Hello welcome to the program. He says hes protecting the french people from evil president has promised to step up crackdowns on what he calls radical muslims a mosque has been ordered closed and the pro hamas group dissolved it follows dozens of rays on muslims and organizations suspected of inciting hatred for a Campaign Comes after the stabbing and decapitation of a teacher by moscow born chechen refugee who was later shot dead by a police somewhere patty had discussed cartoons of prophet mohammad in a class on free speech and simmons reports. A march in silence to mourn the death of a french schoolteacher stabbed and decapitated in broad daylight in a suburb of paris yet political reaction to the murder of history teacher. Is anything but quiet. To the sound of the National Anthem members of the French Parliament gathered then a minutes silence afterwards came this proclamation. We are united standing undetermined to fight the instigator of this murder because the mr samuel party lies the france that is republican and humanist that was cravenly undertone attacked. Emanuel macro on the french president has ordered a crackdown on muslim organizations they do not sit in as of tomorrow at the Cabinet Meeting we will dissolve the shake you see in collective directly implicated in the attack more decisions against associations and groups of individuals will follow in the coming days and weeks determination is complete the acts will happen at the republic needs them. Hear worshippers at a mosque thats been closed down by the interior minister who claims its leaders shared an online video saying samuel should be intimidated he says they also shared the address of his school a part of the moment from the moment someone relays a video you should chase him not the mosque not a whole community. Protests against what the government has described as muslim extremism followed pattis death. He had been killed by an 18 year old of chechen origin who was shot dead by police. Earlier this month muslim parents objected after the teacher had shown cartoons of the prophet mohammed in a lesson about freedom of expression the images were 1st shown by the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo and that led to a wave of attacks in 2015 whats happening in paris right now is causing more divisiveness along with fears that more political leaders call as 0 tolerance to islamic extremism will escalate into more violence in both communities Andrew Simmons aljazeera. Lets bring in. France in paris yes sir low r. T. Had of the justice liberties for all committee and here rights activists in some jack all or Syria Research fellow at the Global Policy institute also in paris or chief Foreign Correspondent for figaro welcome or to the program yes there was seem to be dealing with too many things here and would seem to be on the same time to be in the midst of a Chain Reaction what is the government trying to achieve by this crackdown on people they accuse of promoting hatred. Well in my humble opinion to see you know way attention from the figures of the state we have to remember that in france we have mass surveillance multiple laws were passed to supposedly to Counter Terrorism all of our communications are under scrutiny by the state all of our Internet Activity yet despite that in to make things worse that the culprit was reported including by muslims and he still got away with multiple publications and the state did not intervene to a prevent him thats again to accord to john brennan for meto this young 2015 its again a massive intelligence if a mirror and its also the triune of mussar villains in france the 2nd trial is also the choice of social media that have allowed the publications to talk to continue and for them not to be able to work with the state on these issues not for a menu at a local to hold morse muslims responsible for the actions of one indifferent or just sort of asylum and was also 18 years old its again what what we dont do the collective punishment i saying that we are united but in the us hes talking about the muslims are not included. Jack now the president and the interior minister both spoke about the need to implement a 0 tolerance policy but people are saying that by targeting n. G. O. S some of those in geos have been defending. Against islam a phobia they are pretty much concerned about this being used to just silence muslim voices in france how did a sponsor of that. The government is responding very strongly in a very mature way because theres a very strong emotion in france and does it does show shaken Everybody Needs at the same documents during the time of the seante of dough trower france says itself as the flag bearer a father of principle or of secure areas of the law that people are law of theyre not is bowing thought of the little of god and insulin issue which has been proved to the front of the particular agenda by their right in france which has which has be open to capitalize on that is one of the weak medical was percivals not being Strong Enough on the fight against radical islamism and to be the of the month you made a big speech saying that running the studies im was in a me of the republic and should be followed and therefore be as to act strongly for domestic political reasons otherwise it will open. Oh open possibilities for the National Front and more right wing for editions to capitalize on that which could threaten is next election so theres a pretty good enough for them to say that there is a strong emotion or response in france and france still see it said as really the inventor. Of secure ism and must do everything to. Defend. This is what is and what is confusing people france is talking about the need to defend the basic tenets of secularism for a man when micron is saying that we need to defend. Against what he described as islamist totally taboo in ism and then there is this case of incident the gruesome murder of teach us some well party where does fun stand here yeah i know a bit bent but actually like people. Are like just a bit well do it in front because dear realise that. Far in this kid came to our school as still im too frightened to be able to free. Education by the french system 3 ask it all social aid and help. For the powers and so are. And they seem never to have gratitude or worse than. Their attacking. Pillar of french subsite and of french civilization which is school you know we have. A school which is secular which is compulsory which is free you know enough to pay for school in trials and thats a very old french drew issue all more than 140 years you know its very often found situation and this terrorist that has been given as if im by from eastend of showing any gratitude. He went to kill one of this devoted and good prophecies that try to improve the level and to explain history. To contemporary history to their pupils so. Its a real shock that from screwed out given as silicon to people who do not share at all its values and now. The. French. People would tell these extremists france you love it or you leave it ok yes a. Few weeks ago president mcgraw spoke about the need to tackle what he described as islamist separatism to what extent the Upcoming Elections are a factor in this move by micron in this ripples mission of president micro. Less than a question just to address what has been said we have to read what the teachers in france i have been called to. Leftists by the people who are today portraying them as a heroes of secularism so i cannot to answer your question. To quote an artist dont believe the hype 1st islamic separatism that the term was used to right after the blackness of matter much as i guess systemic racism and Police Brutality no one has defined what separatism means it just like to quote the French Senate radicalisation has been adopted what include under the pressure of events so right now i know that there was a call into the branding of islamophobia under him are you going to call to target active muslims in French Society and to him and what he corns islamic attire derren isnt what for us to target baronies it is a european concept and muslims are the responsibility in what happened the 20th century so today what am i doing mccoy is doing he knows that hes got nothing to show for his economic policies you know this Movement Nothing to show him for he situational body seizing the many resignations due to corruption and conflict of interest the fact that hes old minister of interior jeff adama now husband is under investigation for Sexual Harassment and rape and the fact that the only thing hes got right now to run for reelection is a the Identity Card what a court ruled that version of your comment that muslim problem to prepare your reelection we are 18 months before the election when Emmanuel Mccall is not addressing french by telling them im going to fix the economy for example 32000 people have died under there could be 19 affronts 200000 people our present charges in minute michael right there has been cornered up and the only way for him to seek reelection is to divide this country further and the last point if i may sir you have to remember that muslims were at but they are are victims of terrorism abroad and at home as well and whats happening today unfortunately in many ways we call is playing with fire by appealing to the following people it before what is or what the entire. With these ideas jack is in no way concerned that if he does not a take a tougher stance now. Look ben would step in and say you know what this is a president who is failing his own people. Yes obviously already. Marriage in a band has been a bigger states the stakes are asking for a ban on immigration because saying that immigration is the seed bed of terrorism but back or in his speech earlier this month was very clear is say that e. D. Not at tack the slab just erotic or islamism which even some Muslim Leaders in france say is not religious radical islamism as the rector for most of the paris must say it is that is a is not a region it is a pretty good idea to g. D. Based on 800 and a rome reading of the sacred text it leads to jihad and atrocities against muslims as well head against. Europeans of people of other religions so thats the shoes the shoes that hes not but the stubble phobia has been michael was in his speech was very good as far as they could yes some people are tempted by erotic or approach to his time as a because did it feel left out by French Society to what it was not just you know what it was and it people have been some people in the suburbs are victims of racism discrimination and it was could have food in this speech too but ends it was very good i dont see without you know you know im saying islamism and accepting that france are the responsibility. Of the fact that sub french citizens. Of muslim original no different to are of a black background feel left out and feeling that the prism of france in particular different entity is a shallow right who had some of. Tempted by radical islamism death for east all actions towards the court is trying to see whats important to read before trying to win the fight if you dont mind jack before we move forward i thought. Wants to Say Something very briefly as it may look in a year or whatever has been said can we clearly agree on what the definition of radical islam what is it running is. What do one which is. Includes the center fist the muslim brothers and the jihadist thats one from the us to find out what was going on the longer the centerpiece for a century are part of the something. More i have to to go to Ronald Renault in 21800. 00 french intellectuals stepped up with their money fast to gas what they described as islamist totally terrorism and they said there needs to be a robust action by the political establishment is france trying to codify some sort of a french islam here. Yeah i mean i dont understand why in these deep beat. You are talking about islamophobia its not a must that as being attacked in the street it is not a foreign must that as being beheaded in the street this is for you this is crime is quite was not committed against a muslim it was committed by a mosque so i dont see why we are speaking of. The victims because they one it dont is segment but ok so hes french and hes the victim this is about folk just before you know what you have in the speech of michael. Of course the speech of michael is not against a light and you slime we have it for a long time in france we have no we have the most in paris that. Doesnt have any problem with anybody we had muslim fighters you know armies we have in office is wearing the could be right there with. The christian and the star of islam because they were conducted conducting muslim soldiers from the north africa so they say theres no problem of course and days. Built recently in france to be able to study is to me just a real easy chanson in the world and its a very good museum is going to ask you to do more dogma and its fine but very certain thing that has no place in france it is salafi is it ok so we mean in france its very clear we have freedom of speech freedom of religion. Freedom of conscious if somebody is it is muslim and he was too weak and to become a christian or jew no problem ok and we have another principle which is a quality between women and men i know but then the 3rd convent is that if you can if you dont youre here dont mind run or because im sorry i have to step in here youre talking about doing yet but principle which is that religion and politics should be super ranger and religion is for you all for your family and in the public space religion should not intervene yeah but were talking about french youre talking its ok youre talking about oh well this principle very should leave french territory. And i am. Korea im just im just trying to understand your russian are and i have some issues with the way youre trying to explain things youre saying that the republic has the obligation to resort to to ensure that the rights of the people are respected and you remember the case of the lady who was with the headscarf and the members of the Parliament Said we want her to leave the ground the area when the republican surfaced saying that its absolutely her right to have a headscarf to have a headscarf and were trying to separate between 2 issues here a murder a gruesome murder of someone patty and about the debates which is now taking place in front and i may go to yes yes or this is cornell for reining in the religious institutions reforming islam isnt this something which has been tried again and again for many years in france and never worked why. Because we have the confusion we just heard before the nothing before a minutes its a soup its a mess and there is a mixture between what france is about really yes nice you to ease the sacred freedom of speech is sacred to freedom of religion is sick with as will but freedom of religion if i may tell mr owens ya its their right to have a religion and to be able to express it if i tell you how freedom of speech but already are to houma then you have no free the most peach the same applies to religion so if muslims a want to be muslims and show their ideals of their faith they have absolutely the right the same way for catholics jews and even for people who dont like richard to say i do not like religion dux what niceties about i have the right to believe and not to believe and especially not to be prosecuted if i ever believe no asked for coming to develop a new concept of islam according to him anyone might call this justify your next largest book about lycee dick its a French Republic its a secular republic the government the state house nothing to do with religious affairs and thank god that religion does not interfere into state affairs and the state should not intervene in religious affairs with her but again this is an eel colonial management of affairs why it was in 1000 or 5 mr minister or joe knows about that you not you know fight when there are no nicety was passed it was indeed applied on continental fronts but never in the cut and use why to keep islam and muslims under control just to their sort of mind their great reason just a just a 3rd way if the state wants to see a french brand of islam how about letting muslims manage that affairs and decide who can represent them and what they can gather around it if the state wants to help give them the platforms to organize a and then they will come. Im up with that solution i have not seen that with the organization say we are against for the most ok i have written saying we want to have an equal footage of in for the most ph when you are the one that is us we have the right to speak back i know fortunately we dont see that i could figure out for example ok i guess the backdrop of this tense environment jack who do you think should lead the debate in france about the need to answer all those issues and fix all the problems in fronts it should be everything to everyone on hand to mostly misting people or an already some of them mostly readers are talking about it. Making a debate and as the sure of a nym are not in the slammer if it does a strong believe most of the missteps in france practice their religion very calmly without any problem there is no no problem there but unfortunately there is a brand of his we says developed in the last few decades which hes actually frigidly not only. Because of france. Balance between state and religion but which hes and so has i think a messy massively negative influence in the arab world and we see the jihad weve seen daschle seen or that the gun say that origin their religion is meant to be about peace i believe. This sort of. For these sort of. Its political or as order or as many religious leaders as a list of forget that you know drugs secure isnt hes not distilled it was not aid when the law was passed in 19 or 5 of the muslim religion it was aimed at the cafferty religion because during the 8 during the eightys century cafferty church dr drew. Drew was its rule wrong for our Friends Society and. The rule of 905 is the result of the long fight between. The force between our full battle between the Republican Forces which promoted the likely 8 indisputed who are of friends id and it get to a big church wanted to risk every sunday it was a down fall and in france religion is very right do is accepted there are all of the state is protect religious thank you thank you along richard because theres a long thread to public order unfortunately we have to leave it there by a promise who will definitely revisit this particular issue in the near future as the debate continues in france about how to move forward and what kind of islam france is looking forward to see prevail in the near future yes or lower to jack all or run or thank you very much indeed looking forward to talking to you in the near future and thank you for watching you can see the program again anytime by visiting our website at our dot com for further discussion go to our Facebook Page thats facebook dot com forward slash a.
