Sarkozy says burqas are 'not welcome' in France

[PoliticalChic]

PARIS (AP) - President Nicolas Sarkozy lashed out Monday at the practice of wearing the Muslim burqa, insisting the full-body religious gown is a sign of the "debasement" of women and that it won't be welcome in France.
The French leader expressed support for a recent call by dozens of legislators to create a parliamentary commission to study a small but growing trend of wearing the full-body garment in France.


In the first presidential address in 136 years to a joint session of France's two houses of parliament, Sarkozy laid out his support for a ban even before the panel has been approved—braving critics who fear the issue is a marginal one and could stigmatize Muslims in France.

"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 in a speech 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."

In France, the terms "burqa" and "niqab" often are used interchangeably. The former refers to a full-body covering worn largely in Afghanistan with only a mesh screen over the eyes, whereas the latter is a full-body veil, often in black, with slits for the eyes.

Later Monday, Sarkozy was expected to host a state dinner with Sheik Hamad Bin Jassem Al Thani of Qatar. Many women in the Persian Gulf state wear Islamic head coverings in public—whether while shopping or driving cars.

France enacted a law in 2004 banning the Islamic headscarf and other conspicuous religious symbols from public schools, sparking fierce debate at home and abroad. France has Western Europe's largest Muslim population, an estimated 5 million people.

A government spokesman said Friday that it would seek to set up a parliamentary commission that could propose legislation aimed at barring Muslim women from wearing the head-to-toe gowns outside the home.

Check out my sig quoting the resident monkey for your answer.

This is wonderful news, the less hospitable the West makes it for muslims the fewer will want to move to the West, and perhaps many will return to their original shitholes. Muslim immigration worsens a society, not improves it.

This guy has always been a hardliner vs Muslims in France, not a shock he would say this.

Remember seeing a bitch in the full Muslim Monty at the Wal-Mart in Fairfax. I swear to God I almost popped a neck vein. I just wanted to knock her down and start screaming. "Take that stupid shit off!"

It's like their walking around with their middle fingers extended to everyone's face.

You need to relax a little, William.

Wearing that goofy garb is a lot more like she's walking around giving herself the finger.

What is that berka really saying?

It's saying:

"Hi, I'm a terrified religious freak (or a victim of one) who lives in constant fear either of my husband's wrath or of my own sexuality."

You cannot knock that person down because they're already knocked down the moment they don that garb.

yea, I feel the same way every time I see a fucking skinhead with nazi neck tats all pretending gay little socialist marches through my town will overturn 40 fucking years of muted white power. Maybe someone should walk behind you and tell you what you should wear to appreciate the US, eh joyce? I'm thinking a big fat black jew who can slap you around a little and keep you in line, eh?

When do you think Michelle Obama will be wearing a burqa as a token of respect? Of course, it will have to be a modified burqa so she can show off her well-toned arms. Maybe, she'll show off one arm.

would it bother you if she did? Are muslim women just not relevant until they get their cum catcher tattoo and wear whale tail thong underwear?

Muslim women are irrelevant if they want to be anonymous and hide from the world behind a veil.

i got no problem with it personally. most Muslim women are FUGLY and their faces should be covered.

Muslims are just not welcome in the West, they bring their awful, wretched closed mindset and unwillingess to accept freedom of speech, thought, or civil behavior.

Every Western country that has accepted muslims has suffered for it, check out France with whole sections populated by poor, lazy muslims who terrorize the people - even police won't enter the slums of paris. Or Norway, where the muslim facsists seek to have laws changed so that they can rape white nordic women and get away with it - simply because they are not used to seeing women in t-shirts, for instance.

Other countries like the UK that have large muslim immigration suffer as well, interestingly, the Sikhs in the UK do quite well, but the pakistani muslims do very poorly.

I just cannot think of any Western nation that has benefitted from large amounts of muslims entering their country. And noone in their right mind would ever want to move to a muslim nation shithole, so they should just stay in their own countries and fix them.

The following was interesting in the light of the recent elections in the EU:

"The shift has two principal, and related, causes. The more significant one is that over the last three decades, social-democratic Europe’s political, cultural, academic, and media elites have presided over, and vigorously defended, a vast wave of immigration from the Muslim world—the largest such influx in human history. According to Foreign Affairs, Muslims in Western Europe numbered between 15 and 20 million in 2005. One source estimates that Britain’s Muslim population rose from about 82,000 in 1961 to 553,000 in 1981 to 2 million in 2000—a demographic change roughly representative of Western Europe as a whole during that period. According to the London Times, the number of Muslims in the U.K. climbed by half a million between 2004 and 2008 alone—a rate of growth ten times that of the rest of that country’s population."


"…European cities increasingly dangerous for non-Muslims—especially women, Jews, and gays. In 2001, 65 percent of rapes in Norway were committed by what the country’s police call “non-Western” men—a category consisting overwhelmingly of Muslims, who make up just 2 percent of that country’s population. In 2005, 82 percent of crimes in Copenhagen were committed by members of immigrant groups, the majority of them Muslims. In Germany, reports Der Spiegel, “a disproportionately high percentage of women who flee to women’s shelters are Muslim”; in 2006, 56 percent of the women at Norwegian shelters were of foreign origin; Deborah Scroggins wrote in The Nation in 2005 that “Muslims make up only 5.5 percent of the Dutch population, but they account for more than half the women in battered women’s shelters.”

um, do you think I CANT find up an equivilent piece relating to the growing influence of jews in America over that of a traditionally christian set of morals and values? Hell, I could trump you on the topic of PORN ALONE. Are you as willing to support concerned christians agasint the influence of jews as you are against the influence of muslims? If not, tell me why one set of christian cultural concern is bad and the other good?

that'd be funny if I was a christian. but hey a little make up can make a catholic schoolgirl look better, where no amount of make up will make a muslim chic look good hence the head to toe costumes.

I prefer atheist girls; no sexual hang ups or desire to pump out tons of kids

I can see why I put this imbecile on ignore. Please explain to this gorilla, since I won't waste my time with it, what the difference between adults WILLINGLY participating and purchasing what some elements of society considers porn, and violence, robbery, criminality, female subjugation, rape and murder is.

Then please ask the monkey for evidence supporting its conclusion that jews have somehow "influenced" US culture. And stormfront.org is not a satisfactory evidentiary site.
