"Mr President, France is, as everyone knows, a secular state. Secularism is an essential value for French people and it is an intrinsic part of our culture. The Islamic headscarf is a sign of oppression of women, a sign of male superiority. This is unacceptable for French people, but also for every man and woman that advocates humanism. In this House we campaign for equality between men and women. The issue of the Islamic headscarf is a complex one and we hope that some of our fellow Members will not compound this complexity with their certitudes. If they possess the truth, then good for them. As for us, we are searching for the truth, and we will make every effort to promote the secularism that is the only hope for peace between all religions."@en1
