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."

England could use Henry IV or V, too.

He took a correspondence course. Now he’s an Imam, or will be after he sends in a few more box tops.

Macron obviously doesn’t understand Islam

He could introduce them to the Hindu concept of reincarnation....by killing them.

They are moderate because they have abandoned the strict interpretation of the Koran.

Then what's the point of being a "moslem"?

And when the mullahs are done with the art museums, the wine industry will be their next target.

One person in twelve in his country is Muslim.

That limits his options.

France will be going to a Sharia-law system? That is the only thing the savages will respect.

3000 years of historic hate this chump is going to stop?
And they say D. J. Trump is a narcissist?
These are the punks that planted trees along their most famous roadway so the invading Germans wouldn’t have to march in the sun?
You go there Macron, you bad ass.

Effectively Macron has announced his intention to create a new religion. If he means to force the Moslems in France into a new Religion he should simply force Moslems to convincingly convert to Catholicism or leave. The organization is already there and Spain provides the precedent.
