The Silent Infiltration – How the Muslim Brotherhood Undermines French Secularism
In France, the secular republic faces the threat. The threat cannot be seen and it gradually creeps into the system like water finding its way into the ground.
The Muslim Brotherhood is a cross-national self-seeking Islamist organization, which has already been giving warning to the government that it is stealthily infiltrating in the French institutions. The norms of the society can be changed when people are not figuring things out in the schools, mosques, and other local associations where the Brotherhood can redefine things. As opposed to high-profile violence and instant conflicts, such approach is more dangerous, as it is based on calm, long-range programming.
The power of the Brotherhood extends outside religion. It operates in its extensive number of mosques and affiliated places of worship under the name of Musulmans de France. Such centers promote the message on Islam and they attempt to capture children and immigrants in the hope that the coming generations will remain faithful to Islamist perception of the world. The Islamization of schools has also been examined in city locations like Lille schools, which are accused of promoting gender segregation and religious dominance, which is much against the French policy of secularity in education.
Another target is the municipal councils. In a quiet sort of way, the Brotherhood hopes to convert secularism and gender equality by inserting activists in local government over time and hopefully influence the policy. This is termed as entryism and this is a method to dilute the value of republicans over time instead of turning it upside down.
Such an issue as extrinsic financing is very important. The institutions associated with the Brotherhood make it alive by using foreign money that is channeled through secreted avenues. In the year 2020, French police dismantled illicit finance chains and confiscated tens of millions of money belonging to extremists. The same funds were additionally used to develop an alternative structure where religion informs civic allegiance to form enclaves that are not easily absorbed into the French society.The Brotherhood is vague in language. It talks in moderation to the people but indoctrinates messages of fundamentalism among its own followers. Leaders refuse that they hold political ambitions, but according to the reporting, they have the long-term plan, to transform France into the Islamic law. Some members of the French administration are of the view that the undisclosed agenda is to influence adoption of sharia by making gradual social changes.The French reaction has been obvious. The new regulations being drafted by the government to combat this ideological subversion are tighter control of church finances and even the prohibition of religious symbols in schools. Nonetheless, the burning question is how to stand up against an enemy that is operating along the field of the law but is propelling the republic towards collapse. The threat of the Brotherhood is not only an issue of threat to security, but more of an issue of threat to the soul of secular France.
