France Eyes Tougher Veil Laws, Anti-Entryism Measures After Muslim Brotherhood Sharia Plot Warning

  • On Wednesday, former Prime Minister Gabriel Attal and Macron's Renaissance party proposed extending the veil ban to girls under 15 in France following a government report.
  • The report revealed that the Muslim Brotherhood has conducted a decades-long campaign to infiltrate French institutions and promote Sharia law through Islamist entryism.
  • It detailed operatives embedded across schools, sports clubs, shops, and dating platforms, and noted a surge in young girls, some as young as five, being forced to wear the veil.
  • Attal proposed new legislation to criminalize forcing children to wear veils and called for stronger measures building on the 2021 separatism law to protect children's rights and promote gender equality.
  • The proposals sparked intense political backlash across parties, with critics warning of Islamophobia risks, while officials like Interior Minister Retailleau warned of an existential Islamist threat to French values.
