1-French Interior Minister on organizations that refuse to sign the the Charter of principles of French Islam: "We can no longer talk to people who refuse to write down that the law of the Republic is superior to the law of God"
2- This absolutely violates the essence of laïcité and separation of Churches and State. I will repeat a question I asked previously: are we going to ask Christians, Jews, Buddhists etc. to sign a paper saying that the law of the Republic is superior to the law of God?
3)There is a difference between what you believe in and what you do. For many believers (regardless their religion), the law of God is superior, it's a belief, it's the forum internum. The state can't force you to believe in something you don't believe in.
4) However in practice, the vast majority of them respect, defend and abide by secular law. So my question is (no sarcasm here): what is the French government trying to do with that Charter and how in practice this will help fighting extremism and terrorism?
5) Is this type of Charter going to be extended to other religions? Isn't up to believers to organize their religion? Isn't it the role of the state in a secular laïque country to not interfere with the organization of religion and to not interfere with people's beliefs?
