Awakened M 3,286 Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 This is scary. France is my birth country, and every time I want to think about making plans to fly there, these sort of events happen. You French citizens/visitors please be careful, safe, and alive.. I'm not getting any sleep tonight because I woke up to a beautiful life. I'm awake. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

France is always in controversy with Islam too. technically if they have a problem with natives , honestly they should go back to their country where they can share their thoughts . if they entered france, stick with france’s law /thoughts at lest if you dont agree , its totally fine but no violence . not being racist , im just very scared lately as a french i cant even go outside nighttime thinking of getting killed ... i want to cry ... i dont kmow what i have done to deserve to feel this fear everyday and night ...

France has the strongest secular tradition in Europe, the republic was founded on "laïcité" as one of the key values. Wearing a big cross necklace as a public school teacher is forbidden. This ideas was in the fight against catholic influence on the government centuries ago. But this strong and deeply rooted quite far-reaching separation of state and church also means that politicians (a centrist like Macron, for instance) aren't scared to take on Islam from a secular perspective, i.e. headscarves are also banned for public school teachers, the government recommends public schools not to allow headscarves, and France was one of the first countries to ban burqas in public. I think that this approach of banning religious symbols causes France to have more polarization between (extreme) muslims and non-muslims than in other European countries. And when there's more polarization, inevitably more people radicalize. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes you have to accept a country culture before to join it, that's just respect. When I visit a country I adapt whatever I agree or not. It's not me telling them how to do it when their culture has to be built on generations of debate, traditions, consensus... I can't just seat on it.
