Anti-French preaching: threatened with expulsion, imam Mahjoub Mahjoubi is disowned by his Muslim peers
Scathingly disavowed by Muslim representatives, including Tareq Oubrou, grand imam of the Bordeaux mosque, and Abdallah Zekri, vice-president of the French Council of Muslim Worship and CFCM delegate at the Nîmes mosque, the less than we can say that the Tunisian Mahjoub Mahjoubiwho until then officiated under the dual role of imam in Bagnols-sur-Cèze (Gard) and vice-president of the departmental council of Muslim worship, was unanimously against him.
It must be said that his sermons, which hardly advocated the good word, in this case of Islam, earned him today in the crosshairs of the Republic, through its Minister of the Interior, Gérald Darmanin. He, in fact, yesterday requested the withdrawal of his residence permit to better force him out of France…
Under the influence of a preliminary investigation which has just been carried out for advocating terrorism, Mahjoub Mahjoubi preaches in the desert when he pleads a very unfortunate “slip of the tongue” to defend himself from having knowingly uttered “anti-French remarks” of extreme virulence, bordering on “delirious” for Tareq Oubrou.
There will in fact be no one, particularly within the Muslim community, to believe that his tongue simply slipped when, in a video which provides overwhelming proof of this in images, the latter castigated “these tricolor flags which plague us” with “satanic value”.
On the contrary, Mahjoub Mahjoubi attracted the wrath of his Muslim peers. Tareq Oubrou unreservedly condemned his disastrous position, totally in “at odds with the Koranic message”, while insisting on the fact that “This Islam has never existed, Islam recognizes the diversity of religions, of nations.” “It’s a crazy speech, I think he’s in a trance, he doesn’t know what he’s saying and it’s already serious,” he greatly lamented.
Indignation was also at its height among Abdallah Zekri, the vice-president of the French Council of Muslim Worship and CFCM delegate at the Nîmes mosque, who did not have words strong enough to disapprove Mahjoub Mahjoubi. “This gentleman does not know the history of France, he is missing the point,” he deeply regretted this Monday on RMC, hoping that an OQTF measure would be taken quickly.
