From the Daily Sceptic... Matthew 24:9 is coming true: you will be hated by all nations for My name’s sake...

"Muslim candidates and elected representatives… need make no excuses for their personal faith. To criticise a Muslim, or any other minority, for the illiberal tenets of their faith would be prejudicial. But Christians? They’re fair game."
Perhaps you mean "ostentatiously." I'm for that. I used to wear a steel ring embossed with crosses---but replaced that with a tungsten wedding ring when I got married. I'm of divided mind when it comes to display. It puts me in mind of Christ's criticism of the Pharisees.
both exist in French where ostensible would mean something not as provocative as ostentatious.
That's a new one on me. I can see that "ostensible" would have a "for show" aspect, but I understood it mostly to be for the sake of a "cover story." As in, "Ostensibly, he works as a freelance writer, but in reality..." I will look it up.
Let’s see if we are dealing with faux amis:
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/ostensibly : Seemingly, apparently, on the surface.
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/ostentatious : Intended to attract notice.
So, it’s not quite the same as in French, where both words mean a different degree of showing off, whilst the English word ostensible would actually indicate it is to be seen, but not necessarily willingly.
Thanks, I learnt something today.🤓
