French Senate votes to ban the hijab for Muslim girls below 18 yrs

In the paragraph, French parliamentarians voted against public wear of the hijab for children under 18. Against the ban on burkini in public swimming pools and to wear of hijab in school trips for accompanying children. On March 30th, less than a month after Swiss voters approved a ban on the burqa and niqab. The French Senate voted to prohibit anyone under the age of 18 from wearing the hijab a veil worn by Muslim girls in public places. Their proposal confirmed support for the values of the Republic by a Senate. They adopt by a senatorial majority. The votes were against the government’s stance and the National Assembly would have to affirm their statutory status.

One of the Senators from the right, Bruno Retailleau, said: The Government has backed down each time we have proposed to tighten the document, particularly in terms of veiling and ostentatious signs. The Senator adds: Stop reminding us that the veil is a garment. In French schools, the veil is also prohibited. The veil is not in line with French civility. President Emmanuel Macron said but he would not take a bill that would ban it on the highway.

France has shut down the largest anti-Islamophobia organization and the largest Muslim charity in the world:

Amnesty International Human Rights Organisation has stated that the proposed legislation will further pave the way for the country’s discriminatory policies against the Muslim minority. This new law would constitute a major assault on rights and liberties in France. 

We have witnessed the French authorities repeatedly using the ambiguous and ill-defined idea of radicalization or radical Islam. However, to excuse the imposition of policies that are lacking any factual basis which threatens to discriminate against Muslims and other minority communities in their application, Parolini said, adding that this stigma must stop. 

Public institutions should support only organizations that are signatory to a so-called republican pledge agreement’ freedom of speech and association itself,’ said Parolini. In recent months, France has shut down the largest anti-Islamophobia organization and the largest Muslim charity in the world. Paris did so after the deadly “Islamic” attacks on its territory, it said, to combat terrorism.
