PARIS - France’s lower house of parliament is voting Tuesday on a bill that would strengthen government oversight of mosques and religious schools and crack down on polygamy and forced marriage, among other measures aimed at rooting out Islamic radicalism.
The bill is part of broader French efforts to fight extremism in recent years that gained new urgency after a teacher was beheaded in October and other attacks. President Emmanuel Macron says the efforts are also needed to protect French values like gender equality and secularism from encroaching fundamentalism in some communities.
But many French Muslims say the draft law limits religious freedom and unfairly targets them, and say France already has enough laws to fight terrorist violence. Critics call the bill a political maneuver by Macron to win support from conservative and far-right voters ahead of next year’s presidential election.
The bill is expected to win approval in the National Assembly, which is dominated by Macron’s centrist party.

They state their intentions, but I’m mean, so clearly I’m trying to begin the Fourth Reich...
Lol, so true! Better dead than rude as they say.
France votes on anti-radicalism bill that pleases French citizens. How about that title?
That title would be just like Mathematics...racist.
“Critics call the bill a political maneuver by Macron to win support from conservative and far-right voters ahead of next year’s presidential election.”
So, it’s an attempt to win support from the very people the law will end up being used on. Bold strategy. The Moslems have little to worry about from this.
France is making more sense than the USA does at present.
The problem is moslems are unfected with the islam virus.
You can’t treat symptoms. You must destroy the disease.
The French need a dead white guy. Specifically the one called Voltaire.
“But many French Muslims say the draft law limits religious freedom and unfairly targets them”
Well, perhaps they’d be happier back in old Algiers.
