How hijab ban works in France?

450 viewsOther

In the winter I don’t like to wear hats. I wrap my head with a big scarf. I don’t wear it like a typical hijab, but it is similar enough. I wonder – would I be allowed to show like this in a French university or other places where hijab is not allowed? I read that hijab is forbidden as a religious symbol. But I’m just a catholic with scarf on my head.

Do you wear it as a habit?

It’s a privacy thing, you must show your eyes so facial recognition could check for terrorist backgrounds.

Seems we take freedom of religion for granted in the states, this seems like an ancient problem to have.

Pretty sure if you simply take it off and say “Oh, it’s just a scarf” then put it back on, you’ll be fine if questioned.
