Paris outlaws praying in the streets

Australia doesnt have free speech enshrined in its constitution. Law, where it is not explicitly enacted, is established by individual cases creating precedent. Recently the courts in my home state upheld the right of people to pray publicly in our major mall (and thus by precedent in any public place.) The courts determined it was a form of free expression no differnt to any other and that the local council could not ban it via council by-laws, any more than they could ban a person getting up and making a public/political speech.

Im a muslim myself, it disgust me to see many people here talking bad about this situation, like islam this islam that, guys grow up, the only solution is to build a mosque.

Well said. The French government is taking this too far!

It's not a conspiracy or to provoke...when i go Friday I'm usually late and I'm always in the street outside the mosque.. And pleas don't involve Jesus its not right! Why not involve Jesus?? Your problem is you over looked this in the main arti... [More]

France is one of the worst place for muslims in Europe. I remember when I was atheist I used work in an office with a Moroccan french guy. His origins were from morocco but he was born in France. His name was Abdul Nasser, but he was known as philipe by everyone and on his documentation too. I asked why he does not go by his Muslim name and heritage, he replied, if they knew I was Muslim in France I would be treated like a second class citizen, and would lose out on educational and occupational opportunities. His mother had brought him up to not tell anyone he was Muslim (reminds me of Jews in... [More]
