Ramadan at the Grand Mosque in Paris as France divides over 'separatism' law

Dozens of Muslim believers gathered in prayer at the Grand Mosque in Paris, in the fifth arrondissement of the French capital, to celebrate the start of the holy month of Ramadan. A particularly sensitive period of fasting and prayer in France this year, while the public debate is focused on the controversy and discussions on the so-called bill against separatism, which would prohibit, among other things, the wearing of headscarves, discussed in the Senate on April 13, 2021, the first day of Ramadan. "It's really a very important moment, something I've been waiting for. It's a holy month and you have to take advantage of it," explained Yassin, a young man who went to the Grand Mosque for prayer, in Paris, on April 13, 2021.
