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.

For France it has been one step forward and two steps backward for quiet some time, when dealing with Islam and its terror. Good luck to this minister for attempting to separate Muslims from Islamists. How long will these Leftists try to white wash Islam?.

“How long will these Leftists try to white wash Islam?”
As long as they remain Leftists, the answer to your depressing query is “forever” since remaining a Leftist means you never learn how the world really works.
Leftists function in a false world as much as Muslims do. One of several reasons, all rotten reasons, why Leftists and Muslims are allies.

Wellington,
Thanks for your reply. I can barely disagree with you any of your observations, they are generally immaculate. Thanks for your time.
Wellington says
Thank you, Raja.
Wellington says
Beyond dumb.
Actually iniquitous because it represents just one more example of excusing and enabling evil—and excusing and enabling evil is a form of evil in and of itself, never mind the rank stupidity and cowardice of doing so.
Rob Porter says
Utterly! This French Minister of the Interior needs to have the interior of his brain examined. The man is pitifully stupid.
Beneath the Veil of Consciousness says
Muslims always seem to get to play the victims. This latest sleight of hand trick distracts us from the true victims, mainly the French people and their democratic principles.
Infidel says
Monsieur Darmanin, I’d suggest you worrying about your native French citizens first before lamenting the plight of muslims, who, whether you like it or not, happily enjoy that superiority complex that islam gives them and are pretty smug about it

France: Interior Minister says ‘French Muslims are the first to fall victim to Islamists’
………………
Even if this assertion were true, how would it be a good idea for France to contiue to allow Muslims to flood into their civilized nation?
gary fouse says
Tell that to the family of Sarah Halimi. Tell that to the family of the policewoman killed days ago in Rambouiilett. Tell that to Charlie Hebdo. God, I could go on forever. Darmanin is a pathetic boob.

These Leftists are always managing contradictions (and firefighting) that they end spewing nonsense.
Isn’t this also called con-artistry?
Bikinis not Burkas says
If Jihad is the ultimate goal to meet Allah, why are there old Imams, why aren’t they sacrificing themselves first at an early age or are they the hypocrites the Quran talks?
Quran 9:73
Sahih International:
O Prophet, fight against the disbelievers and the hypocrites and be harsh upon them. And their refuge is Hell, and wretched is the destination.
And their refuge is hell, I would and any intelligent person should take that the hypocrites are to be killed!
