This week in France, there is a Muslim council held for the meeting of President Emmanuel Macron. It is held to confirm text for the new charter of republican values for imams in the country to sign.
The council (CFCM) represents nine separate Muslim associations reportedly suggested to include in the text recognization of France’s republic values.
There is a register of imam made in France where each of them would sign up to the charter in return for the accreditation, which is the plan of the CFCM.
