The French cabinet passed a bill to curb Islamic militancy after a series of recent attacks by extremists in France. The bill, which comes after President Emanuel Macron’s long-standing efforts to uphold secular values, will tighten the rules on homeschooling and prevent hate speech. The British media BBC reported this news.
Many critics in France and abroad have accused the government of using the law to attack religion. But Prime Minister Jean Castex called it a “protection law” that would free Muslims from militancy.
He claimed that his confession had been obtained through torture and that his confession had been obtained through torture. In support of the principles of the Republic, the law would prohibit hate speech or racist comments online and would prohibit the use of the Internet to disseminate personal information of others for malicious purposes.
The law is being seen as a response to the beheading of teacher Samuel Patty last October. Patty, 48, was killed by an assailant while showing cartoons of the Prophet (PBUH) to students. The investigation revealed that there was an online campaign against him.
The law would also impose restrictions on schools that secretly promote Islamic ideals, as well as on homeschooling.
The law will also prohibit polygamy. Applicants with more than one spouse may not reside in France. Doctors who examine girls’ virginity can be punished or fined.
New rules will come on the financial transparency of Muslim organizations and they will have to support the “values of the republic” of France to obtain funding.
The ban on wearing religious clothing in the workplace will be expanded. The ban will now apply to motorists, pools, and markets.
