France is being slammed for seeking to create what President Emmanuel Macron calls, a French Islam.

A draft bill announced by Macron for the creation of “Islam of the Enlightenment” is being dismissed as xenophobic and racist. The “fight against separatism” bill is expected to be submitted to the Council of Ministers in December, later this year. Macron says the proposed legislation is an attempt to erase divisions within the society, though it further polarises Muslims and seeks to impose France’s warped values on the religion.
