FIRM

Forum on Islamic Radicalism and Management

ORIGIN

Political Islam is waging a war against the West and one theater of that war is the workplace.

Corporates are soft targets for terrorist attacks but aside from the threat of violence they are also easy prey for Islamists deploying nonviolent tactics in pursuit of their goals. The strategy takes the form of systematic demands for the accommodation of Islamic practices in the workplace and if such accommodations are not granted, accusations of discrimination and lawsuits against employers. 
  
To the quantifiable economic cost of enabling Islamic rituals on the job must be added the intangible cost, less easy to measure but just as serious in terms of damage caused. This is the impact on workforce cohesion, reduced socialization and the emergence of factions. As in Western society in general, there is a risk of division within the corporation and the development of parallel groups in the workforce that will ultimately fracture the organization along religious lines.

Our survey of Western corporates revealed that over 50% had to handle Islam-related workplace issues on an occasional or regular basis. The problems ranged from absenteeism for religious feasts to interference by external religious representatives, collective praying and refusal to work with a female colleague. In the USA and Europe thousands of lawsuits have been filed against employers for alleged discrimination.

While in Europe corporates are gradually overcoming a reluctance to discuss these issues out of fear of accusations of Islamophobia, in the USA the constitutional right to religious freedom has been hijacked by Islamists as an instrument to advance their agenda and stifle debate.


CONFERENCES

On 16 November 2017 at the Cercle National des Armées (Army, Navy and Air Force Officers' Club) in Paris FIRM hosted the world's most informed experts on Islamic radicalism together with senior executives from flagship corporates. They came together for the world's first conference on Islamic Radicalism in the Workplace. A wide range of topics was covered. From religious accommodation to detection of radicalization. From lethal attacks on soft targets to lawfare against employers. From micro-financing of jihad to security and protection of employees and customers.

The second FIRM conference - Political Islam in the Workplace - took place at the U.S. Capitol in Washington D.C. on 26 April 2018.

On 15 November 2018 a third conference - L'Islam politique sur le lieu de travail - was held at the Palais du Luxembourg, seat of the French Senate.

KINSHASA 2024 image
Les terres dites d’islam sont également celles de sa désintégration progressive. L’imprégnation du mode de vie occidental, pudiquement qualifiée de mondialisation, opère un assainissement du corps social marginalisant ses éléments les plus rétrogrades, en particulier les Frères musulmans.
Ses métastases s’étendent sous forme de cellules violentes, en Afrique notamment.

Paradoxalement, c’est en Occident que des activistes musulmans trouvent l’occasion de ressourcer leur prosélytisme. La multiplication de signes ostentatoires, outre le terrorisme, donne une illusion de croissance alors que ce sont les derniers soubresauts de cette idéologie à vernis religieux à condition de ne pas lui offrir de possibilité de reprendre force et vigueur.

Diverses mesures juridiques sont de nature à mettre obstacle aux tentatives de réveil. Kinshasa, au cœur de l’Afrique, sera le lieu de l’adoption de contre-mesures.



The so-called lands of Islam are also those of its gradual disintegration. The penetration of the Western way of life, prudishly described as globalisation, is sanitizing the social fabric, marginalising its most backward elements, in particular the Muslim Brotherhood, which has begun to spread elsewhere in the form of violent cells, particularly in Africa.

Paradoxically, it is in the West that Muslim activists find the opportunity to refuel their proselytism. The multiplication of ostentatious Islamic signs, in addition to terrorism, gives an illusion of expansion, though they are only the final stirrings of an ideology with a religious veneer, provided it is not given the opportunity to regain strength and vigour.

A variety of legal measures can be deployed to counter the Muslim Brotherhood strategy of revival. Kinshasa, in the heart of Africa, will be the place where these counter-measures are adopted.

L'ISLAMISME À LA CONQUÊTE DES ENTREPRISES

Ce livre est un regard sans complaisance sur l'impact de l'islam politique sur le lieu de travail. Il offre un aperçu unique des stratégies et tactiques islamistes déployées contre le monde de l'entreprise. Les auteurs révèlent comment les relations organisationnelles sont bouleversées pour renverser l'autorité de l'employeur dans une guerre menée par des réseaux bien organisés, alimentés par des ressources financières massives et utilisant notre appareil judiciaire et législatif pour faire avancer leur programme.

La poussée planifiée de pratiques religieuses islamiques a commencé dans le secteur de la construction automobile au milieu des années 1980 et aujourd’hui elle touche tous les secteurs d’activités : transports, administrations, grandes surfaces, sociétés de sécurité, milieux associatifs, syndicats, aéroport... Les lois et la jurisprudence placent l’entreprise dans une logique d'accommodement raisonnable où l’employeur doit concilier l’efficience de son organisation et les convictions religieuses de ses salariés.

Basé sur des sources documentaires, des entretiens et témoignages de cadres d’entreprises et d'analystes, implacable dans ses constatations, ce livre permet de comprendre cette inquiétante dérive et de l’enrayer.

"Un compte rendu très intéressant et important d'une tactique non violente des islamistes pour avancer un programme qui vise à transformer le lieu de travail dans les sociétés occidentales."
Joshua Sinai, Perspectives on Terrorism.

"Merci infiniment d'avoir eu la gentillesse de m'avoir fait parvenir votre livre. Chacun à notre place, nous nous devons de dénoncer et combattre l'islamisme qui menace nos sociétés."
Jacqueline Eustache-Brinio, Sénatrice, Membre et Rapporteur de la Commission d'enquête sur la radicalisation islamiste et les moyens de la combattre (2019-20).
