With no offense to you (on an old thread)– the idea that “any” practice of religion, “in France,” is frowned upon– c’est pas vrai, c’est pas la meme chose duquelle nous parlons ici– for the English speaking audience, isn’t true, Paris is not all of la France, and certainly, if we’re talking about Catholicism, your assertion is contradicted on any average day, on the streets of Paris, Lyon, Marseilles, and many, many other smaller cities.

It is not just the jews that are scorned for their star of davids but even the catholics for wearing a cross or the muslim women for wearing there head covering. When you have a population of jews that seperate themselves from the mainstream culture and society and france and dress in a religious factor of course they are not liked. I agree that there is a sense of anti semetism in france but that your also dealing with a culture that is very against really any religius practice at all. Let me know what you think Sharon what you failed to mention in this article that any practice of religion in France is frowned upon. It is not just the jews that are scorned for their star of davids but even the catholics for wearing a cross or the muslim women for wearing there head covering.
