بلجيكا: الأمهات المسلمات ينتقدن تشويه وزير الداخلية للمسلمين

خبر من مصادر إنجليزية.

في أعقاب خطاب وزير الداخلية البلجيكي الذي تضمَّن وعيدًا لقاطني منطقة "مولينبيك" بالعاصمة "بروكسل" - حيث زعم تورُّط المسلمين بها في أعمال عنف - طالبت العديد من الأمهات المسلمات الحكومة بالحذر من تعميم الإساءة، ومن تشويه المسلمين وتجاهل حقوقهم المدنية والإنسانية.

وجاءت تلك المطالبة بعد التهديد بتنفيذ تحقيقات وعمليات تفتيش بالمنازل.

وذكرت الأمهات القاطنات بجوار مركز الأمل للأنشطة النسائية - أنَّهُنَّ دَعَوْنَ الوزير إلى الغداء سابقًا، ولكنه رفض، ونَاشَدْنَ الداخلية والمسؤولين انتقاء العبارات، وتجنُّب التعميم والإساءة؛ حتى لا تؤدي ممارستهم السلبية إلى نتائج عكسية؛ المصدر: شبكة الألوكة.

But several dozen Molenbeek mothers wrote in a recent open letter to the interior minister that sweeping generalizations about their community are unfair and counterproductive.

”We want to remind you we are responsible citizens with rights,” the mothers wrote in the letter published Thursday. They asked Jambon not to make their community “the scapegoat for everything that goes wrong in this country."

Several suspects in the Paris violence and other recent attacks in Europe are linked to Molenbeek. Abdelhamid Abaaoud, the alleged planner of the Paris attacks who was killed this week in a police raid in that city, was raised in Molenbeek.

Jambon said this week that Molenbeek is home to 85 of the 130 people who returned to Belgium after fighting for the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL). He told Belgian media that he wants local authorities in Molenbeek to conduct door-to-door checks.

"It is unacceptable that we don't know who is present on the territory", he said in an interview in Het Nieuwsblad. "There are two people registered in some apartments, but 10 who live there."

The interior minister additionally promised a more holistic approach to Molenbeek that would include a focus on better education, city planning and equal opportunities for the area’s residents.

The women who penned the letter to Jambon said in interviews that they had previously asked the minister to join them for a meal, which he refused. They hope he will change his mind. "It would send a very positive sign if he came to Molenbeek", one woman said in an interview.

The mothers are organized around Dar al Amal ("The House of Hope," in Arabic), a women’s center that provides educational and cultural activities. They declined in interviews to give their names, saying that each of them speaks for the group.
