520 _aThis article presents a case study of the regulation of religion as a constitutive element of certain identity claims and cultural diversity. The studied event is Bill 21 (Act respecting the laicity of the State) adopted by the Quebec government on June 16, 2019. An analysis of texts published during public discussion of the bill shows the influence of the globalized level of communication on local debates. More precisely, a discursive theme that developed at the global level since the turn of the century—that of the perceived threat posed by Muslims—inserted itself into a local public conversation begun in the 1960s about cultural and political promotion of the francophone majority in the Canadian province of Quebec. It somehow fed an interpretation of the bill as an offensive gesture against Muslims.
