خبر من مصادر إنجليزية.

أثار وصف مجلة "مينوت" الفرنسية لوزيرة التعليم بأنها "مسلمة مغربية"، معتبرةً تعيينها في المنصب "استفزازًا" - حملة واسعة من الانتقادات؛ حيث اعتبر هجومها إثارة للكراهية ضد المسلمين.

وتُعد "نجاة بلقاسم" أول امرأة في التاريخ الفرنسي تتولى ها المنصب.

وقد وصفت الرابطة الدولية لمكافحة العنصرية ومعادة السامية موقف المجلة بأنه "مُخزٍ"، مطالبةً بالتصدي لعناصر اليمين المتطرف التي تنشر الكراهية.

وقد أعربت الحكومة عن دعمها الكامل للوزيرة، مشددًا على أن الرد على دعاوى العنصرية اليمينية، يظهر في تنصيب وزيرة التعليم ذات الأصول المغربية؛ المصدر: شبكة الألوكة.

In one of its new rants against France Muslims, a far-right weekly has caused a firestorm of controversy after describing France's new education minister as a "Moroccan Muslim" and calling her appointment a "provocation".

"The front page of Minute is an incitement to hatred. It should be sued in court," the head of the ruling Socialist Party, Jean-Christophe Cambadelis, said in a statement, calling for the magazine to be sued, Agence France Presse (AFP) reported on Wednesday, September 3.

The International League against Racism and Anti-Semitism described the cover as "shameful" and said those "spreading hate" had to be stopped.

Morocco-born Najat Vallaud-Belkacem is the first woman in French history to hold the office of education minister.

The 36-year-old star took the office as a last step in a brilliant career for the telegenic protegee of President Francois Hollande.

The impressive career of Vallaud-Belkacem did not prevent the far-right magazine Minute from slashing a picture of her on the cover of its latest issue that hit newsstands on Wednesday with the caption: "A Moroccan Muslim at the national education (ministry). The Najat Vallaud-Belkacem provocation."

Earlier this year, the magazine sparked similar controversy against France's black Justice Minister Christiane Taubira.

Featuring her picture on the front-page, headlines read: "Crafty as a monkey" and "Taubira gets her banana back."

The International League against Racism and Anti-Semitism described the cover as "shameful" and said those "spreading hate" had to be stopped.

However, Vallaud-Belkacem was calm about the controversy.

"I keep away from this type of debate which is irrelevant," she told French television late Tuesday.

"However, I do think of those who are watching this spectacle" and could feel "contaminated", she added.

"In their name more than in my name, I would urge those on the right to take into account their responsibilities and to respect institutions and people," she said.
