(Anadolu) The French Council of the Muslim Faith (CFCM) on Wednesday warned that Muslim citizens in France feel increasingly exposed to “constant suspicion,” following the publication of excerpts from a government-commissioned report on political Islam and the Muslim Brotherhood.
“Many Muslim citizens today feel that they are no longer safe from constant suspicion,” the CFCM said in a written statement, expressing alarm over the potential consequences of the report.
The French daily Le Figaro on Wednesday published extracts from the report, titled “Political Islamism and the Muslim Brotherhood,” which was prepared by two senior civil servants for presentation to the Defense Council.
The CFCM criticized the report for “fueling widespread suspicion” and called for a more nuanced and data-driven approach to evaluating threats linked to extremism.
