Fighting "Islamist terrorism" is France's top priority, President Emmanuel Macron said Tuesday in a key foreign policy speech.

"Providing security for our citizens means that the fight against Islamist terrorism is our first priority," he told some 200 French ambassadors gathered in Paris.

Since early 2015, France has suffered a series of terror attacks that have claimed more than 230 lives. These have included the targeting of soldiers and police officers on patrol at popular tourist spots.

"There's no place for naivete, nor for fear of Islam which confuses Islamism and Islamic," he said, calling assuring the security of the French the "raison d'etre" of the country's diplomatic efforts.

Macron announced the organisation of a conference on staunching the sources of funding for terror groups, to be held in Paris in early 2018.

He also argued against taking sides in the regional power battle between Iran, a majority Shiite Muslim country, and Saudi Arabia, a Sunni power.

"Some have chosen (their camp). It's a mistake. The strength of our diplomacy is to speak to all sides," he said.

The 39-year-old leader also insisted there was "no alternative" to the 2015 nuclear deal with Iran, which has been fiercely opposed by US President Donald Trump.

"There is no alternative to the non-proliferation agenda. It enables a constructive and demanding relationship with Iran," he said.

Facing dismal approval ratings less than four months into his term, Macron was looking to burnish his foreign policy credentials with the speech, which is a fixture on France's political calendar.

France's youngest ever president has shown determination to restore what he sees as the country's declining international prestige under his predecessor, Socialist president Francois Hollande.

First start with the most ignored and important part of that is the Ghetto culture that encourages isolationism and otherization
 
They ghettoize themselves and don't want to be part of the kuffar and their culture of haram.
Ah the simplistic narratives dont we all love that i am sure that is the same reason why there are Indian regions in UK no?
Things are more complex than you think love

Indians, Jamaicans, Chinese etc all groups kind of self segregate but they don't have this hatered of western culture and liberal societies as a lot of muslims in Europe do. The more religious they (sunnis) are, the more they hate the west.

it's a sad fact, you know it too.

who said "all muslims" ?

The salafist variety do hate the west, which is why they keep running people over. It's to do with islam, which is probably the most illiberal ideology of all time. Those who take it super seriously (beyond just not eating pork or consuming alcohol) will end up being extremists. These are people who literally think women who do not cover up islam style are whores. Put this lot in France, which is almost militantly secular and socially ultra liberal, you're going to end up with shit like bataclan and charlie hebdo and nice etc.

Not even all salafists are like that most just keep their views to themselves the one,s that dont need to be dealt with a strong multi faced policy change
 
You always ask what Europe can do for immigrants, when the question should be what can immigrants do for Europe.
Who is going to frame policies that will change their countries the people from other countries or the govt of those countries?
