The Muslim Brotherhood Strengthened in France in 2019 with the Blessing of the Republic
6 June 2019 Joachim Veliocas

The Muslim Brothers (Muslim Brotherhood) of Muslims in France, the new name of the UOIF, inaugurated their giant mosque in Mulhouse, named En Nour, on Saturday, last May 25. According to the local daily, "L'Alsace", 2900 Muslims were present for their first prayer at this place which needed 10 years of labor and considerable funding from Qatar, more than 2.5 million euros, and 230,000 euros from the city. The project was supported by Youssef Al Qaradawi himself, who made a video appeal for donations, and Safwat Hijazi, currently imprisoned in Egypt for terrorism, had come in person in 2010 to visit the association AMAL (Association of Muslims in Alsace), who runs the mosque.

A new bastion for the Muslim Brotherhood in the East of France, because the new mosque of Reims, in service for three years, was also inaugurated with grand pomp this year (2019) in March with the sub-prefect, the LREM (party) deputy Aina Kuric, and some dignitaries from Qatar and from Kuwait, donor counties. The presence of Amar Lasfar, president of Muslims of France, marked the strategic importance of this mosque of 3700 square meters with a minaret and cupola capable of receiving 2,000 people. Literature of Abu Bakr Al Jazari (died in August 2018) was spotted in the mosque's library, notably his signature work, "The Way of the Muslim", where he called for the prohibition of building of churches in Islamic lands and insisted at length on Jihad in order to eradicate worship other than that of the Lord. This base of brotherhood allows them to invite their international cadres like Zied Daoulatli, leading member of Ennahda in February 2016.

The Interior Minister, Christophe Castaner, reassured the Muslims of France this week in choosing Strasbourg to participate in the breaking of the fast (Iftar) last May 29. Because it is Abdelhaq Nabaoui of MF (photo above with Castener), who presides over the Regional Council of the Muslim Religion (CRCM) in Alsace.  And the minister didn't fail to congratulate him:

"I wanted to go to the CRCM Alsace, which is exemplary and who wants to make things happen. I deeply regret the reluctance of the CFCM. There is an issue there for the Republic and for Islam. I appeal to to all those who want to make their voices heard: We will listen to (those "on the ground") Islam is being built everywhere and not only in Paris. Dynamics can be constructed locally. The prefectures are listening to you. In Strasbourg, the CRCM Alsace is an example, a laboratory of ideas for the future of Islam in France through its relationship of trust with communities, prevention of radicalization, dialogue among the actors with the council of imams....Each constructive step, you continue it with a method made of pragmatism and of broad dialogue. I hope that this method will spread in other regions."

To fight against radicalization with the Muslim Brotherhood. We are pinching ourselves. Especially since  Abdelhaq Nabaoui has also joined the AMIF of Hakim el Karoui, (absorbed) by the Brotherhood movement. In Alsace, many mosques are under the influence of imams approved by the MF (ex UOIF): The Al Imane mosque, with its imam, Mohsen Ayachi, the mosque in the Port du Rhin quarter, one of whose founders, Abobacar, was formed in l'IESH, or also that of the station quarter, which has as its imam, Ahmed Sami.

No restriction is envisioned by the state and that is how  a Muslim medical center is in preparation on Francois Mitterand Avenue, also in the Alsatian capital, at the initiative of the Passarelle, (funded) by Qatar Charity.

To be complete, a school named Iqraa, based in Lingolshem, near Strasbourg is also financed by Qatar (in the amount of) 101,000 euros.

The year 2019 is excellent for the Muslim Brotherhood in France. The totalitarian brotherhood has bright days ahead of it in France in spite of the facade of firmness of the president in his last speech  to the French people on April 25 on political Islam. Didn't Emmanuel Macron say on BFMTV in May 2017, "I will not ban the UOIF"? As for Prime Minister Edouard Philippe, he let Qatar finance the UOIF mosque in Le Havre before coming to inaugurate it.
