from America Abroad Hosted by America Abroad

France is one of Europe's most secular countries, and it forbids the public expression of religion - because that's seen as a possible infringement on other people's rights. Reporter Cheryl Brumley looks at how recent laws passed to protect France's secular ideals are affecting its Muslim population. Image Credit: Flickr user Jeremy Dumond
