"This is not Islam!". When Ludovic-Mohamed-Zahed speaks of the Wahhabi current of the Saudis, or of the Salafist rigorism, he says out loud what many Muslims think to themselves. From Mecca to Berlin and Marseille, here is a portrait of an imam who stands out in the Muslim world.

For him, Islam is a religion of peace and has lost over the decades the tolerance that once characterized it. Ludovic-Mohamed-Zahed stands out in the Muslim world: this French-Algerian imam has a lot of diplomas and is openly gay. For the past ten years, he has also been the leader of a progressive movement described as inclusive which campaigns for an open Islam, respectful of women's rights, the LGBT+ community and for inter-religious dialogue. Little by little, his movement and those who follow him are becoming more visible, but there is still a long way ahead and many obstacles.
