Afghan Voice Agency (AVA): This is despite the fact that the Minister of the Interior of France had previously said that from September 1st, students of this country are not allowed to attend classes with Islamic clothing and Hijab.

 

Recently, "Gabriel Attal", the Minister of Education of France, has announced that from tomorrow (Friday, September 10, 2010), students will not be allowed to attend classes with Islamic clothing, which is the Hijab.

 

The decision of the Minister of Education of France, who was appointed in this position in July (last month), is an action that has brought strong criticism from the leftists and the French Muslim community.

 

Atal said that there will be a discussion with students who come to school wearing Islamic clothing and they will be explained why they are not allowed to attend French classes and schools with this type of clothing.

 

France's education minister decided on Sunday to ban the Islamic abaya in schools, claiming that the abaya contradicts France's secular laws.

 

While the number of Muslims in many European countries has been increasing, Islamophobia has also intensified in these countries in recent years. (More details)

 

Euronews reported that this news was announced after several months of discussion about wearing the abaya in French schools, and that such a restriction is applied in a situation where the use of abaya has become remarkably popular in French schools, and even this decision It has led to a political divide in this country.
