ABSTRACT

At the end of 2020, the Macron government decided to dismantle the Collective Against Islamophobia in France (CCIF). The CCIF was the primary actor of anti-Islamophobia in France. Its dissolution and the end of its missions in France was a shock for Muslim communities and affected their perception of themselves as well as the trust they put in the rule of law. Macron’s government justified the CCIF’s dissolution in part by arguing that, by denouncing institutional Islamophobia, the organisation incited acts of terrorism against French institutions and its workers. However, the dismantling of the CCIF took place within the larger context of the Macron government’s frustration with the CCIF efforts to question its policies and defend Muslim rights. Thus, the reasons behind the dismantling of the CCIF demand further exploration. After explaining the social function of the CCIF, the events leading to its dissolution as well as its consequences, this paper argues that its dissolution was politically motivated and corresponds with a remodelling of the French colonial counterinsurgency doctrine used to fight against a largely fantasised Islamist separatist insurrection.

摘要

2020年底，马克龙政府决定解散法国反伊斯兰恐惧症集体组织（CCIF）。CCIF 是法国反伊斯兰恐惧症的主要参与者。该组织的解散及其在法国的使命的结束对穆斯林社区来说是一个震惊，影响了他们对自己的看法以及对法治的信任。马克龙政府为解散 CCIF 辩护，部分理由是该组织通过谴责制度性的伊斯兰恐惧症，煽动了针对法国机构及其工人的恐怖主义行为。然而，CCIF 的解散是在马克龙政府对 CCIF 质疑其政策和捍卫穆斯林权利的努力感到沮丧的背景下发生的。因此，CCIF解散的原因有待进一步探讨。
