French Interior Minister awards Order of Merit to Roubaix mayor accused of using taxpayers’ money to fund Islamist propaganda in schools

Translation: What the #zoneinterdite report doesn’t say is that.

immediately after his arrival at the Ministry of the Interior, awarded the Mayor of #Roubaix, who is accused in the report, with the National Order of Merit.

The Roubaix-based association AIR (Ambition et initiatives pour la réussite) has been accused of carrying out religious activities since March 2021, although it was subsidised. Under the guise of tutoring, the organisation, which is housed in public premises, gave Arabic lessons that apparently concealed Quranic courses.

While the association denies everything from the beginning, we have published numerous proofs to the contrary. And on Sunday evening, the broadcast Zone interdite on the M6 channel investigated further . The programme’s journalists went into the association’s premises with a hidden camera. This allowed them to collect statements that differed from the official narrative. “We don’t do it this year because we are monitored by the state,” whispers a teacher of the association. A mother adds: “There used to be two sessions a week, one for Islamic education and one for the Quran. My daughter, she was three years old, knew all the suras!” Another: “They teach the Quran, religion, prayers and all that. The director told me, “We’re waiting until things calm down because we’re afraid they’ll close us down.”La Voix du Nord
