Quebec Plans to Ban Public Prayer Amid Tensions Over Islamic Activism and Secularism
Quebec Premier François Legault and Secularism Minister Jean-François Roberge announced they will introduce a new law this fall to ban prayer in public spaces, citing concerns that Muslim activists' prayers are blurring the line between public devotion and protest.
Quebec's government has announced plans to introduce a new law banning prayer in public spaces, following recent incidents where Muslim activists blurred the lines between public devotion and protest. The move is part of a broader effort by Premier François Legault and Secularism Minister Jean-François Roberge to address concerns about religious freedom and public order. The law aims to prevent individuals from using prayer as a means to express dissent or promote their faith in public spaces. The measure is set to be implemented this fall, marking a bold step towards regulating the use of religion in public settings.
