    PARIS: France’s National Assembly on Tuesday approved legislation designed mainly to counter a rise in Islamism in towns and cities which the government says threatens national unity. The legislation did not single out any particular religion, but it cracked down on practices such as forced marriage and virginity tests.
    It included tough measures against online apologists for acts of violence, stricter surveillance of religious associations, and tighter restrictions on educating children outside mainstream schools. Amid concerns about the funding of mosques by Turkey, Qatar or Saudi Arabia, it requires religious groups to declare large foreign donations and have their accounts certified.
    France’s Muslim population is estimated to number about five million people. The country has suffered a wave of Islamist militant attacks in recent years, and tackling religious extremism, French identity and domestic security will be big issues in next year’s election. President Macron’s centrist party rallied around the bill, with 347 lawmakers voting in favour,151 against and 65 abstaining. The text will now be submitted to the Senate, where Macron’s party does not hold a majority. The bill has been branded by some on the left as an attack on Islam and as too weak by the far-right.
