Titolo: Teologia del sarkozismo avanzato

Ora, premesso (ad usum puporum; un vero gregge, ultimamente...) che i 
predicatori favorevoli al terrorismo meriterebbero di beccarsi un 
esiziale prurito agli zebedei, mi domando come farà il candidato (perché 
ormai a quello è ridotto) Sarkozy a scegliere fra gli imam sospetti. Un 
test teologico? Li farà giurare sulla Costituzione sperando che si 
brucino la manina (l'effetto-acquasanta sugli indemoniati, ma in salsa 
laica)? La campagna elettorale francese rischia di diventare più 
spassosa (al saldo dello sfruttamento del sangue altrui) della 
competizione repubblicana per la scelta del candidato alla presidenza 
USA. Btw, anche la "risposta" di Hollande sulla Corsica non è che sia un 
monumento alla calliditas, eh.

Sarkozy to bar radical imams from entering France
 
26/03/2012
 
PARIS, (Reuters) - France will bar radical Muslim preachers from 
entering the country to participate in an Islamic conference next month 
as part of a crackdown after shootings by an al Qaeda-inspired gunman, 
President Nicolas Sarkozy said on Monday.
 
Sarkozy, who has announced plans to punish those viewing Islamist Web 
sites and going abroad for indoctrination, said he would block the entry 
of some imams invited to a congress organised by the Union of French 
Islamic Organisations (UOIF).
 
The UOIF, one of three Muslim federations in France, is regarded as 
close to Egypt's Islamist Muslim Brotherhood.
 
"I have clearly indicated that there certain people who have been 
invited to this congress who are not welcome on French soil," Sarkozy 
told France Info radio.
 
He cited Sheikh Youssef al-Qaradawi, an Egyptian cleric based in Qatar 
who is one of the most prominent Sunni Muslim clerics in the Arab world 
and a household name in the Middle East due to regular appearances on 
the Al Jazeera news channel.
 
A former member of Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood, Qaradawi is independent 
of the group but remains close to it. Sarkozy said the situation was 
complicated because the imam holds a diplomatic passport and does not 
require a visa to enter France.
 
"I indicated to the Emir of Qatar himself that this person was not 
welcome on the territory of the French republic," Sarkozy said. "He will 
not come."
 
Qaradawi was denied a visa to visit Britain in 2008 on grounds of 
seeking to "justify acts of terrorist violence or disburse views that 
could foster inter-community violence", a Home Office spokeswoman said 
at the time. The cleric had defended Palestinian suicide bombers in 
Israel and attacks on U.S.-led coalition forces in Iraq.
 
MERAH A "MONSTER"
 
Sarkozy, campaigning for re-election, rebutted criticism by opposition 
politicians that the security services blundered in allowing 23-year-old 
Mohamed Merah, a petty criminal known to have visited Afghanistan twice, 
to shoot dead seven people in a 10-day rampage in southwest France.
 
"Here is a young criminal who suddenly becomes a very active terrorist 
without any transition. As far as we know there was no cell," Sarkozy said.
 
The conservative leader announced plans last week to make it a crime to 
repeatedly consult Internet sites advocating Islamic extremism and to 
punish those who travel overseas for indoctrination or terrorist training.
 
The legislation will have to wait until after a two-round April-May 
presidential election because the Socialist opposition has resisted an 
emergency session of parliament to approve them.
 
The killing spree by Merah, who shot dead three Jewish children and four 
adults before he was killed by police commandos at the end of a 30-hour 
siege on Thursday, has pushed security to the top of the political agenda.
 
Sarkozy, who made his name as a hardline interior minister, has received 
a slight popularity bounce but still trails Socialist rival Francois 
Hollande in polls for a May 6 runoff.
 
Far right candidate Marine Le Pen has attempted to link the killings to 
immigration. "How many Mohamed Merahs, in planes and boats, arrive each 
day in France?" she asked on Sunday.
 
Sarkozy said it made no sense to connect the crimes with either 
immigration or Islam, saying this would only encourage discrimination. 
He noted that Merah was born and raised in France: "He was simply a 
monster."
 
The president said, however, there were good reasons for curbing 
immigration, including the strain on France's generous welfare system 
and way of life.
 
Speaking in Corsica at the weekend, Hollande hit back at conservative 
charges that the Socialists are soft on security, questioning Sarkozy's 
own record.
 
The French island has the highest murder rate in Europe: in 2011, there 
were 22 murders and attempted murders for 300,000 inhabitants.
 
"This is a territory exposed to violence and killings for five years, 
there have been on average 20 murders a year, and (Sarkozy) comes to 
give us lessons on security?" Hollande said.
