France issues new set of rules for Muslim Leaders

[Former President tack50]

Judging from the snipped lfromnj has posted these seem all common sense and fairly common things in Europe (even though for American red avatars they'd be unthinkable)

A homeschool ban is a fairly common thing to do and certainly something up for debate, even if you remove the religious arguments

The ban on sharing personal information to people who will then use it to harm others seem common sense to me.

And mandatory ID numbers, while I imagine they will be unthinkable for Americans, are a fairly common thing in Europe for adults and even teenagers. Indeed I would imagine that most kids already have ID cards. So making them mandatory isn't too big of a stretch.

For example, here in Spain everyone has to get a mandatory state issued ID card and ID number from age 14 (8 digits and 1 letter). I guess France will just force people to get one of those, but from a very young age. This is something far from unheard of in Europe.

So this is to solidify an electoral advantage in an inevitable second round against Le Pen? - I'm assuming?

Or maybe it have something to do with a Islamist deciding to cut the head off a French teacher.

A little aggressive there LOL - was just wondering the political implications

I mean, if you want to go that route, I imagine these measures are, as a whole, probably above water in France. I imagine Le Pen+LR+Macron probably get a majority in support of these measures.

Though I would want to see some polling, especially when there are protests
