FRANCE: The proposed ‘law on separatism(s)’ should not target religion
The resurgence in attacks by radical Islamists in France, home to Europe’s largest Muslim population, has rekindled fierce debates about Islam, secularism, and discrimination. The deplorable assassinations in October 2020 of Samuel Paty, a teacher, and three Catholics in the Basilica of Nice have accelerated the political will of the authorities to adopt a law meant to tackle some of the root causes of Islamist terrorism.

French Draft Law Against “Separatism”: Targeting Radical Islam, but Problematic for Religious Liberty
France has a serious problem with radical Islam, but the draft law against “separatism” announced by President Macron may create more problems than it claims to solve. This is the conclusion of a “White Paper” co-authored or endorsed by well-know scholars of new religious movements Massimo Introvigne, Italian sociologist and managing director of CESNUR (Center for Studies on New Religions) and Bernadette Rigal-Cellard, from the University of Bordeaux, French lecturer in law Frédéric-Jérôme Pansier, and human rights activists Willy Fautré, of Brussels-based Human Rights Without Frontiers, and Alessandro Amicarelli, human rights attorney in London and chairperson of the European Federation for Freedom of Belief (FOB).

Livre blanc sur le projet de Loi confortant le respect des principes de la République

Article 38 : Le nouveau projet de loi français contre l’extrémisme discrimine les religions basées à l’étranger
En vertu de l’article 38, ces contributions devraient être déclarées au « préfet », qui peut les interdire comme étant contraires à un « intérêt social fondamental ». Quelqu’un peut croire qu’un « préfet » n’agira que si les ressources sont clairement destinées à soutenir le terrorisme ou l’extrémisme politique. Mais ce n’est pas le cas. La France s’oppose officiellement aux groupes qu’elle qualifie de « sectes » et coopère officiellement, comme l’a confirmé la ministre déléguée à la Citoyenneté, Marlène Schiappa, lors de la discussion de la loi, avec l’UNADFI, une organisation française de lutte contre les sectes qui fait partie de la FECRIS, la Fédération européenne des centres de recherche et d’information sur le sectarisme. La FECRIS, qui reçoit un soutien financier du gouvernement français, a récemment été exposée par la Commission américaine sur la liberté religieuse internationale comme une menace internationale grave pour la liberté religieuse.

Les caricatures et… l’espace sacré
Ce qui était au départ une réaction spontanée, légitime et populaire, face à une série d’assassinats barbares et qui cimentait l’opinion publique autour de valeurs universelles : le droit à la vie et la liberté d’expression…, risque de devenir une source de divisions, de conflits et la négation d’autres valeurs, tout aussi universelles, que sont le respect de l’autre, le droit à la différence et la tolérance…
