secular country where niqab and burqa veils are banned in public<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A French administrative court has suspended the city of Grenoble&#8217;s decision to allow body-covering &#8216;burkini&#8217; bathing suits for women in municipal pools, Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin said on his Twitter feed.<\/p>\n<p>Darmanin said his ministry had filed an objection against the burkini permit in Grenoble, an ecologist-run city in the French Alps, close to Italy.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;The administrative court considers that the mayor of Grenoble, with his decision allowing burkinis in municipal pools, is seriously undermining secularism,&#8217; Darmanin said.<\/p>\n<p>The municipal council of Grenoble, following a proposal by its ecologist mayor Eric Piolle, had voted in favour of allowing the use of burkinis on May 16, sparking howls of protest from conservative and far-right politicians.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\"

discriminate against Muslim women (pro-burkini association members are seen watching council vote on May 16 in Grenoble)<\/p>\n<p>Darmanin said the court ruling was based on the 2021 &#8216;separatism&#8217; law voted during President Emmanuel Macron&#8217;s first term, which allows the suspension of measures that would &#8216;undermine secularism and the neutrality of public services.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Far-right party leader Marine Le Pen &#8211; who came second after Macron in presidential elections in April and hopes to defeat Macron&#8217;s centrist party at parliament elections in June &#8211; has said she wants to introduce a law banning burkinis in municipal pools.<\/p>\n<p>Muslim rights organisations in France have said that bans on burkinis &#8211; which leave only the face, hands and feet exposed &#8211; restrict fundamental liberties and discriminate against Muslim women.<\/p>\n<p>France, which has the largest Muslim minority in Europe, estimated at 5 million, in 2010 introduced a ban on full-face niqab and burqa veils in public.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>President Macron has since continued to implement policies designed to uphold France&#8217;s prised secular values, and has overseen the closure of numerous mosques, schools and Islamic groups with help from a special team to root out suspected breeding grounds for radicalism.<\/p>\n<p><img

width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>In the climax of France&#8217;s presidential campaign last month, centrist President Emmanuel Macron said far-right contender Marine Le Pen would trigger a civil war if she were to ban the wearing of any religious clothing in public<\/p>\n<p>But during a debate in the run up to last month&#8217;s presidential election, he said Le Pen would trigger a &#8216;civil war&#8217; by introducing even more rigid regulations were she to gain power.<\/p>\n<p>The National Assembly leader pledged to take things a step further by placing an outright ban on religious clothing in public &#8211; a law she says would be enforced like &#8216;wearing a seatbelt in a car&#8217;.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Headscarves are common apparel for many Muslim women, and Le Pen&#8217;s opposition to the garment has encapsulated what her critics say makes her dangerous to French unity and the reason why she lost the election.<\/p>\n<p>Le Pen also claimed she would slash immigration outlaw ritual slaughter, which would restrict French Muslims&#8217; and Jews&#8217; access to kosher and halal meat.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a
