France outlaws burkas

[Ravi]

I can understand why they did it...but are they not condemning some women to choosing between their religious beliefs and their ability to leave the house?

 

[AllieBaba]

No. It's the choice of those people to stay in the house rather than leave based upon their insane religious beliefs. Nobody is forcing them to do anything.

France obviously regrets embracing Islam. What a shame it's too late for them to undo it.

Good for france!

You leave out one option, the freedom of leaving france and moving to a muslim country.

 

[Ravi]

What if they are French citizens?

But can you still burn a book?

 

[AllieBaba]

What if they are? It's a security issue, and an oppression issue.

Life is a series of choices, some optional, some required. Choose which option best suits you out of the choices available. It's not always fair nor is it alway palatable but it's really that simple.

No problem. A Muslim is under no obligation to follow laws that restrict her freedom of religious expression.

What if they are French citizens?

They still have the freedom to move. Though i would prefer the men wearing the burkas and staying home.

France's Senate bans women from wearing the burka in public | Mail Online

Good grief. Don't make me look for a link to read the details.

It is interesting how you word that Kalam.

Now you're talking!

Seriously, though, I think this is wrong and would hate to see it happen in our country unless it was for a matter of imminent threat to keep men from pretending to be women and blowing things up...no matter what the religion.

 

[Si modo]

I disagree with this law.

 

[AllieBaba]

No problem. A Muslim is under no obligation to follow laws that restrict her freedom of religious expression.

Yet another excuse for muslims to attack and kill westerners!

Hurrah!

Alternately, another reason for Muslim men to keep their women under lock and key, and beat them for disobedience...

Double hurrah!

How so?

That thought alone would be enough to ban burkas.

And to think this is the same country that gave us the Statue of Liberty.

 

[AllieBaba]

Because you're saying Muslims don't have to obey the law.

I could post random, meaningless strings of text and you'd interpret it as "supporting terrorism." Stay crazy.

How so?

Easy. In your mind, Muslims are fully justified in doing criminal acts simply because of their religion.

Don't get me wrong, this law is unjust...very. I am stunned that is was even proposed, let alone passed. However, it is the law.

Folks can protest it with civil disobedience if they view it unjust, but they better be prepared for the consequences.
