France's legislation on hijab & halal meat | Mufti Abu Layth

people let's move on right i've been asked to also speak about uh france and recent legislations right yeah there's quite a bit of um a bit of a right wing um you know like some totalitarian almost orwellian kind of approaches that france seems to be taking um it is really uh

it is it is saddening to see this and there's two key issues come to mind very within a very short time span of one another and that is one the legislation to be i believe it's just gone through or going through about the stunning um legislating the uh enforced stunning of all um of of meat or whether it's just chicken sorry just chicken i think um and then of reason which i was shocked to read

that france has legislated that no girl under 18 can wear the hijab the head covering that's what i've read now i don't know because sometimes you know some things are misportrayed in media so you we we have to first of all see what the exact legislation is but let's go with that if if that be true that this is the exact legislation that they have put through that girls under 18 are not allowed to wear headscarves and if they wear headscarves there's some kind of a fine

and women over 18 who wear a headscarf cannot accompany children on school activities i find that really shocking and abhorrent and so in clash with the basic fundamental human rights that are a cornerstone of modern civilization honestly i find it shocking that if that be true so somebody's so i hope that isn't true i hope that this you know that there's some misrepresentation

going on in what's being said because i've seen loads of posts on social media and i just find it so shocking that that could be true but then you never know france does have a very you know it has a quite a i don't know like a frankenstein approach to religion and especially islam so

you see i've read people saying head covering now it can't be the face covering because currently everybody's wearing a mask so that would be absurd to say that they're just legislating you can't do the face covering i've read loads of posts by muslims just spamming the entire insta feed with these things of the head covering so that's what i've read i hope it isn't true if it is true you know shame on france i hope these things are overturned i'm not a fan of uh

making young girls wear a head covering um i do believe that there is an element of sexualization that is taking place there that you are saying that men should not be looking at your hair which is an element of sexualizing them now i also accept that in some cases it may not be that it may be just trying to um like a sense of culture in a sense of saying well i want you to dress how mum dresses so because

mom wears this i want so for example because mom with shalwarca means the girls were shalwarkamis so because mom was a head covering the girls were a head coach so that's a that's more an enculturation aspect but in some cases it is actually asexualization definitely that they feel that it's something which mention really you need to get into the practice of not showing men you're here which i find that sickening that when people do that and firstly there is no even proof from the quran

about this head covering to to make it such a mandated you know the way you're you're you're doing this so um yeah so even though i'm not a fan of this i mean i don't mind people doing it but you know where it's kind of like they must do it like in secondary school they will many people do kill trip their daughters or they kind of emotionally blackmail them to worry i feel that's wrong i in fact condemn that i don't mind you give them a choice but you have to be honest it is a choice

not not an emotional blackmail trip like oh you know okay you don't have to but um you know then you just disappoint me and you're like none of that stuff if it truly is a choice as in we totally you know it's totally your choice you wear it you don't wear it and that's a true choice and in that case if they chose to wear it fine you know it's their choice but to strip them off it forcibly and to to to to make it illegal that is just utterly out

of order and that is nothing sh you know that is really just an orwellian state so i harshly and strongly condemn that and if france is moving in that direction i would really advise france to to rethink you know the policy makers the legislators to rethink what they're doing because they are setting the country which hasn't you know it france does also have an amazing history as well it has a obviously a shocking history but it has some amazing um you know features to what it unfeeds to what

and accomplishments as well it's setting a state that has had a history a colorful history as well not just the bad things but good things that has been a voice piece for liberal values for freedoms for human rights as well and it's setting it on a crash course a collision course with with its own citizens because this you know it will debilitate you where it's going this is just a car crash in slow motion so yeah yazid you do in it you're doing it much

love for the super chat you're doing it seems like france always had weird relations with muslims since the middle ages yeah it is true it's kind of i don't know about the middle ages but definitely um in the during the colonial periods definitely france the age of consent is 13. i don't think that's true i don't think that's true i i believe it may be 15 but i don't think it's definitely don't think that's true but they do have you see even the uk they do have something known as a i believe it's called a romeo

juliet clause and that's in the uk as well as far as i'm aware that that's that way there's a similar age teens where they have a relationships or their boyfriend girlfriend and it gets sexual that that i believe falls it's kind of has a it derogates from the normal sexual engagement with a minor or a child and it's viewed upon differently so it's not i i believe in many cases that's not deemed in the public interest to take legal action against that

so there is a clause that's within the uk as well and i'm sure that's within most european countries as well which is different to an adult engaging with a with a child or with a young girl it's very different so this is like a boyfriend and girlfriend at school and they have relationship and then it gets sexual right okay next
