Macron Orders New Measures to Counter Muslim Brotherhood Influence in France

  • French President Emmanuel Macron is meeting senior officials on May 25, 2025, to review a report on political Islamism in France.
  • The meeting follows a report warning that the Muslim Brotherhood poses a threat to national cohesion and republican institutions.
  • Gabriel Attal's Renaissance party, aligned with President Macron, seeks to prohibit children under 15 from displaying the Muslim headscarf in public places and to criminalize parents who pressure their underage daughters to wear it.
  • The report highlights the spread of political Islamism at the local level through 68 affiliated places of worship and calls for public awareness campaigns and secular engagement with the Muslim community.
  • The government’s actions suggest a long-term response to Islamism, though critics warn these measures risk discriminating against visibly Muslim women amid ongoing debates in French society.
