In France, several associations are pressing the government to take measures against the availability of Islamic books that promote violence, including calls for jihad and executions for apostasy. These texts are currently accessible on various online platforms and cultural programs like 'passe culture', which aims to educate the youth about cultural diversity. Activists are questioning whether these platforms should be more vigilant about the materials they distribute, particularly those that advocate for violence.

The issue has gained traction as the Great Mosque of Paris has recently published a guide aimed at promoting better acceptance of Muslim practices in Western countries. Critics argue that while these efforts are commendable, they are undermined by the presence of radical texts in public circulation. They feel that religious institutions must take a more proactive role in distancing themselves from literature that contradicts the values of tolerance and peace that they are trying to promote.

In addressing the problem, lawyers representing the associations, including Me Carine Chaix, outline the importance of protecting societal values and children from violent ideologies. The ongoing debate highlights the broader tensions surrounding freedom of expression, the responsibility of cultural platforms, and the need for a more inclusive dialogue about religious practices in France, especially in the context of recent events concerning Islamic beliefs and practices in the country.
