Secularism row brews in Paris
Print Edition
The firm operating the Paris subway has come under fire for apparently pushing France鈥檚 beloved secularity too far with its refusal to display an ad with the mention 鈥淐hristians of the East.鈥
French music group 鈥淭he Priests鈥 had planned to advertise its June concert in Paris with a poster sporting a banner that said proceeds would go toward the cause of Christians persecuted in places such as Iraq and Syria.
But the state-owned RATP firm that operates the subway and its advertising agency Metrobus ordered the group鈥檚 producers to take off the banner, pointing in a statement issued last week to the public service鈥檚 requirement for neutrality 鈥渋n the context of an armed conflict abroad.鈥
France is a secular country where the state and religion are strictly separated.
