Bruno Retailleau, the French Interior Minister, has proposed extending the ban on wearing the hijab during school outings and within universities to combat what he describes as ‘Islamism by the Muslim Brotherhood.’ He asserts that the hijab represents more than just a garment, symbolizing the subjugation of women and urges legislative measures to broaden the application of France’s secularism laws. Retailleau urges prioritization of actions against Islamist extremism while clarifying that the government’s fight is against a political ideology, not against the Muslim faith itself.
