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

  • A government report published in May 2025 revealed that the Muslim Brotherhood has spent several decades attempting to covertly influence French public institutions and guide Muslim populations toward the implementation of Sharia law.
  • The report prompted Emmanuel Macron's Renaissance party, led by former Prime Minister Gabriel Attal, to propose extending the 2011 ban on full-face veils to girls under 15 and to enact laws against Islamist entryism.
  • The report detailed Brotherhood-linked operatives controlling schools, sports clubs, shops, and financial services to promote conservative religious practices while using social justice language to legitimize their influence.
  • Bruno Retailleau, serving as Interior Minister, warned of a clear danger aimed at imposing Sharia law on French society, while far-left leader Jean-Luc Mélenchon dismissed the report’s conclusions as delusional and accused the government of promoting Islamophobia.
  • The debate has deepened political rifts in France, underscoring the difficulties in maintaining the country's commitment to a secular state, preserving its cultural values, and protecting religious rights amid demands for tougher actions against Islamist groups.
