how did a thread about france banning the face veil ended up a thread about revolutions, turkeys future direction and dictatorship in the Middle East.

I support the ban. A burqa is not modesty (as require by the qu'ran) its fucken extreme.

By means of mental associations, one thing lead to another.  I personally don't support the burqa, but I am more opposed to government acting in this manner, and also support people being able to be anonymous in public.  Then again, this comes from an American perspective, which has a constitution insuring freedoms. 

The freedom of expression is extreme.  I once saw a guy who had cosmetic surgery (I assume he wasn't born that way) to make himself look like a devil.  That is extreme to me.  Why would I end up supporting this?


Yeah I also enjoy living in a society with extremely high freedom and I also support people's right to privacy..but in some very rare cases I am willing to sacrifice a little bit of right to freedom for  the good of society as a whole.

That devil example is also an extreme freedom of expression, but did he as a result of this expression of freedom increase the security risks for society and public. IMO no, well I hope not.
