter: Those moments are obviously great
there’s so much noise.” But it was not a first time for me
doing wrist exercises and I’m listening to the crowd
It was some good vibes and a good mood before the game
Ethan: I wanted to have your feeling on the EMEA Masters
because I saw you being kind of loud about it on your socials…
but I dont see even 1 team who could win at least 1 map in bo5 vs our main rosterlife is cool

we would have won 3-1 in the final with Boukada and Piero
Ethan: It’s been two years since you’ve joined the org
I feel like I won’t stay here for a long time
I was talking to my girlfriend and thinking that it will feel empty when I leave
Because every time I come to the same boot camp
I come to Paris… I’ve had two homes and always switched
And now it will be like… Maybe like in six months
I think players that stay in academy for such a long time
it’s kind of not good even for the academy
So I think two years is enough and I will look for something new
For the first time in my life I felt like I was part of something huge, part of a big mechanism that brings happiness and unites thousands of peopleJe porterai toute ma vie les émotions que j'ai vécues à KCX dans mon cœur, merci les gars 🩵(pls send photo with me, if u have🙏) pic.twitter.com/9FePexm6qO

a lot of teams don’t understand how it works
And some teams understand and they’re still afraid of risks
But I’m trying my best to make it possible for me to live in Germany (the LEC Arena is in Berlin)
they’re just afraid to figure out about this
but Galions were talking to me and they were like: “You’re still in Ukraine
sorry.” And I didn’t even get to tryout because they were like
Maynter: It’s only about love. I’m enjoying moments with you guys. I will work harder. And I hope we will win more and more and more. Not only LFL
I want to win EMEA Masters at least once in my life

Solary had a successful weekend at LFL Days. With two wins over some of the heavy favourites in the French league (Karmine Corp Blue and Galions)
Mark “Markoon” van Woensel talked about the energy of the Solary fans
the tense matches he played at the Arènes of Évry-Courcouronnes
Ethan: You’ve just beaten two title contenders
we were fighting for the title last split already
I came into this this team with the ambition to win
So just because we came third last split doesn’t mean we were not fighting for the title back then

Markoon: The amount of dopamine I got after that game
because the game was so back and forth and it started so good
I was getting really hyped and then we started throwing
Are we going to lose against KC again with 8K gold lead
Those f*cking bounties popped up again and we started losing and then we won in the end anyway
Ethan: I feel like for the first time in your career you are the experienced player of the roster in Solary
Markoon: I think when I got thrown into SK
I kind of already was the most experienced player there
But then I think I was completely ill prepared for that role
I wasn’t even close to being a leader in SK
But after 2 years of more development in the LEC I guess
like now I actually feel like I’m doing a much better job
but I think I am actually being a way better leader that I would like to be
Rather than for example in SK when I kind of had to take on the same role
and Excel… I appreciated the fans we had right
but the amount of passion and energy that the Solary fans have had
when some players said: “I’m doing it for my fans
To give your fans the happiness and the energy they give you back for winning… It is insane
Markoon: The energy was insane. Just thank you for giving me one of the best experiences of my esports career so far. And I just want you guys to expect us to go first (in the LFL Spring Split)
I don’t want to hear anything about going second and that we did well
