attack once again this morning 3 of our compatriots well in east in this not. very clearly from his and. he knew something if we are attacked it is for our values for our taste for freedom but this possibility on our soil the belief really not to give in to any mind of terror so i say it with great clarity once again we will not give in european leaders reintroducing strict measures in response to rising coronavirus and factions spain's catalonia region is shutting its borders for 15 days from says going into a month long national lockdown and germany has announced nationwide restrictions. president donald trump and his democratic challenger joe biden have been holding competing rallies in the battleground states of florida where just 5 days to go until the u.s. election a record breaking 80000000 americans have already cast early in person or mail in

another attack in france facing growing muslim brage muslims are angry over what they say is a targeting of their religion the french president argues it's freedom of speech and this with be bridged and can an understanding between between western leaders and the muslim world this is inside story. hello welcome to the program. a series of attacks and fronts 3 people were killed in a stabbing in a church in the southern city of nice

a man who was shot dead in more of a near me an afterthought blackening possibly with a gun and injured in saudi arabia god was attacked outside the french consulate these incidents follow the beheading of a french teacher whose show the prophet's cartoon in his class earlier this month president manuel micron has defended the cartoons in the name of freedom of speech thousands have taken to the streets across several muslim nations to denounce him tensions have been growing between mccrone on the muslim world over what many see as an attack by the president on valid religion but on sunday again a lot of fronts in europe in general do not deserve the vicious provocative ugly hateful policies of mccrum and those who share the same mentality we invite prudent europeans to take initiative against this. dangerous trend in order to have a bright future for them and their children we ask those who use anti muslim and turkish hostility to cover up their failures in their domestic politics to lay

their dirty hands off our sacred values. of war and if the west is really being honest if europe is being honest if france is being honest when saying they are after peace brotherhood and security for the international community the west must stop meddling in the internal affairs of muslims. people can have the freedom to express what is in their thoughts but i imagine that this stops when it comes to offending the feelings of more than 1500000000 people muslims in several countries have been calling for a boycott of french products goods made in france were pulled from supermarket shelves in kuwait and qatar the tide university has cancelled a french culture week and calls to stay away from the french grocery store chain call for war trending on social media in saudi arabia and the united arab emirates . let's bring in our guests

jaime there's a political analyst specializing in france and north africa who joins us from paris . is a professor of politics at the institute for graduate studies and he joins us from doha joining us from london is a scholar in religion and international affairs at carnegie endowment for international peace welcome to all of you i mean are we likely to see the french government taking a tougher measures. to combat what president buckwheat has been describing as. islamic separatism. yes i think it's very important rule fight this disease not only in france but in the war what they proposed to the french president to us a goal is to take the message you know i see i think the group can be a good idea. to explain for the french muslim people that it's important to work

with them as with the incorporation we do is can people and the feeling of the friendship community what's immigrant community is it is today i think the future to read or i see it can be a very. good idea to build the relationship between the muslim countries which are 57 you know icy. to demand a seat and the france has asked more than 7000000 french muslim that's i think france. to ask for the seat and it can be a very with me should you or to build and to consolidate the dialogue of this you can the station i think it's it can be a very good idea it has to be. true to implement which france and others countries ok i'm don't have i mean if you look at the sequence of events micron

talking about the need to tackle radicalization in france and then the beheading of some some well patty now the attacks in this is this something that is likely to further increase the debate about the need to deal with radicalization immigration and the other key issues now which are topping the agenda in fronts. i think that prison merkel has been adopting this is a real effect. right is upon. is that i was. in this in south. 'd some people within the muslim community who are injured. 'd in inappropriate kinds of violence but there has always be. approaches to this. problem.

which was followed by the. most. to terror to jeanne's what she looks at holy stymied activist especially the one which supports work in a city or supports the skin and writes the program and they want to use the fight to radicalization to fighting democracy and fighting those who support the syrian rights most of the other actors in the very international. street. this is costing them it too why it. is going to antagonize more people. and so it's create a problem being. pro israel the. activists inside 1990 that have been treating any muslim or his or observing with them then you must who. movements are it's ok if you are if you

have dreamed. for a 1000000000 terrorist why and you can never fight this year of fighting there were . were not but it will not succeed. and. you will rest your time my resources are not getting anywhere all right on this so i think that the better your dorcas went on this show and this is a nation that has come and several attacks over the last 2 years that claimed the lives of dozens of people in a scene paris why do you see france moving forward against the backdrop of all this whole debate about france and islam so i think there's a temptation 1st to see the situation at the moment as being one where you have a foreign elements within france so i am muslims. who are responsible for all sorts of things. terrorism separatism etc

1st i think that's a completely erroneous way to look at that these are french citizens they are muslim french citizens but unfortunately you have people inside and outside of the country who would prefer to portray them as other men and will try to internationalize this sort of issue in a way that means that their view as aliens who are operating at the behest of foreign governments and so on so i think that's very dangerous because they are french they are not any less french from the non muslim compact shrooms but you do have on a domestic level within france different political movements including i have to say at the highest levels of government that thrive off of the other opposition of these communities particularly against the backdrop of you know

a presidential election that's coming up in just a year or so the gradual sort of mainstreaming of the far right and right wing sentiments in france and muslim french citizens pay the price for the fact and i think we all have to be very. be careful about saying that you know we need through we gave each with countries abroad other countries outside of france who can quote unquote speak for the most nobody could speak so france except the muslims of france they're not an alien community you know was sort of transplanted from some or how made i was watching some of the t.v. shows. on french t.v. is over the last 2 days very extraordinary moments when a french a writer would say for example the muslims are the biggest threat to france because their religion is a religion of conquest and hatred other saying that it's about time to rethink or

to reinvent islam for islam to be compatible with secularism how do you see that debate moving forward now in france against the backdrop of the latest attacks in nice. yes a very good question thank you for asking me about this question but i think many programs today in france are inviting some hatreds in france and it's i think it's very dangerous for our community particularly for the french muslim community and also for the stability of the country because your previous guest this program and this month she chloe with a french citizen there was the president and how to solve this problem also the french citizens and aunts and the response was to come for the french citizens and the french muslim citizens and we. don't yes or go into many media we know that slot or some people out of the other agenda get slammed to confuse people who read their recent islam and we need to distinguish between 220 stinks that's why it's

important i think for them all media to take their own responsibility and to invite the french citizens was going to be known tentacled on tourism but also for the corporate you took cooperate with the french citizens because they're french 1st they were 1st form of the french and we've seen today micro unfortunately a house. peak with the popular language and. you know make up shoes make a lot of confusing with people that's why i know the french. are very worried about the situation we have to fix some initiate you as i said or 2 to consolidate the dialogue of this union station we use platform in this organisation that is where we can pork a star and other country can play a larger or to build this relationship and we have many things in common that's

that's all that for the time being i'm under 100 you have a backlash which is gaining momentum across the world following the statement made by the men and women where mark won when he was so. saying that there is a crisis within islam and it was interpreted by muslims as this man is showing disrespect for them little religion now you have this on one hand and you have the terror attacks targeting civilians in france on the other hand do you see this could this further the bill and the lies that we've seen over the last few weeks building up in the region it has already i think. the president. has been speaking. a language which was. first of all. they were terrorists and not focus. you need to focus on the tennis yet if you're not at the same time when you are.

focusing the tenet tonight which is the main or it's issue. when dems act as roast beef now all this is just going to do this in there as hard. and oh i see all of them are rejecting this and saying it is inexcusable and going to me now if that's the same time what i like yourself where it's. too nice or of us who want to antagonize and want to create anger. then you you put yourself 'd. more months it will look. at the same time i think. you cannot be a secular government just about religion all the time. which is contradiction where and cannot be a secular government he's trying to sort of for british press if you see what

you're reading. that is not is not quite. as the president said. you have 1st of all take yourself out. ok and to speak about. 5 years about humility and not try to make yourself. ok i'm not decorous is the answer to. how do you explain that culture has suddenly become the primary fault line between the west and the muslim world because when you when you listen to the french media the basically saying that the biggest problem and they say that we give legitimacy to some would huntington for the fact that islam is a huge threat to western civilization because islam is a religion of conquest determined to change western values and he seems to be

devoted to reaching across the political spectrum in france. ok so i would question greatly about framing goes in a way that puts the west on one side in the muslim world and the other. huge parts of the west's are muslim you have millions you have tens of millions of muslim western citizens so i don't really think that that's the right training for the us i think that what you have is a very worrying trend of the far right discourse of the pirate itself but the discourse of the far right being mainstreamed across europe and north america and we've seen that with donald trump we've seen that we've seen that in different parts of europe denmark the solely from the far right themselves but the mainstream that discourse because indeed they want to try to get votes more on site right and that that unfortunately is is a phenomena that i think is very prevalent at the moment in many different

countries and you know a part of that resulted in the bricks of bolts and a lot of this i think house to do with how there's a crisis of identity within the west particularly within certain parts of europe as they see greek change taking place around them. how me do you think this could be an opportunity for muslims in france to rethink issues like identity a 2nd that is the way forward in the near future the relationship with europe with western values for them to be able to move on i mean when we study the french history we know that most people are in contradiction or many many many dictates dictates to the french history such are there with not only on the people who came before him to at all in the 700. 68 so in the khalifa or not born in the south of france but unfortunately many people and

particularly the economist and there are so. historian in the french media are misreading their doubt given some speech hatred and the unfortunate didn't know that he so with the french history i think the french people can. play a major role in the country by making you know a part of the political game in france and also all the more. the contre don't do the country the country that is i think it's important it's a 1st state unfortunately it was not by the president kroll that's why i wrote written before 2 years ago no one no strategic no it's true as i said to be a member of the i.c. that you can be a very good initiate you constantly they do dialogue of the nation with the countries west and i think that your guest also is important i don't believe by this polarization between the between the western countries and and the mostly because we have as you know many many many 1000000 whisking rippin 1000000 in

western but it's very important to clarify this ok then what have you been talking about this issue that has been politicized and for a reason now in opposing and you have in a way micron and on the other hand you have done in turkey who seems to be leading the the the the push by many muslim countries to denounce and condemn the statements made by mark on do you think that both leaders have been amply flying this particular issue for pure political ambitions. first kiss. issues issues between turkey and thrives. have started from the from the start of india. which is adjacent shows that the problem which is strike $2.00 to $3.00 as problem 3 muslims and

muslims. are the problems in which. many allies but. mr nice house. is allied with 'd reason they matter to. her allies and israel. is playing in mean that this would be just. discotheque conflicts of interest also the fights between greece and cyprus and turkey which are all about resources about about regional power and i think. actually sharon was right this is not this polarization. muslims anonymous. macaroon seem to use lebanese politics these neck is involved in all their own causes. and this muslims. in part because of these

oppressing people in this can trace and missing people more angry. and then they cannot support this case. and the minorities who. are where alliance are off. the bus truck and said all of them. president cannot and cannot degrade the prophet. this is not our this is not a war we can never fight now that i'm sure would be attacks in on the french embassy in jeddah so you are i think he's with the one crowd point there in the fossils who has tried to make this argument tried and also they decide right ringback the b.b. it's all right france and elsewhere this is back to which will benefit the far right europe ok and not benefits the buggers here of course is this since you've

mentioned the far right. michael has done exactly what his predecessor did which is basically trying to because. we know that he's desperate for reelection and he's trying to alice munro of the far right because this is where the far right prize is something which is going to wear a do think this is something which is going to backfire on him i don't know through a backfire on him because quite frankly what we've seen over the past few years is that when you when you are the rise muslims in whatever way the european continent funks unfortunately it does gain u.-boats it doesn't lose you votes and it requires a certain type of really inspirational leader to turn around and say this is wrong this goes our society of ours. and we shouldn't be doing this because it's going to create even more problems for us in the future but i don't see all that many

leaders trying to do that there's some but it's actually a vote getter ok so that's one aspect of this the the 2nd aspect of it is whether or not it's going to work in terms of reelection i i won't it is important to keep the far right aspect of this in mind but there's also some other issues as well micron has come under heavy criticism in france for his handling of the covert 1000 crisis within his 3 so you know him the that he didn't deal with the last attack and fronts in this way at all ok he's doing it with it in a completely different fashion this time around and when i was the us what what exactly has changed and i think that you you have to keep the the overall sort of picture of where micron fits in french politics right now very much of the forefront i have one last question less than a minute and a half and i would appreciate you save you giving me

a very short and says do you think that the boy caught as an efficient way in warden times of stuff with the meat. yeah the whole quote i think is important to the boycotts against as they said the freedom of speech but is not so i would say is not very important this point call it can be something that's ok that can get out of effect but i think the best thing to do east to open a corporation and dialogue we don't know i see fair enough i see your point let me go to you have a sponsor. to support for the poll tax me france stand up and this in part i think the whole issue of making this popular. star go against the slime of the west is not defending what. so boycotting is a peaceful form of expression i don't think anybody can either the effectiveness of

it the appropriateness of it i think is far more complicated and you have to look at how boycotts however have been worked over the past couple of decades including with regards to the danish cartoons for its sort of you know want to boycott i don't think anybody should say that they can it's it is a peaceful form of expression and if this is all about remove expression then certainly nobody should deny that but in a tactical sense thank you i think so deserves a lot more exemption gentlemen we're running out of time hamid so what are there have left and his how do you know i really appreciate your insight thank you thank you and thank you for watching you can see the program again any time by visiting our website dot com for further discussion go to our facebook page that's facebook dot com for was last a change syslog he can also join the conversation on twitter i would hand it is a chain size phone from the house and the entire team here in doha life enough.
