The Take

Another Take: Muslims in France contend with a shifting center


Listen Later

Every Saturday, we revisit a story from the archives. This originally aired on March 29, 2021. None of the dates, titles, or other references from that time have been changed.

When France's President Emmanuel Macron announced a controversial bill on “Islamist separatism” in 2020, members of the country’s Muslim population worried about what would happen next. As France's politicians try to outmaneuver each other from the right, what impact will their politicking have on a community that's found itself at the heart of this debate?

In this episode: 

  • Yasser Louati (@yasserlouati), human rights and civil liberties activist at the Justice and Liberties For All Committee (@justicelibertes) and host of Le Breakdown
