        Is it helpful for the president of France to troll French Muslims? Probably not. But I'm not sure there's another way to read his statement that "Laïcité never killed anyone." It seems clear he's drawing a contrast between laïcité and a particular religion

        It should be possible to do two things—to condemn the horrific attacks in France this past week in the strongest possible terms, while also viewing the French government's response as problematic and counterproductive

        The French government is increasingly stigmatizing an entire group because of the actions of individual extremists. There should be no assumption of collective guilt. The actions of terrorists should not be used to delegitimatize French Muslims. But that's what's happening

        The new Macron interview is worrying, to put it mildly. Watch it and judge for yourself. He's conflating conservative and traditionalist interpretations of Islam with terrorism and extremism. This is precisely what you *don't* do after a terrorist attack https://twitter.com/EvropeanUnion/status/1322661847233974272/video/1 …

        As @MacaesBruno correctly points out: "A family of traditionalist Muslims will feel itself the target" of Macron's commentshttps://twitter.com/MacaesBruno/status/1322684762339840001 …

        I hope this video makes clear at least one thing. Macron is not going after “Islamism.” A family of traditionalist Muslims will feel itself the target of this. You can agree, you can disagree - but it clarifies matters. https://twitter.com/EvropeanUnion/status/1322661847233974272/video/1 …

        If you're a French Muslim woman who simply wears the headscarf, then you are perceived by your own president as undermining the "values" of the Republic and violating gender equality. That has nothing to do with terrorism. This is about attacking individual religious practice

        This is chilling, so much in fact that I'm struggling to believe it's real. As part of an "anti-separatism" bill, the French government is proposing 5 years in prison for anyone who refuses to be treated by a doctor of the opposite sexhttps://twitter.com/anealla/status/1323007870942806018 …

        As part of the French government’s proposed anti-separatism bill, refusing a doctor from the opposite sex will be punished with 5 years in jail and a €75k fine, according to the interior minister https://twitter.com/PJanuel/status/1322904167497797633 …

        Good point here from @MazMHussain on how the U.S. counterterrorism model differs from that of France https://twitter.com/MazMHussain/status/1322544841637662720 …

        Here's a 3-minute video explaining the principle of laïcité in France. I'd be curious to hear why you think Macron's tweet is silly.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fx50d_aqaUo …
