Course Correction S2: Does French secularism promote freedom or stoke Islamophobia?
Update: 2021-05-053
Description
In this episode, host Nelufar Hedayat examines France's Laïcite or "secularism" laws, which discourage religious involvement in public life.
First she speaks about experiences wearing the hijab in Western Europe with members of Collectif Les 100 Diplômées, a Belgian group that supports Muslim women. Then French lawmaker Aurore Bergé discusses why she believes that restricting where the hijab can be worn is an act of feminism. Finally, award-winning filmmaker Deeyah Khan talks about her experiences as a prominent Muslim woman, and her frustrations over regulating Muslim attire.

Feminists want secularism but when they're in a secular society (France) they want Muslims to be able to wear the hijab and burka. Complete cognitive dissonance. 🤦 The host is a Leftwing propagandist.
The cognitive dissonance in this episode is glaring! You can't claim to be a Muslim and a feminist as the first blatantly restricts women and the latter calls for absolutely no restrictions on women. France is not a Muslim country so Muslims have to adhere to their laws.
