Many of you may know about France's regulations on Muslim veils and other indications of other religions. To dig deeper into this topic, I have found a blog with information explaining why the French have come up with and why the European Court of Human Rights has defended this decision. In a way, France is kind of doing the opposite of Jahangir, who supported religious tolerance, in order to get the same result, which is to strengthen the unity of the population. It is quite an interesting read, and I highly suggest that all of you would take a look this.
