“France has used "secularism" as a tool to bludgeon the religious rights of Muslims. Similarly, is uses "colorblindness" to inflict racism and perpetuate racial inequality across the land. Different words. Same strategy. #France”

“The proposed ‘anti-Separatism’ law in France 🇫🇷 also seeks to ban foreign flags at weddings — a measure aimed at the nation’s large and proud Algerian, Muslim and African communities.”

“The French Senate has adopted an amendment to the law on 'Repulican Values' which would ban minors from wearing religious symbols in public. If passed, it would ban Muslim girls from wearing the #hijab and Jewish boys from wearing the kippah. https://t.co/kIuc2bxLEr”

“@Educate2day941 @drloisweiner @FR_Conversation @suzrolander In this book the Minister of Interior took the example of how Napoleon treated Jews who were considered by the gvt as separatist to justify the #SeparatismLaw and the islamophobic treatment towards Muslims in France! #islamophobia #StopSeparatismLaw #StopDarmanin”
