Brief:<\/b><\/p>

Joseph Massad, Professor of Modern Arab Politics and Intellectual History at Columbia University (New York), argues that the new statement by the French president Emmanuel Macron about \u2018liberating\u2019 Islam is a deep-rooted French \u2018secular\u2019 tradition. Further, he states that the hate of Muslims in France is a common discourse of the government, the media, and the pundits. This discourse incites violence against Muslims inside and outside France. Macron is not the first French ruler who wants to \u201cliberate\u201d Islam. The author elaborates on France\u2019s invasion of Algeria as an example of the French colonial brutality against Muslims, and how France in 1832 wiped out the whole tribe of the <\/span>Quffias<\/span><\/i>, leaving no women and children in addition to confiscating all their possessions. The author calls out the French barbarism in Algeria that caused the death of one million people, which is approximately one-third of the Algerian population. Massad maintains that killing a third of the Algerians, eliminating the entire elite, and destroying dozens of towns and villages to the ground did not resolve France\u2019s \u201ccrisis\u201d with Islam, since the real crisis in France is the French chauvinism. However, to end France\u2019s crisis with Islam as well as with itself, France has to pay back the debts for the robberies and killings it has caused around the world according to the author.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>
