French Report Warns of Islamist Infiltration Threatening National Unity

 

A newly released government-commissioned report has raised alarm in France over what it describes as a concerted effort by Islamist groups, particularly the Muslim Brotherhood, to infiltrate French republican institutions. Presented to President Emmanuel Macron on Wednesday, the report warns of a growing phenomenon termed “entryism,” which it claims poses a significant threat to the cohesion of the French state.

 

The report, authored by two senior civil servants, argues that Islamist activists are not merely creating parallel societies—a concern long debated under the concept of separatism—but are actively embedding themselves within the core structures of the Republic. According to an unnamed Élysée official speaking off the record, “There is a new phenomenon – entryism – which is different from separatism. Entryism means getting involved in republican infrastructure… in order to change it from the inside. It requires dissimulation… and it works from the bottom up.”

 

President Macron, after convening his security cabinet, has asked his government to draft “new proposals” by early next month in response to the report’s conclusions. The move underscores the gravity with which the French government views the findings.

 

Central to the report’s concern is the Federation of Muslims of France (FMF), which the authors identify as the principal French affiliate of the Muslim Brotherhood. Founded a century ago, the Brotherhood originally sought to revive core Islamic values. Today, according to the report, its French offshoot controls 139 places of worship and has ties to an additional 68, representing around 7% of all mosques in France. The FMF also oversees approximately 280 associations involved in activities ranging from sports to education and charity, as well as 21 private schools.

 

The report warns that these organizations are part of a strategic effort to build localized “ecosystems” that shape Muslim lives from birth to death. The authors write, “The movement’s officials, who are hardened activists, enter into a relationship with the local authority… Social norms – the veil, beards, dress, fasting – are gradually imposed as the ecosystem solidifies.” They note a troubling trend of increasingly strict religious observance, including a marked rise in young girls wearing Islamic dress such as the abaya and hijab. “Some are as young as five or six,” the report notes.

 

Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau, newly elected leader of the conservative Les Républicains party, echoed the report’s concerns earlier this week. He warned of “below-the-radar Islamism trying to infiltrate institutions, whose ultimate aim is to tip the whole of French society under sharia law.” With municipal elections scheduled for next year, Retailleau expressed alarm at the possibility of Islamist-backed electoral lists making inroads into local government.

 

Not all political figures are in agreement with the report’s implications. Far-left leader Jean-Luc Mélenchon sharply criticized the reaction from Macron’s security cabinet, accusing it of embracing what he described as “delusional theories” associated with both Retailleau and far-right National Rally leader Marine Le Pen. “Islamophobia has crossed a line,” Mélenchon stated, warning that such rhetoric risked stoking fear and division.

 

The authors of the report visited ten regions in France and four European countries during their investigation. They argue that the Muslim Brotherhood, facing diminished influence in the Middle East and North Africa, is now redirecting its efforts toward Europe. “Having given a Western look to the ideology in order to implant themselves in Europe,” the authors write, “(the Muslim Brotherhood) tries to lay down the roots of a Middle Eastern tradition while concealing a subversive fundamentalism.” They cite financial backing from Turkey and Qatar as instrumental in this shift.

 

As France grapples with balancing religious freedom and secular values, the report is likely to intensify debate over how the state should respond to perceived Islamist threats without undermining the civil liberties of its Muslim population.

It's called "Democracy" until it isn't.  If the majority of the French (considering that France is now a extension of North and sub-Saharan Africa) want to vote candidates who belong to the Muslin Brotherhood into office as their representatives - that's how democracy works.  I mean heck, look - the head of ISIS in Syria is now president of Syria and most EU leaders go to get they pictures taken with they guy.  What's a terrorist?  It's irrelevant in the name of political expediency.

The EU's new concept of "Democracy" is to label all political opponents as belonging to "terrorist groups" and then banning them from running in elections, often my just arresting them.  At the same time as they recognize actual terrorists as "fellow politicians and world leaders." You can't make this s**t up.  It reads better than fiction.

The EU, including France, is crumbling into its own footprint.  It's an own goal, they did it to themselves.

So don't b**** Macron.  The pile of 💩 your sitting in is your own.

Read Houillebecq's Submission. He is a real life Nostradamus and wrote of the Islamist takeover of France back when it was falsely called a "conspiracy theory".

 

Since the left censored discussion of this takeover its now too late to prevent it. Cheers guys, nice one.

They'll throw their white ethnic Swede and ethnic Anglo/Saxon/Celtic citizens who complain about it into prisons for hate crimes like pointing out grooming gangs and gang rape.

Me?  I don't live there anymore.  I don't care.  The entire West can turn into a third-world s***-hole for all I care.  Anyone with eyes can see that it won't happen here as long as the local continue to embrace their ethnocentric xenophobia. They tolerate farangs here, but they aren't going to allow their country to become a Islamic backwater for those illegally "immigrating" from Africa and the Middle East.  Ain't gonna happen in my lifetime. 

I don't know why Macron is being blamed. France  invited these people in. There were 2 large waves of north African  arabs; 1913-1921 and 1947 - 1953, where they were used for cheap labour. France was encouraging them to immigrate.

Actually, this was initially not a problem as mosques were under influence from Northern African countries, in particular Algeria and Morocco. For example, the great mosque of Paris is under Algerian influence and in Strasburg under Moroccan influence. This is not a big problem as they are preaching a moderate version of Islam.

They are still the dominant players. However, Muslim Brotherhood and Salafi have been increasingly competing with them, thanks to fundings from Quatar and Saudi Arabia.

Of course, as in other countries (Including the U.S.), Saudi Arabia is seldom officially blamed.

That is actually what  the source of the problem in the middle East is. The Arab population expanded and started to colonize  the region. The area known as  Saudi Arabia once had a sizeable jewish population. The Arabs forced them out, often killing  their rivals. Same thing in Babylonia and the land some call Palestine. The Hebrews/Israelites have been experiencing land encroachment and invasion from the surrounding  arab populations for centuries. Today, that history has  transformed the victim of colonial oppression into the  villian. And now we see it play out western countries, where the Arabs arrive in large numbers . First as welcome immigrants "merchants" and "students" as was the case in the Middle East, and then they start their demands and take over. It is playing out in  parts of Europe now, Some areas are only safe for muslims. Malmo, some of the arrondisements of Paris, parts of Birmingham, Bradford, Luton,  and parts of London. All enabled and facilitated by paid off hacks like George Galloway and a cabal of malcontents like Diane Abbott and Jeremy Corbyn.

Not anymore. French muslims are  unemployed at  approx. 2X the  rate of  non muslim French citizens.

The hardest jobs to fill in France are;

- Waiters in cafés and restaurants 

- Wine growers, arborists and pickers 

- General-purpose kitchen staff 

- Cleaners of business and industrial premises

- Salaried farmers and agricultural workers 

- Home helpers and housekeepers 

- Caregivers 

- Professionals in socio-cultural activities, such as entertainers and directors 

- Unskilled packaging and handling workers

- Cooks 

 

Islamists will avoid  work in  places where non halal food is  handled, or prepared. Nor will they work in places  that involve haram-  forbidden products and activities such as pork-related products, alcohol, gambling, and pornography. Slaughterhouses are always understaffed, and muslims avoid the non muslim sector.

While your claim about unemployment is broadly accurate (there are no statistics about religion in France but it can be derived from the country of origin, I.e. Northern Africa), you are fully wrong about where they allegedly don't want to work.

 

You just need to go to bars, restaurants, food retailers and hotels to see many Muslims working there or even owning the business.

 

Statistics are even showing that they are disproportionately employed in several activities you mentioned:

For example, they represent around 20% of employment in restaurants and hotels (including cooks), compared to around 10% on average accross all industries.

(Sorry, it's in French)

The data does not support your conclusion in respect to muslims or Islamists. The  information you reference is in respect to immigrant workers as a group.  Nor can one extrapolate from a total number because the influence of religious doctrine is well documented.

 

There is no denying that some people of North African  origin work in the hospitality trade. However, they are not necessarily Islamists. By definition an Islamist is one  who is an advocate or supporter of Islamic fundamentalism; a person who advocates increasing the influence of Islamic law in politics and society. This would not be compatible with work in some sectors.

Islamists are people who are close adherents of their religion and its belief system.  If a person is a devout muslim, they will NOT  take on any activity that is haram.

 

The people you refer to may have been of North African religion and may even be nominal muslims, but if they are working with alcohol and pork then they cannot and will not be devout muslims. There is a reason why some airlines do not serve pork or alcohol products.  Saudia, Air Arabia, Kuwait Airways, Pakistani International, Egyptair, and some others serve millions of passengers every year. Those passengers would not get on the aircraft if alcohol was on board, nor would many crew members.
