After seventy CVs without any response, not even an invitation for an interview, Abdel* understood. Arabic name, sub-Saharan African name, black skin clearly visible in his photos, Muslim: “I had multiple disabilities,” he grumbles bitterly. The banking companies he applied to preferred to hire his classmates, who were “white, Catholic, or atheist.” So, “with regret”, at the age of 26, Abdel tried his luck in Luxembourg. “I sent three CVs… I had three final interviews,” smiles this athlete, former business school student, now financial director of a company in the Grand Duchy.
Like him, there are “tens of thousands” of French Muslims who have left France, victims of discrimination or fleeing a climate they consider hostile to Islam. This is what highlights the research book “France, you love it but you leave it”, published by Éditions du Seuil, this Friday, April 26, co-authored by Julien Talpin, Olivier Esteves and Alice Picard. The first is a researcher at the CNRS, the second is a professor at the University of Lille, a specialist in Islam, and the last is a researcher in economic and social sciences.
