UPDATE: French police scuffle with a lady over burqa
Out of France's estimated 5 million muslims, hardly 2500 wear the full-face Islamic veil.
Yet this micro-minority alrams os much the mighty French Republic that it's politicians have united in the fight against the veil! As is usual in such cases, where many bully the few, the majority are likely to have their way.
On July 13, the National Assembly passed a draft law (335-1 vote) declaring that no one in public space can wear clothing intended to hide the face. Critics of the veil, say it is oppressive to women. But it seems approximately all of the 2500+ women who wear the veil do it voluntarily and on their own desires.
Some others have even pointed that the burqa is antithetical to the French culture! This seems very intolerant of a nation that is known for its acceptance of art and style of other cultures.
If veiled French women are forced to reveal their faces on the street, it will be a sad day for that nation in particular and Europe in general.

What is France and the Netherlands will do is sufficient evidence on the falsity of their civilization
ReplyDeleteIn our country we do not impose on the non-Muslim women wear the veil and that of our respect for the freedom of religion and traditions of other
So!!
Who is more civility and respect for other's??
Who is wearing the hijab and respect others' freedom to wear what they like
Or who is not respectful of the other differences
If they did not respect the Muslim sisters in their country
it will our right to do the same in our country, it will be imposed on all non-Muslim woman to wear the veil and Prevents appear without veil
This is what we have learned from their government
their governments are beginning repression of Muslim women
Our right to have a reaction
Respect corresponds to respect
And vice versa
I apologize for my bad English
