What could be a Muslim who wants to vote? It is not represented at all. It would be wrong to say that it is a religion that has no political consequences (…). So, in my opinion a Muslim party is an idea that is required, “he said.
“The Qur’an is better than I thought” . The writer, who said in 2001 “the most stupid religion is still Islam” ?, however, seems to have revised his judgment. “The Koran is better than I thought, now that I read it,” says Houellebecq, concluding that “the jihadists are bad Muslims.” The writer, who sees his book as “fiction”, a bit like a “thriller”, denies having wanted to publish a try. But “I do not believe that a company can hold no religion,” he says anyway. In this framework, and imagine a society in France Catholics and Muslims could reach agreement. Even see him die a philosophy of the Enlightenment, he now outdated.
“There is a destruction of the outcome philosophy of the Enlightenment, which has no meaning for anyone, or very few people. Catholicism he is doing quite well. I maintain quite positively that an agreement between Catholics and Muslims is possible, it has already seen. This can happen again, “he said in the interview .
A book that divides . For weeks, literary critics and intellectuals questioned the new French writer’s book and its final goal. New provocation? Ironic fable? First or second degree? Prediction which would threaten France? For the philosopher Alain Finkielkraut, Houellebecq “his eyes open and do not be intimidated by political correctness.” Point of view is not shared by everyone. This novel “will remain as a landmark in the history of ideas, which will mark the emergence -or the Return- theses of the extreme right in the high literature” it “knights ideas of the FN, or those of Eric Zemmour, in the heart of the intellectual elite, “wrote Saturday as the director of Libération, Laurent Joffrin.

The new head of state, Mohammed Ben Abbes, appoint Bayrou prime minister. This is a political implosion without revolution, apparently accepted by the majority.

” I tried to put myself in the place of a Muslim, and I’ve realized that they were actually in a completely schizophrenic situation. “
” What could be a Muslim who wants to vote? It is not represented at all. It would be wrong to say that it is a religion that has no political consequences (…). So, in my opinion a Muslim party is an idea that is required, “he Assen .
Having long lived in Ireland, Houellebecq said he was struck “huge changes” in France and West. “It’s one of the reasons that led me to write” this book. But above all, “I had the impression of being an atheist and there I really do not know.”
At first, he says, “the title was Conversion “. The narrator, a specialist university teacher Huysmans who converts to Islam to keep his job and the erotic appeal of polygamy, “was converted to Catholicism.”
” The Qur’an is better than I thought, now that I read “ adds Houellebecq, concluding that ” jihadists are bad Muslims. “
“I’m not an intellectual. I’m not taking sides. I am not defending any regime,” he said again, saying that “Islamophobia is not a kind of racism.”

Having long lived in Ireland, Houellebecq said he was struck “huge changes” recorded in France and the West. “It’s one of the reasons that led me to write” this book, he explains further.
This book is a satire? I Do Not. Partially, it is a satire of political journalists at most, a little bit of politicians also really. The main characters, no. “But Houellebecq acknowledges play on fear. “I use the fact of fear. In fact, we do not know well what we are afraid, if identity or Muslims. Everything remains in the shadows. “
” I tried to put myself in the place of a Muslim, and I realized that they were actually in a totally schizophrenic position ” Houellebecq continues. “What could be a Muslim who wants to vote? It is not represented at all. It would be wrong to say that it is a religion that has no political consequences (…). So, in my opinion a Muslim party is an idea that is needed, “he says.
In 2001, with the release of his novel Platform is remembered interrogates the magazine Read , Houellebecq had said: “The religion most con is still Islam. When you read the Quran, it collapsed … collapsed! “The controversy was so inflamed. Le Figaro , the author reiterated his words: “Reading the Quran is a disgusting thing. When Islam was born, it is distinguished by its desire to submit the world. His nature is to be submitted. It is a warlike religion, intolerant, which makes people unhappy. “
Fourteen years later, the word submission has become the title of the new novel by Michel Houellebecq, who as usual been much ink even before its release.

The economist Thomas Piketty broke Thursday 1 st January the routine of traditional promotion beginning of the year the Legion of Honour by refusing his appointment as a knight, saying not “The role of a government to decide who is honorable” .
A refusal by no means new, has again placed the institution Bicentennial under the spotlight … and questions
Read the summary. Modiano, and Tirole Mimie Mathy in promoting the Legion of Honor
No, as already explained Rue89 in 2009: it is impossible to be a candidate for a degree of the Legion of Honour. This is a third party who must provide your name.
Or a minister, which usually receives proposals prefects, elected or associations (this is the case for Thomas Piketty, whose name was proposed by Geneviève Fioraso, Secretary of State for Higher Education and Research)
Either 50 citizens, through the citizens’ initiative procedure introduced in 2008
Through these procedures, nearly 4000 cases are made each year and then reviewed by the Council of the Order of the Legion of Honour, which then selects some 3000 winners before the final approval of the president, who signed the decrees of his hand.
Join the discussion: Should we necessarily accept the Legion of Honor
2 . Can we refuse?
Yes. In general, to avoid a diplomatic incident, decorated potentials are notified in advance. This was not the case for Thomas Piketty, which has not been notified, as indicated by the rue de Grenelle. Its name therefore appears in the decrees published the 1 st January Official Journal

3 . By what criteria can we get it?
The Order of the Legion says in its code that the reward decoration “eminent merits acquired in service of the nation either civil basis or under arms “, recognizing that there is no strict definition or exhaustive list of such merits. “This is the Bar Council’s mission to judge, from career elements given to him by law and jurisprudence” , says the institution.
To be decorated, it is better in any case have French nationality (foreigners can be distinguished if they have rendered service to France or hold important positions, but are not full members of the institution), accumulate at least twenty years of activity (except in exceptional cases, such as sports or military exploit), have a clean criminal record and “good moral character” (an investigation is being conducted on this plan before each assignment).
Contrary to popular belief, there is less of Legionnaires before. Created by Napoleon in 1802, the Order has seen the number of its members explode with the great military conflicts of the XX th century. It has experienced up to 300 000 members in 1962. As told the magazine in 2012 Charles de Gaulle then decided to take action to prevent the decoration is hackneyed. A quota of 125 000 live legionnaires is then fixed and a new design (the National Order of Merit) is created as a consolation prize.
The number of legionnaires life is nearly stable for ten years: it now is around 92,000
4 .. What advantages does it give?
First, one can of course be decorating the red ribbon in his buttonhole, like 92,000 other decorated and reveal his rank after signing in official papers.
Then you can join the company of the members of the Legion of Honour, a network of 55 000 members that provides mission is “to contribute prestige of the National Order of the Legion of Honour and contribute to the promotion of the values and culture of France in the country and abroad “.
Unlike some rumors, the Legion of Honour does not make money, instead. As Francetvinfo recalls decorated must pay since 2003 Chancery Rights (20.28 euros for a simple knight to 101.38 euros for the Grand Cross) for the shipment of their degree. They must also buy their decoration from a specialist jeweler or coin Paris (75 euros for the reduced model, 180 euros for the standard design and up to 990 euros for the Grand Cross of plate).
What quickly engulf the lean treatment offered by the institution to its members. The “History symbolic heritage sum” – from 6.10 euros a year for the knights and 36.59 euros for the Grand Cross – is often not even claimed by the embellished ( or donated to support the company of members of the Legion of Honour, to help the legionaries in need, says Express ).
Enter the family the Legion of Honour also opens right to your female descendants (to the rear granddaughters) of APPLY in prestigious educational institution houses: Saint-Germain-en-Laye (Yvelines) for college and Saint-Denis (Seine-Saint-Denis) for high school and post-bac (BTS and preparatory classes). But acceptance is not automatic: in 2011, only 55 seats were available at the high school in Saint-Denis, nearly 400 applications, as reported in The Etudiant.fr
But. it is strictly forbidden to members of your entourage to display your five-pointed star: the illegal port decoration is punishable by one year imprisonment and 15,000 euros fine
Yes.. A legionnaire can be stripped of his decoration in case of a criminal conviction, forfeiture of French nationality or if “committed acts contrary to honor or likely to harm the interests of France” .
This is what happened to Maurice Papon, deposed in 1999 of the Commander Order of the Legion of Honour after his final conviction for a crime against humanity, because of his involvement in the deportation of Jews under the Vichy regime. Despite protests, the former minister, however, continued to wear the decoration in his button down to his last home, as he was buried with his Legion of Honour.
This type of measurement is extremely rare. The last date of January 2013, when François Hollande has decided to exclude the order Jean-François Collin, a former member of the Organization of the Secret Army (OAS), decorated with two years earlier as a disabled war veteran in Algeria.

In announcing he refused the Legion of Honour, for which his appointment as Knight had been proposed by the Secretary of State for Higher Education and Research, Geneviève Fioraso, Thomas Piketty is now causing a controversy stirred government.
On France Info Stépahne Le Foll, spokesman of the government, tried to deny the controversy by saying that “it’s her choice. He tries to give some advice, that’s part of the debate. I’ll leave it at that, “

This does not have prevent scratching economist emphasizing the difference between a scientist “who has interesting ideas but a researcher who is in his office, making calculations, which has a responsibility and an intellectual approach and the policy that is confronted with the reality. ”
A thinly veiled reference to what Thomas Piketty, which, for its refusal felt that it was not a government “to decide who is honorable” and above said “they would do well to focus on reviving growth in France and Europe.
A refusal is not motivated by humility for Thierry Mandon
For its part, on BFM TV, the Secretary of State for State Reform and Simplification, Thierry Mandon, regretted the refusal of Thomas Piketty and criticized the economist on these ideas, particularly in terms of tax reform.
“This reform is so complicated, it is so comprehensive, it has such effects redistribution between the French that if we did, there would be a widespread protest,” said -t he said
.
“The Legion of Honour distinguished national merit, that is to say, those of you who have contributed their civilian or military action at the national merit (…) It is the role of government and the Republic of deciding those deserving, “said Thierry mandon.
Before estimating that in the end this refusal was not motivated by humility. “There are two reasons for refusal two generally”, analyzed Thierry Mandon “humility, because we consider that others have earned more” or “a political reason.” “Thomas Piketty, I do not think that’s the first reason,” he slipped.
“You can refuse without necessarily saying in a dispatch “
As for the Secretary of State for the Digital Axelle Lemaire criticized the decision on the shape of Thomas Piketty” The decision is his. Following is the way to do it. We may refuse without necessarily saying in an AFP dispatch a January 1, “she said on France Inter.
” Maybe it confuses the fact that a Legion of Honour is a reward for merit which is recognized by the nation and not a membership to an economic policy of a government. “
A” poor “decision, Elie Cohen
Outside the government, critics are also needed . And certainly the most virulent from another economist. On Europe 1, Elie Cohen who initially felt that his colleague had “earned this Legion of honor outstanding contributions to academic work and world famous so he shines the French colors around the world. This imposes special responsibilities “.
He then slammed the way the decoration was denied. “He could have refused on principle, but denied making a critique of government action, I found it mediocre.”
These acts are extremely rare but a strong importance, informed the management. The news was unveiled today at the AFP, but on Tuesday, the famous Versailles filed a complaint after the discovery of two bases of broken marble busts in the park Grand Trianon. According to a police source, we strongly suspect a malicious act.
The vandalism allegedly perpetrated on pedestals supporting “two marble busts of ancient inspiration, an unknown sculptor, and dated of the late seventeenth and early eighteenth century, “said a spokesman of Versailles, adding that these busts were under the covers to protect them from the cold. The busts in question were not damaged but “have nevertheless been transferred to our restoration workshops for further examination,” he added.
A very rare incident
With 10 million visitors a year, acts of vandalism are extremely rare in the Château de Versailles. Yet this is the track that is favored by investigators for damages of this magnitude. The investigation was turned over to the police of Versailles. Listed as a World Heritage Site, the area includes the Castle of Versailles, the Grand Trianon, Petit Trianon and gardens. The castle alone attracted 7.5 million tourists in 2013.
