He regarded the latter as being foreign acts to the Islamic values and the Algerian people. He devoted more than thirty years of his life for the safeguard of the true beliefs and values of moderations of Islam. This caused to his movement to be the target of the extremists (file:///D:/HMS/hmsalg-e/archives/archives1.htm#The party HMS as a target for terrorism and abuses from the authorities) by murdering more than 500 militants* among them his best friend Sheikh Mohamed Bouslimani.

In fact with this widened government the party has achieved one of his goals and principles : the participation of all in the building of a nation.
Sheikh Nahnah always preached to make in evidence the national interest before any other interest He always defended the idea to make a distinction between the obligation of the safeguard of the Algerian state and the opposition to the system in place.
He prefers taking part in a widened government more than to verse in a radical opposition or the withdraw from the scene. Moreover the last events showed the accuracy of his choice.
Several political works praised his political choices such as : the man of the dialogue* a step towards presidency etc. in addition to his interviews (file:///D:/HMS/hmsalg-e/actvnah/intlbci.htm)* writings and participations in several newspapers and magazines* conferences and seminars national and international such as the dialogues islamo-Christian in Italy and Sweden.
