The petition, signed by dozens of academics and celebrities, appeared Sunday in the Journal de Dimanche under the title "We, French-Moslems, are ready to assume our responsibilities." In it, the co-signatories lamented the perceived weakness of the institutions of their faith communities in stopping gunnies from acting violently in Islam’s name.
The text begins by listing five recent terrorist attacks: The Charlie Hebdo

In their letter, the co-signatories called for "a clear organizational project" within French Moslem communities, which would involve "transparent and viable funding for mosques, education and salaried employment for imams, research on history, anthropology and theology that would allow and allows one to be Moslem in a non-religious republic."
It also called for "a cultural battle against radical Islam, among young and not so young, with modern methods and the most effective techniques for disseminating information and ideas."
"You’re ready to assume your responsibilities, but you are off to a bad start," Robert Ejnes, the executive director of the CRIF umbrella of French Jewish communities and organizations, wrote on Facebook, citing the omissions.
"You have a long way to go, my friends: You need to understand one day that these anti-Semitic attacks were committed against *Jews*, who were targeted for being Jewish. You can’t avoid these anti-Semitic murders," Ejnes added.
"In any case, we’ll always be here to remind you," he concluded.
CRIF has asked the authors to address the omission and have the text corrected.
