(Radio France) Nearly 200,000 people are expected to visit the Bourget this weekend, where the annual Gathering of France’s Muslims is taking place. The 36th edition, organised by “Rencontre Annuelle des Musulmans de France” (RAMF), carries the slogan “Muslims: their future is in the making.”
It’s the biggest event of its kind in France, and in Europe. Each year it aims to better reflect contemporary society. That means bringing together men and women of different ages and nationalities, with different political and religious leanings.
“The future of Muslims in this country must be thought out carefully and built upon a solid base of living in harmony and the values of fraternity and solidarity,” RAMF says.
They are hoping the debate will be put back on the agenda at a national level.
