Religiosity is increasing among young Muslims in France

According to the results of a study conducted by the International Marketing Research Group (IFOP), 87 percent of Muslims aged 15-25 in France consider themselves religious. This was reported by Zamin.uz.

The study was conducted based on a sample of 1,000 people selected from 14,200 French representatives. The report notes that religious belief is stronger among young people, with this figure reaching 30 percent among Muslims under the age of 25.

This situation shows the difference between generations rejecting secularization models. According to the study results, one in four Muslims considers themselves "very" or "extremely" religious.

Among followers of other religions, this figure is around 12 percent. According to analyses, by 2025, 38 percent of Muslims are expected to support some or all Islamic views.

For comparison, in 1998, this figure was only 19 percent. One-third of young Muslims stated that they consider the ideas of the "Muslim Brotherhood" close.

This refutes the notion that this religious-political movement belongs only to the older generation. It was also emphasized that Islamic movements in France are not uniform.

Thirty-three percent of Muslims are sympathetic to at least one Islamic movement, of which 24 percent support the "Muslim Brotherhood," 9 percent Salafism, and 8 percent Wahhabism. According to François Kraus, IFOP's director of political analysis, young Muslims show more determination and radicalism compared to the older generation.

Experts emphasize that the process of re-Islamization is ongoing in France, and there are currently no clear factors to stop this process. At the same time, the issue of Muslim integration into French society and adherence to republican values remains urgent.

In solving this problem, besides security measures, other solutions are also required.
