    I don’t get this part, especially when it is mentinned a few lines before :

    ​

    >The draft urged member states to “criminalise all forms of discrimination based on actual or alleged ethnic origin or **religious beliefs**”.

  2. >”The Salafis, on the contrary, reject any special devotion for the Prophet and do not stress the blasphemy dimension,” Roy told this website.

    Yeah sure. What a load of bullshit.

  3. Too many politicians prefer to avoid the subject because they don’t know how to handle it.

    That’s something I like about Macron, he is not afraid of speaking about it.
