Hello welcome to the program. A series of attacks and fronts 3 people were killed in a stabbing in a church in the Southern City of nice a man who was shot dead in a near me an afterthought blackening possible with a gun and injured in saudi arabia god was attacked outside the french consulate these incidents follow the beheading of a french teacher whose show the prophets call children in his class earlier this month president manuel micron has defended the cartoons in the name of freedom of speech thousands have taken to the streets across several muslim nations to denounce him tensions have been growing between mccrone on the muslim world over what many see as an attack by the president on valid religion but on some again a lot of fronts in europe in general do not deserve the vicious provocative ugly hateful policies of mccrum and those who share the same meant. Ality we invite prudent europeans to take initiative against this dangerous trend in order to have a Bright Future for them and their children we ask those who use anti muslim and turkish hostility to cover up their failures in their domestic politics to lay their dirty hands off our sacred values. Of war and if the west is really being honest if europe is being honest if france is being honest when saying they are after peace brotherhood and security for the interNational Community the west must stop meddling in the internal affairs of muslims. People can have the freedom to express what is in their thoughts but i imagine that these stops are beneath comes to offending the feelings of more than 1500000000 people muslims in several countries have been calling for a boycott of french products goods made in france were pulled from supermarket shelves in kuwait and Qatar Qatar University has cancelled a french culture week and calls to stay away from the French Grocery store chain call for war trending on social media in saudi arabia and the united arab emirates. Lets bring in our guests jaime theres a political analyst specializing in france and north africa who joins us from paris. Is a professor of politics at the institute for graduate studies and he joins us from doha joining us from london is a scholar in religion and International Affairs at Carnegie Endowment for International Peace welcome to all of you i mean are we likely to see the french government taking a tougher measures. To combat what president bush has been describing as. Islamic separatism. Yes i think its very important rule fight this disease not in only in france but in the war what they proposed to the french president to us a goal is to think he needs it you know i see i think the group can be a good idea. To explain for the french muslim people that its important to work with them as with the incorporation we do is can people and the feeling of the Friendship Community what immigrant community is it is today i think its huge it you know we do i see it can be a very. Good idea to get the relationship between the muslim countries which are 57 you know icy and to demand a seat and the france has almost more than 7000000 french muslim thats why i think france have. To ask for the seat and it can be a very with me should you for to build and to consolidate the dialogue of this you can the station i think its it can be a very good idea it has to be. True to implement which france and others countries ok im dont have any if you look at the sequence of events micron talking about the need to tackle radicalization in france and then the beheading of some some well patty now the attacks in this is this something that is likely to further increase the debate about the need to deal with radicalization immigration and the other key issues now which are topping the agenda in france. I think that prison merkel has been adopting this is a real effect. Right now is upon. Is that i was. In this in south. d some people within the Muslim Community who are injured. d in inappropriate kinds of violence but there has always been a roach is to this police problem. Which is full of. Hate to buy most of the other. To charity genes what looks wholly stymied activist especially the one which supports democracy or supports this to write the program and they want to use that fact to radicalization to fighting democracy and fighting. For rights most of the other actors in the very international. Streatch. This is costing them it too why it. Is going to antagonize more people. And so its create a problem being. Pro israel the ready. Activists inside 1990 that have been treating any muslim or is being with them they must be who. Movements as tourists ok if you are if you have dreamed that. Maybe half a 1000000000 terrorists why and you can never fight this year of fighting there were the d. Were not but it will not succeed. Or less your time or resources are not getting anywhere all right on this so i think that the better your dog assumes on this show and this is a nation that has come and several attacks over the last 2 years that claimed the lives of dozens of people in a sane paris why do you see france moving forward against the backdrop of all this whole debate about france and islam so i think theres a temptation 1st to see the situation at the moment as being one where you have a foreign elements within france so i muslims. Who are responsible for all sorts of things. Terrorism separatism and such or 1st i think thats a completely erroneous way to look at this these are french citizens they are muslim french citizens but unfortunately you have people inside and outside of the country who would prefer to portray them as other men and will try to internationalize this sort of issue in a way that means that their view as aliens who are operating at the behest of foreign governments and so on so i think thats very dangerous because they are french are not any less french from the non muslim compact shrooms but you do have on a domestic level within france different political movements including i have to say at the highest levels of government that thrive off of the other opposition of these communities particularly against the backdrop of you know a president ial election thats coming up in just a year or so the gradual sort of mainstreaming of the far right and right wing sentiments in france and muslim french citizens pay the price for the fact and i think we all have to be very. Be careful about saying that you know we need through we gave each with countries abroad other countries outside of france who can quote unquote speak for the most nobody could speak so france except the muslims of france theyre not an alien community you know was sort of transplanted from summer how made i was watching some of the t. V. Shows. On french t. V. As over the last 2 days very extraordinary moments when a french a writer would say for example the muslims are the biggest threat to france because their religion is a religion of conquest and hatred and other saying that its about time to rethink or to reinvent islam for islam to be compatible with secularism how do you see that debate moving forward now in france against the backdrop of the latest attacks in nice. Yes a very good question thank you for asking me about this question but i think many programs today in france are inviting some hatreds in france and its i think its very dangerous for our community particularly for the french Muslim Community and also for the stability of the country because your previous guest this program and this month she chloe with a french citizen there was the president and how to solve this problem also the french citizens and aunts and the response has to come for the french citizens and the french muslims and we. Dont yes or go in the many media we know that slot or some people out of the other agenda get slammed to confuse people who read their recent islam and we need to distinguish between 220 stinks thats why its important i think for them all media to take their own responsibility and to invite the french citizens muslim to denounce and trickle down to reason but also for the corporate you took cooperate with the french citizens because theyre french 1st they were 1st form of the french and weve seen today micro unfortunately a house. Peak with the popular language and. You know make up shoes make a lot of confusing with people thats why i know the french. Are very worried about the situation think we have to pick some initiate you as i said or i c. N. To to consolidate the dialogue of this Union Station we use platform in this organisation that is where we can pork a star and other country can play a larger role to build this relationship and we have a many things in common thats thats all that for the time being im under 100 you have a backlash which is gaining momentum across the muslim world following the statements made by the men and women where mark won when he was so. Saying that there is a crisis within islam and it was interpreted by muslims as this man is showing disrespect for them religion now you have this on one hand and you have the terror attacks targeting civilians in france on the other hand do you see this could this further the bill and the lies that weve seen over the last few weeks building up in the region it has already i think. The president. Has been speaking. A language which was. First of all. They were terrorists and not focus. You need to focus on the tennis yet these 2 not at the same time when you are. Focusing the target tonight which is the main or its issue. When dont act as roast beef now all that is just going to do this in there as harder and. And oh i guess you know all of them are rejecting this and saying it is inexcusable but going to me now if thats the same time what i like yourself where its. Too nice or of us who want to antagonize and want to create it. Then you you put yourself d in a different more months it will look. At the same time i think. You cannot be a secular government just about religion all the time. Which is contradiction to wear and cannot be a secular government he strive toward a full rich person if you see what you are reading thats the that is not is not what it. You have 2. President set 3. You have 1st of all get yourself out. Ok and 2 to speak to about. 5 years about humility and not try to make yourself. Ok look. How do you explain that culture has suddenly become the primary fault line between the west and the muslim world because when you when you listen to the french media the basically saying that the biggest problem and they say that we give legitimacy to someone huntington for the fact that islam is a huge threat to western civilization because islam is a religion of conquest determined to change western values and he seems to be devoted to reaching across the political spectrum in france. Ok so i would question greatly about framing ghosts in a way that puts the west on one side in the muslim world and the other. Huge parts of the wests are muslim you have millions you have tens of millions of muslim western citizens so i dont really think that thats the right training for this i think that what you have is a very worrying trend of the far right discourse of the fire itself but the discourse of the far right being mainstreamed across europe and north america and weve seen that with donald trump weve seen that weve seen that in different parts of europe denmark the solely from the far right themselves but the mainstream that discourse because indeed they want to try to get votes more on site right and that unfortunately is a phenomena that i think is very prevalent at the moment in many Different Countries and you know a part of that resulted in the bricks of bolts and a lot of this i think house to do with how theres a crisis of identity within the west particularly within certain parts of europe as they see greek change taking place around them. How me do you think this could be an approach on it if for muslims in france to rethink issues like identity a 2nd that is the way forward in the near future the relationship with europe with western values for them to be able to move on i mean when we study the french history we know that people are being ultra beaching there are many many many dictates the gates to the french history such are there with not only on the people who came before him to at all in the 700. 68 so in the khalifa or not born in the south of france but unfortunately many people and particularly the economist and there are so. Hes starring in the french media midstream theyre given some speech patron and the unfortunate didnt know that hes sorry the french history i think the french people can. Play a major role in the country by making you know a part of the political game in france and also all the more to contradict to the country the country that is i think its important its a 1st state unfortunately it was not by the president s micro or thats the road written before 2 years ago or one strategic notes to as i said to be a part of the i see that you can be a very good initiate you constantly they do dialogue of this nation with the countries west and i think that your guest also is important i dont believe by this polarization between the between the western countries and and the mostly because we have as you know many many many 1000000 whisking European Union in Western Union but its very important to clarify these ok then what have you been talking about this issue that has been politicized and for a reason now in opposing and you have in a way micron on the other hand you have done in turkey who seems to be leading the they the the push by many muslim countries to denounce and condemn the statements made by my count do you think that both leaders have been amply flying this particular issue for pure political ambitions. Thus past. Issues issues between turkey and thrives have started from from the side of the league. Which again shows that the problem which. Is trying to to portray as problem. Actually. Problems in which. Many allies but their own kind of like mr nice house in this yes is allied with d the syringes and they matter to. Hers allied. Is playing in mean that this would be just. Discotheque conflicts of interest also to the fight between greece and cyprus and turkey which are all about resources about about Regional Power and i think. Actually show was right this is not this polarization. Muslims anonymous. Groupies seem to use lebanese politics these neck is involved in all their own causes. And this muslims. In part because of these oppressing people in this can trace and missing people more angry. And then they cannot support this case. And the minorities who. Are where elians off. The bus truck and said all of them. President cannot and cannot integrate the prophet. This is not our fault this is d not a war we can never fight now is our show with the attacks in on the French Embassy in jeddah so you are i think hes with the im proud point there in the apostles who has tried to make this argument as trouble and also that we decide right the d far right france and elsewhere this is back to which will benefit the far right trust europe ok and not benefits the buggers here of course is this since youve mentioned the far right. My code has done exactly what his predecessor did which is basically trying to because. We know that hes desperate for reelection and hes trying to alice munro of the far right because this is where the far right prize is something which is going to wear a do think this is something which is going to backfire on him i dont know through a backfire on him because quite frankly what weve seen over the past few years is that when you when you are the rise muslims in whatever way the european continent funks unfortunately it does gain u. Boats it doesnt lose you votes and it requires a certain type of really inspirational leader to turn around and say this is wrong this shows us aside there are. And we shouldnt be doing this because its going to create even more problems for us in the future but i dont see all that many leaders trying to do that theres some but its actually a vote getter ok so thats one aspect of this the the 2nd aspect of it is whether or not its going to work in terms of reelection i i want it is important to keep the far right aspect of this in mind but theres also some other issues as well micron has come under heavy criticism in france for his handling of the covert mine in crisis within his 3 so you know him the that he didnt deal with the last attack and fronts in this way at all ok hes doing it with it in a completely different fashion this time around and when i was the us what what exactly has changed and i think that you you have to keep the the overall sort of picture of where micron fits in french politics right now very much of the forefront i have one last question less than a minute and a half and i would appreciate you save you giving me a very short and says do you think that the boy caught as an efficient way in warden times of stuff with the meat. Yeah the whole quote i think is important to the boycotts against as they said the freedom of speech but is not so i would say is not very important these point call it can be something thats ok that can. Be faked but i think they stick to east to open a corporation and dialogue with all i see fair enough i see your point let me go to you have a sponsor. To support for the poll tax me france stand up and this in part i think the whole issue of making this popular. Shark go against the slime of the west is not defending what. So boycotting is a peaceful form of expression i dont think anybody can either the effectiveness of it the appropriateness of it i think is far more complicated and you have to look at how boycotts have or havent worked over the past couple decades including with regards to the danish cartoons prices so if you want to boycott i dont think anybody should say that they can its it is a peaceful form of expression and if this is all about cream of expression then certainly nobody should deny that but in a tactical sense thank you i think so deserves a lot more exemption gentlemen were running out of time hamid so you thought there would have enough and. How you know i really appreciate your insight thank you thank you and thank you for watching you can see the program again any time by visiting our website dot com for further discussion go to our Facebook Page thats facebook dot com for was last a change size tony can also join the conversation on twitter i would hand it is a chain size phone from the house and the entire team here in doha life enough.
