| Why France is banning Muslim prayer on the country's streets |
| 2017-11-21 |
| [Newsweek] On November 10, Muslims laid their prayer mats on a road in the northern Parisian suburb of Clichy-la-Garenne. They were met with a banner held aloft by local politicians, led by right-wing Mayor Remi Muzeau, which read: "Stop illegal prayers in the streets." For eight months, hundreds of Muslims have gathered in front of the town hall every Friday to worship. Now, French lawmakers have pledged to put an end to the public worship sessions, not only in the suburb, but elsewhere in the country. "They will not have prayers on the street, we will prevent street praying," Interior Minister Gerard Collomb told Questions Politics on Sunday. |

| #6 Flamethrowers would be my choice. Nothing says disapproval like spraying someone with flame, then watching them rush about til they fall over as a charcoal briquette. |
