“The CFCM has been working on the issue of the Muslim chaplains for Muslim prisoners, who make up 70% of prisoners in the French jails,” he stressed.

"Last year, a French study revealed that Muslims make up between 50-70% of prisoners in the French jails.

The French Justice Ministry has been keen to appoint a Muslim chaplain for Muslims prisoners in an effort to combat what it terms the “Salafi” religious stream in the French prisons, IOL learnt from sources at the CFCM.

Since the 9/11 attacks in the United States, the issue of naming Muslim chaplains for Muslim prisoners has been high on the agenda of the French government to deal with Muslim detainees suspected of links with “extremist groups”."

70%!

When is France going to establish a Ministry of Muslim Affairs??? In a not to distant future, the world may remember when France was French.
