 | | In the Paris and Alsace areas, the two strongholds of Turkish immigration, the Milli Görus movement, which is close to the Islamic party now in power in Ankara, is also active under the name Tendance nationale-Union islamique en France, or in Turkish, Islam Toplumu Milli Görus (TNUIF). |
 | | They operate under the name Association des Projets de Bienfaisance Islamique en France (APBIF), under the guidance of Lebanese Shaykh Khaled El Zant, based in Montpellier, who became famous during the Gulf War in 1990 by his inflammatory speeches calling for the extinction of the state of Israel. |
 | | The moderate Turkish mosques, which are a majority, are under the supervision of the Union turco-islamique d’affaires théologiques en France (DITIB), a registered association which is under strict control of the Embassy of Turkey, and promotes a secular Islam. |
