The French party “National Association” headed by Marine Le Pen proposed to ban Islamist ideology in the country. Interfax reports this with reference to local media.
The bill, presented by the party, provides for the prohibition of “the practice, demonstration and public dissemination of Islamist ideology” in the cinema, press, libraries and schools. The right also proposes to dissolve organizations defending this ideology and to ban the corresponding places of worship. According to the document, women in France will also be banned from wearing hijabs in public.
In October 2020, French President Emmanuel Macron promised to step up the fight against radical Islamists in the country after the murder of teacher Samuel Pati in the suburbs of Paris. According to Macron, the country has taken concrete action against associations that spread ideas of radical Islamism and destroy the country’s principles.
