Hassen Chelgoumi is not a common imam. He is against the burqua, against those who attack women’s rights, against extremists and fanatics whom he defines as “criminals”, against israeli’s enemies and antisemitism. All this procured him four bodyguards sent from the French Interior Ministry. Chelgoumi is ready to risk his life to defend the values of Moderate Islam and inter-religious dialogue. In contemporary multiethnical France which has been recently traumatized by episodes of antisemitism from Salafi groups linked to Al Aqmi and Al Qaeda, Chalgoumi is considered an icon, a hero and a target. On he’s account, lot’s of words have been said and written. But the imam who encounters every week the parisian rabbi in chief and goes with him to pray at the sinagogue, stays strong and seraphic. He is protected by powerful men, by the rich filmmaker Tarak Ben Ammar and the possibile future tunisian prime minister Beji Essersi, who is given as favorite for next elections. The mosque of imam Chalgoumi rises in Drancy, in the risky outskirts of Paris and it rises exactly where, during the second world war, a concentration camp was hosting deported jewish families from Paris. Hundred of thousands ended here before being sent to Auschwitz. "I can’t forger what has been done to these people" says Chalgoumi "this is why I am a friend". Near him a big man adjusts his kippah on his head and smiles: it’s one of his bodyguards, a jewish tunisian.
