While the renovation project of Islam in France is in full swing with the bill to "strengthen respect for the principles of the Republic" intended to fight against Islamism and Islamic separatism, the daily
La Croix
offers each day for two weeks, from January 25 to February 7, 2021, a major survey to understand the religion that follows between 4 and 5 million Muslims in France.
From subjects of tensions to signs of integration, including doubt after each attack committed in its name on the compatibility of Islam with the values of the Republic: an overview of a religion more complex and less monolithic than it seems.
Anne-Bénédicte Hoffner and Nicolas Senèze from the editorial staff of La Croix.
Wearing the veil
: the big missing from the bill on separatism?
The subject disturbs, embarrasses, divides: the debate on the wearing of the veil in the National Assembly put on hold.
The Special Commission responsible for studying the 81 articles of the text and the amendments tabled for the examination of the bill ruled inadmissible the request of two LREM deputies to ban the wearing of the veil for minors.
For its part, the LR group, for whom the wearing of the veil in public service spaces must be discussed, speaks of a muzzled debate.

,
professor of History and Geography in Toulouse and essayist.
She has published
"
Combattre le veiling"
and
"Le grand détournement" for Le
Cerf
.
This essay deconstructs the discourse of Islamo-leftism which, by diverting the original meaning of keywords such as tolerance, racism, feminism, etc.
reinforces communitarianism and is an accomplice of Islamism.
"Spiritual Revolution" (Almora)
.
The last essay by philosopher
Abdennour Bidar is
inspired by Stéphane Hessel's pamphlet "Indignant" (2010).
Written in verse, in a lyrical tone, the Muslim intellectual warns of the crisis of civilization at work - ecological, sanitary but also of the soul - and calls on the youth to rise up… spiritually.
