IIRC, during the genocidal chaos, there was some story (urban myth?)
about one of the Rwandan thugs talking to a supportive Frenchman about
what was actually going on in Rwanda (e.g., there was a genocide occurring).
The Frenchman's advice to the killer?
"Just don't kill them on-camera."
We heard a similar report from Maronite friends in Lyons. That French secularists attitude is not unusual: so long as no one sees you or records you, do what you please.
