5:35 pm
sexism and tired muslim hatred before it's too late there is a lot to talk about we will be doing that with. a 1000000 welcome to the stream introduce yourself to international audience. i am not sure why my name is mark you know i work at certain national. get to have a nasa welcome back to the story with a lot of audience who you are what it is. when we say yes we want even more human rights and civil liberties activists i hate the committee for just is a leader with us for all and also host of the broadcast live radio nice to having a bat and merry and welcome to the stream introduce yourself to us i'm dr mary i'm from also on after anchor irish and a retired associate at. studies so i guess i have to tell you an audience as well we invited the minister of gender equality for france to our conversation we also
5:36 pm
asked a number of members of the national sample to join us and everybody that we talked to said they they were on a very liberal but i want to take you back to last october when president mccraw on the us about asea an exclusive interview that he specifically talked about the anti separatists bill here yes it is a bill of law to combat the violent extremist groups and individuals who are active in france in the name of islam it is designed to protect all french people and more broadly and indeed specifically those of the muslim faith. so what do we intend to do prevent them from taking children out of school the children of the republic but we also intend to put a stop to the financing linked to terrorists which enables them to pursue their activities so financial transparency and above all something which for me is essentially an affront ensuring that everyone irrespective of their faith or religion fully observes the legislation of the french republic that is essential
5:37 pm
when you heard about the bill guess i'm just going to get an instant reaction is i want to see where your minds are right now your reaction i had. i mean i think president michael has worked really hard to present a very different face to the international media then what he has domestically in france and hearing their you know talk of protecting children somehow you know stopping the funding of terrorism that has actually manifested that in the bill has been you know prohibiting essentially islamic schooling and children being. trained you know schools at home which is a fundamental right but also this idea of funding terrorism what we're actually seeing in the bill is the stopping of funding of netflix what we're talking about is international funding which has historically been one of the only means for mosques to get bill in france being stopped so you know this is
5:38 pm
a major issue we're talking about a country in which there's already a major. inequality in the levels of provisions when it comes to places of worship around 4500 mosques in france to cater to around 6000000 people comparatively speaking there are 45000 churches 40000 of those are actually funded by the state to cater for about 3200000 catholics just to give you a comparative yesterday. well it becomes unbearable it was here present law in such a comfortable manner he spoke of children being to get out of school so a deposit laws of to exclude lydia girls were discovered since 2004 when they are excluded and their community said that school is not the government cracks down on those schools and wasn't sick should them down when families can't afford private school is another homeschooling don't introduce those kids to receiving home
5:39 pm
schooling now the problem is that it may be luck or could not name one single most important is issued calling for separatism but i can tell you there with public is the one excluding the course of those ones excluded the separatists and the less profit how can we fight a separate isn't what we want what the government does not find a fight the systemic discrimination muslims group through are to walk even to access to health care i just feel that they will become a model for us i am just looking marco at how amnesty and international are viewing this anti separatist bell on my laptop fronts republican values norris discrimination which will be very brief but pick out some of the points of this bill that i'm giving as amnesty international human rights organization concern what are the problem. yes that mean actually raises many concerns in terms of you are right. clearly it was. actually very
5:40 pm
problematic nations including the uk that for example i'm laying off any organizations we. ascribe to so i would republicans on trial we obviously congress which is better. and could actually needs to restrict in i'm going to ask asians a way to restrict actually. you know very clearly we don't just pressure and. but also that organization and can actually you know it's president. you know way that is not compliance we want an honest brady was not an increase. and actually it was not things i didn't i didn't think organizational you know what i think we government part of this when she's really problematic in its creation of nation as the community it
5:41 pm
particularly. when we look at you know this context has been compiled. on demands that have context what connection i'd be able to be that has you know a lot of the same i think nation all of. this is fine but. without it i mean they should all be wet. one of things i wanted to do was just to give you a sense of the atmosphere in france i told you about these viral campaigns where well people are incensed with some of these provisions of this this antisepsis bill still a bill right now but there also is support i've seen on you tube some support well some do not even saying right now france is doing a good thing good idea good plan france this is sebastian chen you who i'm going to
5:42 pm
say is a right wing national assembly representative and as a a fair description of him this is what he said about this proposed nor. do i know that it is rather a bunch of measures that seem to us to be going in the right direction when they seem to be going in the right direction we voted for these amendments over all the text is not up to the challenge we don't want to vote against it so as not to oppose it everything that can help to fight against radical islam in our country must be implemented however small it may be and here in this case it is tiny france is a tiny not to say ridiculous. yes if this is such a division of reaction with an it is anti separatists bill and i'm just wondering does the government have advisors who are actually practicing muslims because some of these positions filled very x. dream. but you would be shocked if the most radical version of the so-called shot of the mamas of was actually written by the grand mosque of paris so that shows
5:43 pm
that even a someones to organizations are in cahoots with the government and that's why it is on the up and there was shortages of things and to stand and take back control of their organizations now listening to this person called and said must have thought a way to activists and politician he said out into this goes against radical islam when are these people going to define what a what isn't because right now we have amendments i guess hey jeff pearlman is listed mothers list in school as a must in prison for ship was to charities and even prohibiting thrilling flags in weddings if that's not a political and agnes what if war being waged against muslims specifically but illiterate it would be extended to the wider french society because of these measures to date yes there is you to implement because you can shut down was to organizations but to morrow i honestly can be should devotee of the government
5:44 pm
decides to because that would be there too subversive and too quick order of the republican this we are witnessing the don't know why but that if there was a spy would of trust towards a return to what used to go to fascism then this point if i may is that emanuel mccall and he's a minister of education and the minister of interior all again dup but in order to have luck or we elected the of the next and elections the problem is that they can aim to unite of france against an enemy with then but they are actually targeting the very front de chanst of france one just 11 sentence article one of the french constitution the republic respects religion's well as a constitution today it worries its occupation under a mighty wind a call. i'd love for you to listen to some of. that we spoke to a little bit earlier and their reaction to this separatist spell of innocent havoc
5:45 pm
on just approaches in friction a risk in people rights makes them feel more and more excluded and marginalized in a longer fever village french estates i respect you now as they can drive the fashion model who are the works in france the only doing this doing so great is the muslim woman from the public space between freedom and liberation for our believe it's clear that someone more free and another is totally drunk when she who and all the more public among them and probably making woman from want to turn for it haven't we wish it were a defense of women's rights because it's part of our work. there and what we actually have you've been saying. well look i think you raise this question of religiousness receive and i think that it's come up consistently when we've seen proposals from the government that there is clearly the kindest interpretation is a lack of religious literacy in the highest levels of the french government but you
5:46 pm
could also argue that actually historically the french government has consistently of what we did listening to and responding to the french muslim community and instead has always chosen to define an interlocutor that it could control and provide limits to what that particular association should do so for example the c.f.c. m. which is a government created body muslim body i should perk which is essentially held up as somehow being representative of the wider muslim community but has very little actual support from the wider community is just one indication of this sense that the government doesn't actually want to hear what french muslims have to say and doesn't actually in that sense have the you know in my eye in mind from my perspective there's a dereliction of duty from the government here you know these are french citizens and it is their right to practice their religion just like it is the right of every citizen within that country and from the minute the government ignores that portion
5:47 pm
of the citizenry and actually creates laws that specifically target them you know whatever it says publicly i think that's very clear to most people in fact it's probably quite clear to those who supported it's actually going against the very principles on which the republic is built and i think that's the saddest and most worrying part of this whole debacle is that muslims are on the front line when it comes to this particular bill but what we're talking about is the disintegration of the very principles on which the republic has been built town which historically am presently muslims have always supported the republic latey did they don't have a problem with that it's just the government's instrumental ization of these. concept essentially to gain more votes away from the far right in regained that cereno many many american came to power as a center candidate he's now very much flirting with the right. so mary i guess and i want to put some of these questions to me that are coming from you tube audience
5:48 pm
because they want to react and interact with you so i'm going to put this one to you mark a brief response if i can get one from emmanuelle says the government has no religion but it must control regions for the benefit of all citizens all religions must respect the laws and also respect as over legions market reacts. yes further if not up to this day to not confront and not in iran not things we're going to get to our actually we've got a map that we're going to want to dress how to dress what we're watching not where i was very very important principle the 2nd one is that we need to remember a lot actually in man's life and then in 05 when actually the law there was introduced in. this way it actually should they are away from the leaders in the should enable all everyone to practice religion. actually want a new trial it's worked actually lies their means which means that we see. a moment
5:49 pm
as i would say exactly the contrary we have seen exactly the columns in the last 20 years the french government the french authorities being parked at your progress the very restricted early just practice we've always there a discriminatory import particularly on the most. as i see you nodding your head i want to take you to take on this comment here from storyboard writing thank you for being part of the show today is that most of the legislation presented in this bill more of a response to fight snatch than these i'm an actual terrorism. what if of course it's not and start with terrorism otherwise they would have us the questions of why attacks are happening and whether to keep up an ng the 2nd question is are there reasons are we to remove to the or school. nationalism in france no of course others before a muslim separated from the process and we were top and internet in the thirty's
5:50 pm
and forty's but what we see today is we also see the quibbling regime that we call the 5th republic burr born in 1958 people think france is a republic it is not it is only a compromise between a monarchy and a republic the 958 constitution was born out of a coup to top it all to have a president called charles de gaulle and because that's where she is ideal for retiring with very few checks and balances we parliament the judiciary is not really independent because the prosecutor is nominated by the executive branch of problems on top of it we have skyrocketing inequalities a 100000 people have died in front of the 19000000 people how 4 don't look up the poverty line 300000 students are looking for like food beds because they are starving in the missile dependently the only answer of the government was a look at this predecessor to one of the wider population is a we cannot grant you a bright future but we dig we can grow into
5:51 pm
a budget or i guess your muslim neighbors i.e. the enemy within so right now the only thing governments have is an identity but it except if i may add one thing mark group well let's talk about the 1905 law we have to keep in mind that it is again said it was bad to the colonies why it 19 all 5 of their other separated church and state was never applied to god and these are it order to keep islam under control and this is exactly what's happened today the fronts of the law exists it is up red when it comes to catholics and other isn't but when it comes to the muslims they can. not a benefit of for me it's like you are in a rigged game it anytime the malignity is that you are to go to the right the digit we redid the game sure there was only games at it have you not be able to organise a surgeon the 1905 lot is not at the head with guns to muslims and that's exactly what this government is doing let me just bring everyone up to date with what is
5:52 pm
beginning to happen in france and i'm going to share this tweet with you here 2 more supreme fire bombs and vandalized in france in the past 24 hours i'm going to scoot up here this is just from the past few days which will give you an idea of why we were asking this seemingly provocative question is from it's legalizing islamophobia marco what kind of impact have you seen in terms of the way the government is dealing and talking to ms and communities and then what is happening down on the ground in terms of their safety and in terms of their security. we have often had crimes perpetrated against muslims actually as in the context of for example after violent attacks after terrorist attacks you know we always i mean we have where we've been as a french and response from the french authorities that often disproportionate response that often and bad actually as you are types against them indeed is
5:53 pm
usually associated with the hate crimes with the ta action against. the bought or stood against muslims on the street including my website that repeatedly in that context that was actually. the law by the. unfortunately what's happening is not is not you know we with the in fact in the context of the state of emergency off the power is the fact of. the government actually replying with the message and motives the measures we disproportionately measures and these actually create read if that is us but i think for a moslem community not brom. i want to talk about what will happen next because this is a bill it's not a law and even in france there are discussions about fine tuning this bill
5:54 pm
and not everybody can agree on it very a lot still tank thankfully not everybody can agree with there absolutely and i think you know those battle in my view for the very soul of france happening right now in this bill is just one example of that are you know the bill has since gone through the senate in the sun and senate it actually was hardens in other words there were additional provisions added to it which were even more worrying you know suggestions now that you would remove that welfare for students who were absentee absent from school and this is clearly aimed at the fact that you know there were no provisions for children for example to take a day off school for aid which is a big celebration we were at 10000000 people in france for whom it is as just as important as christmas is for christians all secular people and so we could now imagine that french muslims many of whom offer more impoverished communities and
5:55 pm
maybe dependent on welfare could have those welfare payments removed these a punitive measures we're seeing mothers who would be wanting to accompany their children in an active civic duty on say a school outing now being banned we've seen muslim women who would like to go you know in stay healthy when the middle of a massive health pandemic they want to go swimming no they can't now there are provisions suggesting that you wouldn't be able to wear a full length swimming suit to a swimming pool or of those very much creates a climate which i think is increasingly clear and dividing france into 2 parts and i think it's important to remember that just as there are the harder ask is very quickly with that then we'll see so quickly because i'm always is really curious and we've got here right now almost as is not quite the old is doing this to get more far right follow us is there for a too loose of the pen in the next elections that's a very swift danceable in that. i don't think he's afraid of losing to
5:56 pm
ben i think he's keen to take. some of that appends electorate and in fact he doesn't the far right have been used as a quote a sort of scare crow in french politics to say oh no you know the far right might win quick vote for us but actually what we've seen is on the left and the right there are policies that have very much in line with what the far right has been pushing for decades now they have set the agenda when it comes to the civic cohesion social cohesion and particularly when it comes to miss dems and now they are french is essentially have set the tone thank you very m i want to leave this conversation with the world the day ambassador because this conversation is about science but it does much over the insults actually explains why. with this potentially job and people all over the world are doing it really even how special in that initiatives this year through the job. in jobs where there are
5:57 pm
a lot of anonymous claims his opinion faustine in wearing a jock to stand in solidarity and some of them have been chosen to do this because their friends and i think people just hope that france will understand and will learn what it is there be any why the job is so important the job is for a good shape to worship to god the job is modesty the job is our trees and friends truth is oppression they've been did they are saving us remember question but they're not they're doing the oppressing conversation about a bill in saul's that has gone global thank you so much. for helping us understand in a much deeper way much appreciate it that move on to what we will be doing next week on the stream next week we are dedicating all of our shows to climate action and climate crisis so if you would like to be part of shows you know what you could
