Guylain Chevrier is a doctor in history, trainer, teacher and consultant. He was a member of the secularism mission of the High Council for Integration.
A new controversy was triggered by the rapper Médine, who, during a concert in Agen, offered piñatas to his audience bearing the image of elected officials RN and Reconquête.
The piñata is a papier-mâché or cardboard object and the object of the game is to hit it with a stick until it breaks, to release “surprises” inside.
The rapper intended to respond to two elected RN from New Aquitaine as well as an elected member of the Reconquest party, who had opposed his coming to the Florida room in Agen, subsidized by the state.
We know his provocations often targeting everything that is not in his radical vision of "Muslim", in priority secularism and the Republic.
Already, at the beginning of the month, the LR mayor of Lavaur, Bernard Carayon, and the RN deputy of Tarn,
Frédéric Cabrolier, had opposed the coming of Medina to Albi, who had responded by posting a video of him on his social networks, throwing darts at photos of the two elected officials, who announced that they were filing a complaint.
One can sometimes be surprised at the tone that prevails on what is happening here in certain media, suggesting that it would be a simple settling of scores between "extreme".
We must question ourselves on the use that can be made of these provocations and to what extent they can be tolerated.
It is about the Republic itself, and what we hear it happening.

Would everything be authorized as soon as one sings about the evils of society, and particularly when one claims to denounce anti-Muslim “racism”?
Should we allow this drift to continue until we see, as in the United States, rap becoming a place of calls for murder, with the rise of violent groups in the demonstrations and beyond?
Without forgetting a context of identity claims marked by a conservative Islam, which intends to impose its religious standards on the Republic.
In his album "Don't Laïk" in 2015, we could indeed appreciate a rhetoric that has nothing to envy to that of the Islamists:
"I wear a beard, I'm in a bad mood.
Wear the veil, you're in trouble.
Let us crucify the secularists as in Golgotha”
Guylain Chevrier
In 2005, he released an album
Jihad, the greatest fight is against oneself
.
But on the cover, the letter "J" is formed by a sword... In 2009, he took part in the conference of the Party of the Indigenous Peoples of the Republic (PIR), on "Islam at the service of citizens", with a selfie at the key with its leader, Houria Bouteldja, with assumed homophobic and anti-Semitic semantics.
In 2013, he hosted an evening for the association "Havre du savoir", supposed to work to
"promote Islam and its values of openness and tolerance..."
In reality, this small group from Le Havre is
"in the current of thought of the Muslim Brotherhood”
, says researcher Romain Caillet, interviewed by CheckNews.
On its site, the association shares, for example, a forum defending the presumption of innocence for the jihadist Mohamed Merah or even fatwas signed by Youssef al Quaradawi, one of the worst Muslim preachers who condemns the separation of the State from religion, justifies anti-Semitism and the violence of a husband against his wife, the death penalty for homosexuals or even trivializes excision.
Médine says he only went there for
"his commitments as an artist"
... In his album "Don't Laïk", released in 2015, a week before the
Charlie Hebdo
massacre .
We could indeed appreciate a rhetoric that has nothing to envy to that of the Islamists:
“I wear a beard, I'm in a bad mood.
Wear the veil, you're in trouble.
Let's crucify the laity as in Golgotha"
, the words sticking to a bust of Marianne with a blue, white, red background, then veiled women in niqab follow a book with the inscription "Noble coran", and more beautiful words ,
"Go ahead Youss, throw the ticket, I put fatwas on the heads of idiots"
,
"on Women's Day I wear a burkini, Islamo-scum is the call of the muezzin"
.

Following his complaint against Nicolas Bay (June 2021) who had designated him as an “Islamist rapper”, an approach also targeting Aurore Bergé, Médine explained that he wanted to do “especially
jurisprudence”
to defend all those who are
“insulted by Islamists or Islamo-leftists”
.
The Islamologist Tariq Ramadan, close to the Muslim Brotherhood, accused by his detractors of being a follower of double talk, makes no secret of his very good relations with the rapper: "Medina is
someone I know personally and very very close, who follows my teachings and with whom we discussed a lot»
... It will be recalled that Tariq Ramadan, by taking the limelight at the European Social Forum in 2003 at the heart of the anti-globalization movement, according to a desire to bring the Brotherhood movement closer to the current of the European left, shattered it, indicating how Islamo-leftism has nothing of a fantasy, any more than Islamism.
After his last provocation, the rapper heard to justify himself, that
"Violence is on their side"

.
"I am always attributed a closeness to the Islamist milieu because I participated in conferences where these people were programmed
", he answers on the Mouv, ensuring that it is
"once again (... ) to try to discredit and disqualify any Muslim person who speaks in public debate and to criminalize them”.
There is really nothing to suggest, following his journey and the lyrics of his songs, obviously something else... there not the limits to go as far as possible in incitement to hatred and violence against the Republic?
A method which, seemingly, participates in an excessive victimization of Muslims, likely to feed a politico-religious project of all dangers.

In another style, Gims, who had previously called on his fans not to wish him a "Happy New Year", incompatible according to him with a good practice of Islam, has just distinguished himself in the genre, "there is no has more limits.
In an interview for the program "
Oui Hustle
", broadcast on March 28 on YouTube, the artist explains:
"The pyramids that we see, at the top there is gold, and gold is the best conductor for electricity… They were bloody antennas!
People had electricity and historians know it
,” he says.
This “dangerous” but far from new theory has been spreading “for years”, indicates Tristan Mendès France, essayist and associate lecturer at the University of Paris-Cité.
“Africa populated Europe before the Europeans (…) They were decimated by the real Europeans who came from Asia.”
"Gims takes up this idea that the West would have disguised history and crushed Africa by deliberately trying to hide its greatness."
, a theory
“nourished by a feeling of colonial history”
, explains the essayist.
A vision that flirts with conspiracy.
We can only be concerned about these remarks echoing a recent survey by Ifop for the Jean Jaurès Foundation among young people,
"aiming to measure their porosity to scientific untruths with regard to their use of social networks"
, according to which the theory of the flat earth appeals to one in six young people (46%) among those who call themselves Muslims.
From the rejection of the Medina method to the revisionist theories of Gims, the same fight against obscurantism.
