You know what? I’ll think about it

I’m also French and I don’t know, maybe you’re right and that’s a way to hide the real racist motives. I’m probably biased because I dislike all religions equally though

Again, this is not racism. There are white Muslims and black christians everywhere in France

You’re mistaken on the definition of racism. This has nothing to do with race and everything to do with how France deals with secularism

I think what is missing is control over the representatives. When you elect someone, you give them your power, you should be able to take it back when they abuse it.

In a representative democracy, transparency and control are key and when this is not enforced, people tend to think the system is broken and does not work. It would work if that is fixed
