    What you say sounds brutal to me. The solution would be bridging the gap between theory and practice.

      What about my statement is brutal? It’s not the law at fault, the law is impartial about all religious symbols. The problem is the lack of equal enforcement. Which is essentially what you’re saying in different words

        My brother in nothing, enforcement is part of the law.

        If you know a law will be applied unequally, don’t pass the damm law.

          ? The law has been around a century, current controversy is that it’s not being applied equally

            Right, so maybe if it’s now being applied in a discriminatory fashion, it’s now due for a change? My point is that enforcement of the law cannot be considered separate from the law. A law that cannot be enforced does nothing, and a law that creates discrimination in enforcement is a discriminatory law.

              Why would we discuss changing the law, rather than ensuring that it is applied indiscriminately? ANY law and punishment can be used to discriminate, and many are. By your logic if the police started prosecuting murderers in a biased manner, we should remove the law against murder.

        I’ve never heard of a “gentle enforcement of the law”?

        Also, law enforcement often comes from the police. France is no exception to police brutality.

        So it looks like we both agree on the principle, but we have very different ways of approaching a solution.

          Seems like I’m being attacked for something I didn’t say. My statement was purely a very minor thing, about how the issue is enforcement, not the actual law. And I certainly did not imply anything with it, but it seems a lot is being read into those few words that were not at all intended

            I suppose if you feel this way, we better leave it here for today. Maybe if you take a look at this interaction of ours tomorrow, you will have a different point of view? At least I hope so.
