France: Interior Minister says ‘French Muslims are the first to fall victim to Islamists’

It would be interesting to see how Darmanin distinguishes Islamism from Islam, and explains how the latter has ever existed without its political and supremacist manifestations, but it is unlikely that he does so, or will be asked to do so.

Jihadis justify violence and make recruits among peaceful Muslims by claiming to be the exponents of authentic Islam. It will be interesting to see if Darmanin, or Muslims in France, or anyone else comes up with any comprehensive refutation of that claim, based on Islamic principles. There have been some who have claimed to have provided that refutation, but only did so by ignoring the existence of uncomfortable Qur’anic passages. But in today’s world it is “Islamophobic” to notice such unwelcome and uncomfortable facts.
