About This Document
This paper critically analyzes the issue of religious expression in France, particularly the wearing of headscarves by Muslim women, through the lens of political secularism, religion, and gender. It explores the clash between French political ideals of laïcité and freedom of religious expression, and the intersection of religion, political agendas, and gender. The paper uses the Riva Kastoryano article “French Secularism and Islam: France’s Headscarf Affair” (2006) to analyze the issue and provides individual perspectives from a female Muslim from Egypt and a female American secularist. The paper aims to provide clarity on lessons learned from this contentious issue in France in a wider framework of diversity and inclusion.
