Mediapart: An amazing device to suppress Muslims in France if Le Pen takes over the presidency

The French website Mediapart said that the program of Marine Le Pen, the far-right candidate for the French presidency, reveals an amazing device to suppress Muslims under the guise of fighting so-called "Islamism", which can reach its impact by encroaching on all religious minorities, including Judaism.

And the writer asked if he would see him in her report to the site: What would the lives of millions of Muslims look like if Marine Le Pen arrived at the Elysee?

Will it be a nightmare?

To reply that the answer is clear for a party that for half a century has been frightening people with a bogeyman called the tyranny of foreigners and "Mohammedans" over France.

However - the site says - this matter was not raised in a concrete way as it is being proposed today, at a time when the far-right candidate is at the gates of power.

"I am not afraid of the blonde because she can do nothing worse than President Emmanuel Macron," said Mourad Ghazli, a former activist in the party of late President Jacques Chirac, in a video released after the first round of the French presidential elections.

This feeling - as the writer says - which some share about the non-offensive nature of the National Rally candidate is caused by the strategy adopted by Jean-Marie Le Pen's daughter in her campaign when she refined the language of her program, so that she does not find in the brochures she published words such as "halal", "sharia", nor “Burkini”, “burqa” or “masjid”, except for the mention of the “Islamic headscarf” in her talk about the school.

The truth is - as the writer sees - that nothing has changed for Marine Le Pen with regard to the suppression of Islam, especially that her abstention from voting on the separatist law in 2021 was caused by the fact that she found the text lacking in "courage", as she was proposing at the time a more stringent counter-law. It aims to fight Islamic ideologies."

ban hijab

At the beginning of the campaign, the National Rally Party issued vague statements about banning the Jewish hat, which Marine Le Pen said was a small sacrifice required of Jews, but extremist party member Jordan Bardella said that Jews “can wear it”, because the ban on the headscarf is not based on secularism, but rather on the basis of secularism. The basis of Islamic ideology”, which was expressed by Le Pen a few days ago on RTL.

The French website's report says that Marine Le Pen's opposition to the veil and the like does not stem from secularism or the feminist movement, but rather is a "civilized" position.

Following in the footsteps of her father, who founded what was known as the "Problem of Muslims on Christian Land", she does not consider Islam a religion but an invading ideology, and therefore she sees "the veil as an ideology, not a religion."

The report adds that by the same logic, halal is prohibited, so that the program makes "the rituals of slaughter without prior electrocution prohibited", and thus Le Pen will ban slaughter in the Islamic and Jewish ways, if successful.

cleavage factors

The Mediapart report says that the right-wing candidate considers "everything that carries within him major divisive factors or serious threats to the unity of the nation, and that raises doubts about loyalty to France and compliance with its laws" as an Islamic ideology.

Marine Le Pen also plans - according to the writer - to amend the Penal Code to include the "national insult penalty" by depriving the right to vote and eligibility and banning public expression and the like for perpetrators of crimes related to "Islamic ideology", there is even an article stipulating the forfeiture of citizenship for the same reasons.

According to the writer, with the availability of these additional tools, the daughter of Jean-Marie Le Pen will work to close places of worship and dissolve the institutions launched during Macron's term, which expands the scope of the targeted associations, so will it affect, for example, the Paris Mosque funded by the Algerian government?

And the writer concluded that the freedom of the press will also be attacked, because Marine Le Pen is considering, among other repressive measures, the closure of any media that “shows any tolerance of “Islamic ideologies” with the stroke of a pen from the Minister of the Interior. Will the authorities close any newspaper that publishes articles on the fate of veiled women or Are you talking about an association solution?
