Throughout history, problems between religion and state have always occurred. In France, religion influences law-making and politics. This is clearly seen in the ban on the burqa, which is contradictory as France claims to be a secular state. The French government believes that this ban strengthens its position in favor of secularism and that the ban on the full veil will eliminate a perceived social barrier between Muslims and society in general. Muslims believe that this alienates them from the social sphere and undermines their rights as French citizens. By analyzing both sides of the debate, a solution can be formulated and applied to the situation. On September 14, 2010, the French government passed a law, with surprisingly little opposition, banning the wearing of the full veil, the nijab, and the wearing of a full face veil. burqa, in public places or institutions. Then-President Nicolas Sarkozy himself lobbied for the measure, saying that imprisonment "behind a fence... is not the French Republic's idea of ​​dignity." women”. Critics accused the president of siding with the far-right with his anti-burqa comments, but polls indicate that more than 80% of voters supported the ban [Isobel Coleman, 2010]. Another reason for implementing the ban is its role as a security measure. People must now remove their scarves, veils and turbans for security checks [News.com, 2014]. The need for these security checks has increased since the recent terrorist attacks in Paris, which killed 130 people and were claimed by the Islamic State. Additionally, many Muslim leaders in France, who oppose the ban because it targets Muslim women, support the ban because it does not encourage the wearing of the veil and generally encourage women not to wear it. They see it as a bulwark against ...... middle of paper ...... issue in France, due to the massive support for secularism and the ban on the burqa by the French population. The only two solutions would be to remove the ban completely or to keep it in place. But it is very unlikely that this ban will be in force, since 80% of voters support it. Given that there are only about 2,000 Muslims who wear the veil, it would seem that this would result in the least negative reaction. Therefore, maintaining the burqa ban is the least controversial solution to this situation. The burqa ban is a perfect example of a contemporary problem between religion and state. In France, religion directly influences law-making and politics because it is a secular state. This is evident in France with the ban on the burqa which supports the hereditary belief that religion is excluded from public life and in the private sphere, but which discriminates against the fundamental rights of women and men..
