Provides the English translation of a French document that stirred international controversy with its handling of the separation of church and state in France. In particular, the main international focus of the document surrounded the decision by the French government to ban students from wearing conspicuous religious symbols in schools, especially those of the Islamic faith. In addition, the Report provides other recommendations addressing church-state relations in France, as well as how France is handling the massive immigration of Muslims, which now make up as much as 10 percent of the French population.
