French Muslim group demands investigation into census allegedly shared with Israel

A French Muslim organization is demanding an investigation into a survey of the country's Muslim population that was allegedly shared with Israeli intelligence. The survey was reportedly commissioned by a pro-Israel lobby group, the Representative Council of Jewish Institutions of France (CRIF). One of the report's authors, Didier Meir Long, claimed that information was gathered from French intelligence and security figures and then passed to Israeli intelligence. The French Council of the Muslim Faith (CFCM) has questioned the legality of collecting data on religious affiliation and transmitting it to a foreign state. The affair has been described as "unprecedented and extremely serious," prompting calls for a transparent investigation.
