(National-UAE) France’s president Emmanuel Macron has revealed plans to disband some radical Islamic associations and outlaw “certain practices” in what is seen as a preview of his long-awaited announcement on the organisation of Islam in France.
Mr Macron said he was adopting a low-key approach as he worked to finalise decisions “because we have often failed.” He promised announcements in the coming weeks.
The president told French RTL radio he was determined to combat separatism which he claimed had taken root in some areas, leading to the rejection of the French republic and its distortion “in the name of Islam.”
“In my fight against separatism, against political Islam, I will be intractable,” he said.
