Al Jazeera English published this video item, entitled “France in Focus | The Big Picture” – below is their description.
In this episode, we examine one of France’s core principles, the French version of secularism – laicite – the separation of religion and state.
More than a century ago, laicite was meant to keep the church out of state affairs and vice versa, but now, according to critics, it is being weaponised to discriminate against certain communities, especially Muslims.
