In an interview on Europe 1, the philosopher Pascal Bruckner believes that certain political leaders and media structures have some responsibility for the assassination of Professor Samuel Paty in Conflans-Sainte-Honorine.

He also welcomes the possible dissolution of various structures, such as the CCIF or BarakaCity.

INTERVIEW

He denounces real "accomplices": on Europe 1, Monday noon, Pascal Bruckner attacks structures and personalities who, according to him, have helped to allow radical Islam to progress in France.

While many observers are trying to understand why an 18-year-old young man beheaded the teacher Samuel Paty in Conflans-Sainte-Honorine on Friday afternoon, the philosopher believes that the left and the far left are guilty of having let the "Islamist hydra" grow in our country and provoke such acts.

CCIF "abominable companionship"

Faced with "Islamism, which has become the new Nazism", "there must be a mobilization and that we especially designate the accomplices", defends Pascal Bruckner, author of

Un Racisme imaginaire

.

According to him, "the accomplices, generally on the left and on the far left, have blood on their hands and should be held to account."

The philosopher designates by the term accomplices those who, according to him, have put targets behind the backs of all those who criticize Islam.

In his viewfinder are among others "Edwy Plenel and Mediapart".

He also points to Insubordinate France, some of whose officials are said to be guilty of having demonstrated against Islamophobia on November 10, alongside the Collective against Islamophobia in France (CCIF).

The philosopher reproaches this structure for representing an "abominable companionship".

"Abuse of power" over Islamophobia

"It is obviously a group linked to the Muslim Brotherhood which consists in defending any Muslim, whoever he is, even if he is a terrorist", explains Pascal Bruckner about the CCIF.

"That Minister Darmanin asks for its dissolution, as well as a certain number of other associations such as the Indigènes de la République or BarakaCity, is progress, but a certain number of us have been asking for this for years. it took this abomination for power to finally react. "

For the philosopher, "blackmail against Islamophobia should no longer be possible in France" because "we have the right to criticize all religions, Islam, Christianity, Judaism".

“We don't have the right to persecute believers, that's where the difference is. But yelling at state Islamophobia because we have secular laws and we ban the veil or the burqa, that's is truly an abuse of power ", he criticizes, asking to" defend the real victims and denounce the real torturers ".
