Dalil Boubakeur
Dalil Boubakeur (also: Dalil Bu-Bakr or Bubakir, Arabic دليل بوبكر; * November 2, 1940 in Philippeville, today Skikda in northeast Algeria ) is a high Islamic dignitary in France . He is currently (2016) Rector of the Grande Mosquée de Paris .
Life and positions
From 2003 to 2008 he was the first chairman of the Islamic umbrella organization Conseil français du culte musulman .
Along with Imam Hassen Chalghoumi in Drancy near Paris and Mufti Soheib Bencheikh from Marseille , Boubakeur is considered to be a representative of “liberal” secular Islam in Europe. He “belongs to the Euro-Muslims who not only affirm the European constitutions and the separation between religion and politics , but also have the courage to openly accept the blood massacre committed 'in the name of Islam' in Algeria, his homeland of origin, on the basis of an enlightened Islam condemn “Boubakeur has repeatedly spoken out against the full veiling of the Muslim woman and against demonstrative minarets and muezzin calls . Boubakeur demands that “Muslims must open up to European society further”.
He was threatened with death several times by Islamic extremists for his attitude. and was therefore placed under personal protection.
In 2015, he suggested on the radio that given the lack of prayer rooms for Muslims, some of France's vacant churches could be converted into mosques. The writer Denis Tillinac then published an appeal under the title Hands off my church . Bishop Michel Dubost and writer Pierre Daum were more open to Boubakeur's suggestion .
After the fire in Notre-Dame in Paris in 2019 , Dalil Boubakeur called on the Muslims of France to “take part in the fundraising campaign for the reconstruction”.
