The French government and the Hijab

Simon | 09.03.2004 12:31 | Education | Social Struggles | Sheffield

Public meeting on the topic of Marxism and Religion

The French governments decision to ban the Hijab has divided the left, what should socialists say about it? Is it correct as a part of the fight for secular education, or an attack on Muslims freedom of expression and religion?

Tuesday 9th 7.30pm at the Rutland Arms (Brown street)

Come and debate the ideas...
