Press Release
The Symbol of Islam is Present again,
Attal to Attach on Violent Crimes among Young People!!
(Translated)

Recently, French public opinion was shaken by heinous crimes that claimed the lives of middle school students, and debate was once again opened on a large scale about the increase in the number of extremely violent attacks among students who have not yet reached the age of maturity. In an interview on Bfm TV on Thursday, April 18, 2024, on the occasion of the 100th day of his assuming the position of Prime Minister, and speaking about the measures that will be taken to eliminate the phenomenon, Gabriel Attal condemned “More or less organized groups seeking Islamic infiltration” and who were defending “the principles of Sharia law, especially in schools”. He added: "It is unacceptable for a religious ideology to question our laws. The only law in France is the Law of the Republic."

It must first be emphasized that the growth of violence among young people in France, and even the rise in the crime rate in general, is a phenomenon that has been around for years, and the news is almost periodically devoid of it. According to a report issued by the statistical service of the Ministry of the Interior, the number of crimes and misdemeanors in France during the year 2023 witnessed a steady increase, and that the increase relates especially to assaults and violence (plus 7%), rape and attempted rape (plus 10%), and sexual violence (plus 8%). Violent crimes have also risen sharply in the country since the beginning of 2024. According to information released by Europe 1 radio, compared to the same period in 2023, violence between rival gangs also increased by 8%. Since the beginning of the year, the authorities have recorded 60 violent incidents in France, the vast majority of which, 51, were recorded in Ile-de-France!! The phenomenon of violence in France is therefore a real crisis and a major problem that the country has been suffering from for years, and the causes are manifold from the ineffectiveness of the laws and procedures followed, to the poverty of living and marginalization that suburban youth suffer from, and the absence of the real role of the family and school in reforming young people, to the spread of gangs, as well as the spread of pornography, decadence, and the misuse of means of communication and technology... and other reasons that are too long to explain!!

It is absolutely astonishing what was stated in Attal’s statement and what he called fighting “Islamic infiltration” as one of the solutions to eliminating violence among young people!! Doesn't the Prime Minister realize that his pinning all the problems that France suffers on the premise of Islam has become an outdated and scandalous matter?! It is no longer hidden from anyone that he has courted the extreme right by declaring war on Muslims and cornering them! How can any rational person believe that the fundamental cause of issues related to deviance, drugs, beatings, murder, and sexual relations among young people is linked to Islam, its concepts, and its point of view on life?!

The proverb, “She infected me with her disease and slipped away” applies to Attal! Of course, he is ignorant that when the Islamic State existed and Islam, its rulings and concepts were applied, it was able to eradicate crimes, violence and other scourges to the point that they became a rare occurrence but that are now devastating French society. Of course, he is also ignorant that the concepts of the republic, the freedoms, and the abnormalities that he sings about are the disease itself and are the cause of the tumors and malignant diseases that afflict them!!

We wish Attal and others like him understood the wise system in the great Islam that is suitable for human beings where it addresses their problems and elevates them, but it is far from possible for someone who is immersed in the mire of secularism, freedoms and perversions to see beyond the veils!!

Everyone who lives in France is aware of the size of the quagmire in which they live and is well aware that their regime and their state have been ravaged by corruption and incompetence, and are destined to fall. Therefore, politicians like Attal often struggle to present themselves as an experienced politician with decisive decisions and the ability to resolve crises! But by the bounty of Allah, their lies and failure are exposed and uncovered, and their hostility to Islam is caused by their fear of it and their realization that it is their political archenemy capable of defeating them and turning the tables on their heads.

[وَإِن تَصْبِرُوا وَتَتَّقُوا لَا يَضُرُّكُمْ كَيْدُهُمْ شَيْئاً إِنَّ اللهَ بِمَا يَعْمَلُونَ مُحِيطٌ]

“˹Yet,˺ if you are patient and mindful ˹of Allah˺, their schemes will not harm you in the least. Surely Allah is Fully Aware of what they do.” [Aali’Imran 3:120]
