French Muslims, Jurists, Business Leaders, Academics, Engineers … affirm, in a “World” forum, not to recognize the fundamental principles of Islam in extremist practices filmed in the report of “Prohibited Zone “.

Tribune. French Muslims committed, we want to strongly denounce the separatist Islamist practices, highlighted in the report of “Prohibited Zone”, broadcast on M6, Sunday, January 23rd. Citizens and French citizens of Muslim confession, we are attached to France, our country, and attached to Islam, our religion. We denounce radical Islamism, Salafism and their corollaries: fundamentalism, obscurantism, intolerance, ideological confinement.
As French Muslims, we do not recognize the fundamental principles of Islam in extremist practices filmed in the documentary. We condemn and reject these practices without hesitation. We fund our condemnation and our rejection on our French citizenship and our participation in the social contract and the laws of the Republic. We also found them on our reading of the Koran, the holy text of Islam, and on our Muslim faith.
Those and those of you who do not know Islam could be shocked and dismayed by images of the documentary, as we have been too. This radical Islam is scary and challenges our consciences.
How can we accept this perversion of Islam, which consists of cutting us from our report to others? What pseudo-rational can it justify to veiling girls of 7 years, if not to mistreat their free will and their relationship to the world?
Critical spirit and reason
We see in this practice a form of abuse that must cease on behalf of the rights of the child. How to tolerate faceless dolls, while face communication and emotions are essential for the development of children, as well as attest to scientific studies? We see in this practice a rejection of our common humanity, our emotions, our sensations, our openness to the world, of our wonder before the beauty of nature.
And what to think of a religious instruction that only seeks literal imitation and does not promote personal reflection, meditation and understanding of the sacred texts? A religious instruction without trying to grasp the meaning of the sacred texts, without spirituality, without reflection on what are good and evil, without moral, without individual responsibility, without humanism, without universalism, without integration into society, is very empty meaningless.
Respect for the human person, reflection on the meaning of life and the desire to live in society are the moral compass that should guide all our actions. We make ours the legacy of the lights, which sees in the awakening of personal reflection the basis of education.
