According to Islamologist Radouane Attiya, nearly 600 imams practice in Belgium today, but only around a hundred are recognized. “What about the remaining 500 imams who continue to speak today? It is of course possible to have very conservative speeches, but I was able to hear Salafo-Wahhabi accents in a speech given at the Grand Mosque in Brussels a few months ago.” According to him, “the speech, mainly delivered in Arabic, was given in a rather guilt-ridden and divisive tone. It did not tend to promote the values of our society, living together.“
“There are mosques where the speeches are more radical“, recognizes Denis Ducarme, federal deputy MR, “but these mosques are fairly well monitored. There is a screening of imams. Mosques remain above all a place of worship, a majority of Muslims do not pose any difficulty in this country. It is on social networks that the scourge is found.“
