The work “In the Heart of French Islam ” was published in France. 3 years of infiltration of 70 mosques”, by Etienne Delarcher (psuedonim), published by Éditions du Rocher. The book is simply a consequence of a journalistic investigation and penetration into the Muslim community. Conclusions confirm the erstwhile intuitions about the utmost differences between Islam and French culture. The author's main thesis states that even the "moderate imams" are rather far from the "Republic principles" and their aim would be to have the power applying Sharia law.
Etienne Delarcher spoke to many clergymen of Islam, asking about the most disputed problems, including the compatibility of the Koran laws with the laws and regulations of the Republic. He claimed to be a late converted convert. In this way, he visited a full of 70 mosques, where he mainly met with alleged "moderate" clergymen, not imams known for his radicalism.
This does not change the fact that the conclusions are obvious. Islam is not “compatible” with Western democracy and civilization. Most of the imams with whom he spoke support Sharia, including the usage of force towards women, are for corporal punishment, theocracy based on Sharia, etc. Even the most violent commandments of the Quran are frequently transmitted and interpreted virtually by them. Nor do these "moderate" imams hide their attachment to muslim theocracy as a social "perfect" system.
Interestingly, in the momentum of the fresh “belief”, muslim clergy were much more sincere than in the officially preached mosques of science. No wonder, due to the fact that in France their “chapters” are monitored. “I asked 15 spiritual leaders if thieves should be cut off? Fourteen replied yes," writes the author. The writer was even amazed to find specified literal interpretations of the Quran in the contemporary mosques of France.
A writer hiding under the pseudonym Etienne Delarcher (which is besides the “sign of the French times”) approached the subject without any prejudice, following the desire to deepen the subject, which is “very superficially treated in the media”. Tens of hours of imam recordings contain advice to “do transgressions or crimes, all in the name of respect for the word of the prophet.”
The conclusions are not surprising. erstwhile the French fight against "radical variations of Islamism", including salafism, and the state targets the Muslim Brotherhood, the everyday Islam of millions of believers turns out to be no little radical.
The book did not pass without an echo. For example, the Council of the Rodan Mosques (CMR) “cut off” from 1 of its imams' statements in the book. Others criticise the book, claiming that “the practice of average Muslims is detached from specified obscene orders.” However, this does not change the fact that the implantation of Islam in France brings challenges that politicians did not expect, hoping to bring Muslims into the secular world. W
Although the book's conclusions are hard to consider as revealing, the book should be treated as another informing against beginning up to immigration and multiculturalism, and against putting a sign of equality between all religions in the name of false “ecumenism”.
