Macron Vows to Reform Islam in France
Gatestone Institute ^ | 13/2/18 | Soeren Kern

Posted on 02/13/2018 2:16:29 PM PST by Eleutheria5

French President Emmanuel Macron, in a declared effort to "fight fundamentalism" and "preserve national cohesion," has promised to "lay the groundwork for the entire reorganization of Islam in France."

According to Macron, the plan, similar in ambition to Austria's Islam Law, is aimed at seeking to "better integrate" Islam in France in order to "place it in a more peaceful relationship with the state."

A key priority is to reduce outside interference by restricting foreign funding for mosques, imams and Muslim organizations in France. The plan's overall objective is to ensure that French law takes precedence over Islamic law for Muslims living in the country.

In a February 11 interview with the Journal du Dimanche, Macron said that the plan, which is being coordinated by the Interior Ministry, will be announced within the next six months: "We are working on the structuring of Islam in France and also on how to explain it," Macron said. "My goal is to rediscover what lies at the heart of secularism—the possibility of being able to believe as well as not to believe—in order to preserve national cohesion and the possibility of having free religious conscience."

French Presidents never lack for hubris. You’ve gotta give them that.

The French don’t realize it is they who will be “reformed”.

You let an invading horde in the front door. Too late to get up and bar it.

Even if that worked now what happens when the muslim population becomes the majority and forces sharia upon the population?

Muslims will breed themselves into getting whatever they want in a given country.

The only way to reform Muslimes is to hold their head underwater till the bubbles stop, otherwise you are fooling yourself and your citizens

Not one word of the Koran can be changed as it is the word of Allah. The tenets of the Koran are not compatible with Western Civilization. Sharia law is supreme.

Islam can not be reformed to exist in Western Culture unless the Koran is reformed and that will not happen.
Islam is at war with all that are not Muslim. These are the tenets in the Koran.

It is really that simple.

ps
There are moderate Muslims and many are an asset to our society. They are moderate because they have abandoned the strict interpretation of the Koran. Individuals such as they are hated even more than non Muslims. They are a threat to the radical Islamist.

Charles Martel was a brave man, but not an idiot.

Macron has promised to “lay the groundwork for the entire reorganization of Islam in France.”

He either has a plan to kill all of the muslims in France or this is just blather.
