[–] SalaciousBCrumb@lemy.lol 5 points 4 months ago (1 child) The law, in its majestic equality, forbids rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal their bread. That’s what this law does, it specifically targets Muslims who need to pray during the day while pretending to be for everyone. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Bane_Killgrind@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 4 months ago In some ways it will protect Muslim children as well, not being exposed to crucifixes and requiring Catholic schools to accept Muslim students. Also, it could give the children a choice to engage in religious practices. Private religious schools should not exist at all, they are a tool for indoctrination and separating children from those with different beliefs is abusive. That said, the PQ are racists and their goal actually is to discriminate against Muslims. permalink fedilink source parent
