France: No Place for Muslims?

As France reels from its second terrorist attack this year by radical Islamists, Divya Talwar investigates the impact of the events on Muslims living in the country.

As France reels from its second terrorist attack this year by radical Islamists, Divya Talwar investigates the impact of the events on Muslims living in the country. France is home to Europe's largest Muslim population and the attacks have left many feeling increasingly alienated from mainstream French society.

Divya meets the French Muslims who feel rejected and discriminated by their country, with some even hiding their Islamic identity to be safe. She hears from the far-right groups who have been galvanised by the attacks and believe it's impossible to be French and Muslim. While the government steps up its fight against so-called Islamic State militants in Syria, many say France is ignoring the real problems at home - those of integration and disenfranchisement among many Muslims.
