TESTIMONIAL EUROPE 1
For them, the veil is not the symbol of a free religious choice but that of an enslavement of women. This week, in Marianne , 100 Muslim men and women sign a platform claiming that "the veil is sexist and obscurantist". One of the signatories, who preferred to remain anonymous, told Europe 1 Saturday.
"If you do not wear it, you're out of business"
This Muslim tells the "insults", the "threats", the "intimidations" she receives on the Internet, "on close networks" of what she associates with the "Muslim Brotherhood". But also in the "real" life. "I regularly get annoyed about my outfit that is not consistent," she denounces.
According to this young woman, it is wrong to say that the Islamic veil can be sported by choice. "Freedom of choice is completely wrong, it does not exist in truth," she says. "They make me laugh quietly, these journalists and self-righteous men who live in beautiful neighborhoods and advocate freedom.When you are a woman, you live in neighborhoods and that eight women out of ten wear [the veil], I can tell you that the freedom of choice is quite relative.If you do not wear it, you are put in the ban.It was instituted everywhere, in schools, associations, the street.
Muslim and secular
This signatory "claims" Muslim. "But I also say that I'm progressive, secular, it's not antinomic," she says. "I am French, I deeply love the Republic, I do not want another ideology to come in. A certain part of our religion is radicalized, is veiled, expansionist and dangerous. 'equate with that.'
The words of Emmanuel Macron, who felt that the wearing of the veil in the public space was "not his business", have discouraged. "The public space is the first place where this battle is fought.Women are invisible.In these neighborhoods, there is a lot of suffering, misery, abandonment of the state.If this movement finds a listening, it because there is favorable ground, the state should really reinvest the neighborhoods.
