Dear all,
We all know each religion has some symbols. For example, a cross for the Christian, and Hijab for Muslim Women.
This year, French government is going to ban scarves covering the face in public
The issue has aroused debate over years, but now the Constitutional Council announced that the law is contitutional.

The law is based on the principle of laïcité, which is a concept of a secular society, suggesting the absence of religious involvement in government affairs as well as absence of government involvement in religious affairs.
We will dicuss the following questions.
1.Do you have religious beliefs? (Or are you an agnostic or atheist?)
If so, why did you decide to have one and how do you benefit from it?
If not, why not and do you have any friend or relative who is a devout believer?
2. Share any experience that someone preached to you or you preached to someone.
3. The religion has been the reason of many conflicts and wars in Western history, but not in Chinese history.
What do you think the main reason is?
P.S.
If you are intereted in the scarf controversy and Laïcité in France, please refer to the following pages.
