105. freedom from religion.
The bill only covers "large" expressions of religious identity. Small crosses, like those worn by many catholic girls, are still permitted, as are small stars of David, which can be tucked away , so as not to offend the eyes of a secular Frenchman. Those who are most obviously targeted are the Muslim girls who wish to wear hijab, and orthodox Jews who wish to conform to their cultural identity.

In my humble opinion, these laws will only serve to further polarize and separate the factions involved, not help further inclusion.

I guess I'm just not a "moderate/liberal" enough Muslim, Subahannalah, as I don't see the wisdom in a policy of exclusion and persecution
