Which is his point. Christianity is on the decline because society has let those people assimilate on their own. They did not ban Christianity.

Once you start banning or suppressing an ideology, the people will actually strengthen their beliefs because they have no way to assimilate with their beliefs into a society anymore.

You should study up on religion and Christianity, we banned plenty of their bullshit practices. The reason Christianity is mostly mild and meek now is because we've had to push it back into a corner. It had to get rid of most of its archaic customs to survive.

Islam needs to be beaten just the same way. Making women second class citizens and forcing them to wear beekeeper suits while the man gets to run around in shorts and flip flops is demeaning and unacceptable.

By forcing Islamic women to wear bikinis and mini-skirts?

If you are against females wearing clothes because you must to see their naked bodies who is the oppressor and who is the oppressed? You are claiming to be in favor of female rights by RESTRICTING female rights to wear their desired clothes? And then claiming all women who don't adhere to your ideology are forced to wear those clothes?

Do all western women also wear clothes because society forces them to do so? Should we just ban all clothes to show how much we care about female rights?

Many people see the France as an oppressive society that degrades women and treats them as second class citizens when they force women to remove their headscarves and dresses.

Makes sense. If you really want to fight religion with regulation, ban mosques and churches, ban public religious speeches. It still won't work, but at least it's consequent with your logic.

But banning hijabs and stuff is probably not going to help anyone.
