France’s Draft Law Against Islamism
On 16th December, 2020, the French cabinet presented a draft law that targets “radical Islamism” - although the word “Islamist” is not part of the text. The Bill is called as a law “to reinforce Republican principles”. It aims to reinforce the legal tools available to the government to curtail Islamist radicalism from taking hold in French society.
Reason for Introduction
- The Bill comes in the wake of a series of terror attacks in recent years.
- Although in the pipeline for some time, it is being seen as a response to the October beheading of school teacher Samuel Paty.
