French thinker: The French state is taking anti-Islam measures that have gone beyond a very dangerous level

A researcher at the French National Center for Scientific Research, François Burga, warned against the escalation of the phenomenon of Islamophobia to dangerous levels in France in particular and Europe in general, pointing out that it has become a state phenomenon and is no longer the preserve of the extreme right.

Burga said in an interview with the Egyptian newspaper (Arabi 21), which was followed by Shia Waves News Agency: “The (French) state, with its anti-Islamic measures, has crossed a very dangerous boundary and has worked more and more to suppress the views of the vast majority of Muslims in the country.”

He went on to say: “France today is fighting Muslims in general; it is no longer fighting the actions of a small minority by a small handful of so-called extremist citizens who are particularly tempted by armed action.”

Burga pointed out that “the rise of the extreme right in Europe may continue in one or several European countries, until the arrival of this political generation to power allows it to prove the extreme fragility of its theses and its excessive arrogance.”

France is not the only one fighting Islam and Muslims today, according to Burga. “The Russian President, Vladimir Putin, is seeking through the intervention of his forces in the Islamic world to avenge the defeat of the Soviet army against the Afghan Mujahideen, according to what one of the advisers to the former Russian president told him, Boris Yeltsin, on this matter.”

Many members of the French far-right and the French right are also seeking to avenge “the loss of Algeria”, according to what the French thinker emphasized.
