(Jerusalem Post) The left-wing French party La France Insoumise (LFI) has extensive ties to Islamist elements, several French journalists have testified in recent weeks. The testimonies have been presented to the French National Assembly, which has launched a parliamentary commission of inquiry on the links between LFI and Islamist networks.
Amid the inquiry, Syrian-French journalist Omar Youssef Souleimane published a book on the same topic. News of the upcoming novel caused panic in LFI circles, who attempted to, by legal means, acquire a copy prior to it being published but did not succeed. “The Islamists use LFI as a Trojan horse to have political interests and get to parliament,” he said. “For its part, LFI is using the Islamists. They are taking Muslims in France as hostages for electoral reasons.”
