Dalil Boubakeur Casts The Farewell, Defends Muslims' Role in France

Paris Grand Mosque Dean, Dalil Boubakeur, made a speech at the 33rd annual gathering of Muslims in France under the title of “co-existence”, on Sunday, at Le Bourget Exposition Hall (north of Paris), from behind the iron security fence, and gave magic commandments as a key of salvation for the Muslims of France, especially from Europe’s curse of discrimination and marginalization, abuse and Islamophobia that becomes an obsession that chased Europeans after Daesh terrorist attacks, and spoke about “peace”, “brotherhood” and “Union.”

“Media campaigns are intensive and critical against the win of the first Muslim Dean in the British capital, although it is a step forward to open the way for the Muslims’ progress in Europe, especially the youth in higher positions in the future. Hope is before us and for us and for the future of Muslim generations, we want to live together and we want to participate in the construction of the rules and values ​​of the French society, as our Muslim ancestors did previously.”

Chairman of the Turkish Muslims’ Coordination in France, Ahmed Oughras, said the title of the end of the forum is “Together, we build the future”, and the message which is intended is to renounce hatred against Muslims in France.

“Our problem is that we are Muslims and we live in a rough, and everyone believes that we do not like communication and talk, but the Muslims are skilled in this art. Today, Muslims must speak freely on the grounds that they are French citizens and not on the basis that they are Muslims, and this is because they are part of France and they share the French in political, cultural, economic and educational fields. I call on every Muslims in France to participate in the elections and choose the future president, because it proves that the Muslims of France are part of the French society, and in the opposite case, we are quasi-humans”.
