I agree with Angela to a certain extent on the issue,
"Everyone has the freedom to assemble and express. These are the unalienable rights every human being deserves on this world."
I agree that everyone has the right of freedom to assemble and express themselves and what they believe in. Yet, I do not believe that the ban on public prayers was unreasonable. I know it seems like Muslim followers are being treated unfair and are being deprived of their personal freedoms, but that is not entirely the case. I feel that public prayer may be intrusive to the lives of others on the streets. The public prayer can be disruptive to people on the streets either in relation to foot traffic, or driving, people out dining, or any other events that occur on the streets. I do not see why people have to have service on the streets when there is plenty of room available for them in a more appropriate intimate place. France is not taking people's rights away to pray or to worship. In fact, weren't they given a space to fit thousands of worshipers? People's rights to freedom are permitted just as long as it does not interfere or disrupt the lives of others. The French Government has to make decisions that will benefit the will of the masses, not just those of a limited group. The ban on public prayer is only trying to balance the rights of people in the community. Everyone's rights and wishes have to be taken into consideration.
