All voices critical of Islam have been suppressed for more than thirty years, citing "Islamophobia". The concept makes Westerners listen,
and it makes the reformer Muslims impossible. Islam is a world religion, it is universal
it has a mission and cannot be reduced to a single people. Those who want to spare it from the tests that Christianity and Judaism have been through for centuries
he went through, he is deprived of the very opportunity to overcome his current difficulties. In this way, the followers of Islam are forever forced into the role of victim, who are exempted from the responsibility of the violence committed in the name of their religion. The purpose of this book is to expose this fraud, to show that fanaticism is back, and to promote the extraordinary freedom that France provides for its citizens, who are free to decide whether or not to believe in God.
