The association was founded in 1981 by the writer [[Roger Ikor]], winner of the [[Prix Goncourt]] in 1955, after the [[suicide]] of his son, a follower of Zen [[macrobiotic]]. |

The CCMM was chaired from 1997 to 1998 by the [[Socialist]] deputy [[Alain Vivien]]. Before resigning to become president of the Interministerial Mission for the Fight against Sects ([[Mission interministérielle de lutte contre les sectes|MILS]]), he hired his wife as executive director.<ref>{{cite journal |title=Pourquoi la bataille anti-sectes a échoué? |url=http://www.prevensectes.com/rev0208.htm#22b |journal=VSD |first=Thomas |last=Lardeur |date=22-28 August 2002 |language=French |accessdate=12 August 2010}}</ref> |

Patricia Vivien had an important role in the CCMM, and eventually had more power than the president himself,<ref name="Le Point">{{cite journal |title=Sectes, les pourfendeurs se déchirent |url=http://www.lepoint.fr/archives/article.php/57982 |journal=[[Le Point]] |date=19 January 2009 |language=French |accessdate=12 August 2010}}</ref> which raised problems within the association. Members and leaders resigned including the president, JP Bousquet, who eventually brought the case to court. The CCMM was then placed under judicial supervision, from June to October 2001, to let the time to elect a new president. |

Daniel Groscolas became president, then was replaced in 2008 by Jacques Miquel. |

The writings of CCMM are a source of information for organizations such as the [[MIVILUDES]].<ref>{{cite web |title=Rapport au Premier ministre — Les dérives sectaires — Année 2003 — Mission interministérielle de vigilance et de lutte contre les dérives sectaires - MIVILUDES - |url=http://www.miviludes.com/IMG/pdf/Rapport_MIVILUDES_2003-5.pdf |publisher=[[MIVILUDES]] |page=40 |format=pdf |language=French |accessdate=12 August 2010}}</ref> |

The CCMM was sometimes criticized, notably because of financial disclosure and the important role of Mrs Viven when her husband was president of the MIVLUDES, which led to a collusion between both associations.<ref name="Le Point"/> Priest [[Jean Vernette]] also criticized the association for the publication of its book entitled ''Dictionnaire des sectes'' which contains a list of cults, including some [[Roman Catholic]] groups.<ref>{{cite web |title=La lutte anti-secte pourrait conduire à imposer un "religieusement correct" |url=http://www.libertepolitique.com/vie-de-leglise/1052-la-lutte-anti-secte-pourrait-conduire-a-imposer-un-q-religieusement-correct-q |publisher=Liberté politique |date=21 February 2001 |language=French |accessdate=12 August 2010}}</ref> |

Christianity and Islam share a historical and traditional connection. The two faiths share a common origin in the Middle East and Muslims consider Christians (and Jews) to be People of the Book. Belief in the Injil (the original Gospel of Jesus) is an important part of Islamic theology, although Muslims view the current Gospels as altered. The bond extends even further, with the Islamic Prophet Muhammad instructing Muslims to defend the Christian faith from aggressors after treaties of peace have been signed, such as in the document called the Achtiname of Muhammad. Islam and Christianity share the twin commandments of the paramount importance of loving God and loving one's neighbor, although the interpretations of these statements differ between the two traditions, and, indeed, vary between all three Abrahamic religions.
Despite the similarities between the two faiths there are some major theological differences. Islam denies that God is a Trinity and consider this division of God's Oneness to be a grave sin. Muslims see Jesus as the last prophet sent to the Children of Israel and the Messiah (Masih) miraculously born of the Virgin Mary (Maryam), but do not believe that he is the Son of God or divine.
