France: Religious Intolerant or Good Off Fashion Common Decency?

But we come to expect that from "truthers!" We are talking about the Burqa (see below) NOT the hijab! Not sure if anyone right or left can come up with a great reason to ban the hijab!

Beautiful material, though, isn't it?

They look like creatures out of a STAR WARS movie.
 
Well...if I were Queen I would outlaw burkas and Muslims in general.

I'd outlaw McDonald's so you'd be forced to shed a few. :eusa_think:
lol, I'd outlaw McD's as well, but not because I care if you are a porker. More because of the cruelty to animal aspect.

oh you LIE!

:rofl:

Shit, Ravi... we all know that the yearly monopoly game and return of the mcrib is like your winter and summer solstice, respectively!

LOL funny. But look at the burqa for a minute, can one honestly say they would wear it willingly, esp in the summer when its hot as can be? Maybe the frogs are on to something!

Once could probably say the same about crazy jewish facial hair traditions too.. Are you ready to provide evidence that no one wears a burka willingly?
 
France says no to burqas. Is France just being French or are they using common sense? I hear the left already coming to the Muslims defense!


Sarkozy: France 'Cannot Accept' Burqas - International News | News of the World | Middle East News | Europe News - FOXNews.com
PARIS — President Nicolas Sarkozy said the Muslim burqa would not be welcome in France, calling the full-body religious gown a sign of the "debasement" of women.

In the first presidential address to parliament in 136 years, Sarkozy faced critics who fear the burqa issue could stigmatize France's Muslims and said he supported banning the garment from being worn in public.

"In our country, we cannot accept that women be prisoners behind a screen, cut off from all social life, deprived of all identity," Sarkozy said to extended applause at the Chateau of Versailles, southwest of Paris.

"The burqa is not a religious sign, it's a sign of subservience, a sign of debasement — I want to say it solemnly," he said. "It will not be welcome on the territory of the French Republic."

Dozens of legislators have called for creating a commission to study a possible ban in France, where there is a small but growing trend of wearing the full-body garment despite a 2004 law forbidding it from being worn in public schools.

France has Western Europe's largest Muslim population, an estimated 5 million people, and the 2004 law sparked fierce debate both at home and abroad.
I thought the Republican position was that France is Leftist or Socialist, or is it Fascist? ... so many labels, so little time.
