French Magazine Attacked and Threatened with Lawsuit for Calling a Muslim a Muslim

I have often suspected that eventually it would be considered “racist” to identify the race of a member of the privileged non-White class at all.

It seems that in France, this is now a reality.

France24:

A far-right magazine has sparked a firestorm of controversy by describing France’s new education minister as a “Moroccan Muslim at the head of national education” and calling the appointment of the 36-year-old rising star a “provocation”.

Moroccan-born Najat Vallaud-Belkacem is the first woman in French history to hold the office of education minister.

It is the latest step in a brilliant and so-far unstoppable career for the telegenic protégée of President François Hollande.

But far-right magazine Minute splashed a picture of her on the cover of its latest issue that hit newsstands on Wednesday with the caption: “A Moroccan Muslim heads the national education (ministry). The Najat Vallaud-Belkacem provocation.”

…

The head of the ruling Socialist Party, Jean-Christophe Cambadélis, called for Minute magazine to be sued, calling it an “incitement to hatred”.

Meanwhile, the International League against Racism and Anti-Semitism described the cover as “shameful” and said those “spreading hate” had to be stopped.

Vallaud-Belkacem herself, who already found herself targeted by the far-right when she was minister for womens’ rights, spoke out Wednesday against “Minute”.

“I call for respect … And I repeat in particular that racism is not an opinion, but a crime,” she told the Associated Press.

Vallaud-Belkacem was born in the Moroccan countryside but grew up in the suburbs of the northern city of Amiens before heading to Paris to study.
