François Bayrou defended his use of « Islamophobia » following the murder of a Muslim during prayer, asserting the need to confront reality. He criticized those who avoid the term, arguing that the incident clearly demonstrated hate against Islam. While many on the left now embrace the term, it remains contentious on the right, with Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau highlighting its ideological implications. Left-wing figures like Jean-Luc Mélenchon previously opposed its use, while others, like deputy Jérôme Guedj, criticized it as politically charged. The debate reflects broader tensions regarding the language surrounding religious discrimination in France.
