Rupture-mag.fr is an online newspaper published by Rupture. It is a news and opinion media outlet that will consist mainly of written content, although a section will be dedicated to audiovisual content.
The website will focus primarily on Islamism, its ideology, its social and political excesses, and the dangers it poses to the Republic and to France. The founders of Rupture have established a code of ethics that must be strictly adhered to in the running of the media outlet and have committed themselves to refraining from the use of insults, slander and defamation. As regards the site’s content, professionalism, rigour and intellectual honesty will serve as guiding principles and will be scrupulously upheld.
We do not support any political party or any other organisation, nor do we pledge allegiance to any government.
Our cause is clear: we are fighting against Islamist ideology; at the same time, we condemn the conflation that is sometimes made between Islamism and Islam, and between Islamists and Muslims.
Karim Maloum is the founding editor of the publication Rupture. He grew up in Algeria, where he completed his entire education, from primary school right through to university, which he entered in the mid-1980s – a period that saw the rise of the most radical form of Islamism in the country.
As a journalist in Algiers in the 1990s, he witnessed the rise of Islamism, first through the ballot box, then by force of arms. In France from 1995 onwards, he met many people, including journalists, intellectuals and politicians – some of whom were members of the government, from both the left and the right – and he tried to warn them of the Islamist threat looming over France. He and others like him, who had fled the terrorism raging in Algeria, were not listened to.
Nearly thirty years have passed and, today, after several waves of attacks, France and the West remain under the Islamist threat.
