Members of the French parliament voted 335-1 in favour of the burka ban. Also out of those 336 members, 4 are Muslims. So, it would appear, that some Muslims are oppose to the Burka.

When in Rome....do as the Romans do. It is up to the minority of Muslims to adjust to France rather than France adjust to a minority of Muslims.


Dude.. there are 577 members... 241 members refused vote...

Lets imagine that ALL those 241 happened vote against. That would still result in defeat. News just coming in...

You missed something from the quote "but it has expressed concern that the law will stigmatise Muslims in general"

isn't a bit paradoxal by upholding the European values of liberalism and tolerance by restricting the right of women to choose to dress as they wish, in accordance with their beliefs? with this law they create a bigger problem then there is..

I think their are way bigger problems than this for the muslims;..As an Dutch citizen you should be familiar with one of them...'Geert Wilders'

Quoting Geert Wilders really doesn't do you any favours.

First off, this blatantly isn't about public safety, the burka has been singly pointed out. It's obviously targeting muslims.

I agree with Sarkozy when he says "The veil hurts the dignity of women", but in that case don't ban the burka. All that does is take away a woman's right to wear the religious clothing of her choice... But that's exactly the point, her choice.

Many Muslim women don't have the choice, they are forced to wear the burka by male relatives or husband. If you want to ban something, then ban people from forcing others to wear religious clothing.

Forcing women to not wear the burka would be just as bad as those forcing those same women to wear the burka.

Not sure my idea would have much effect though.

How are you going to find those? if the women already wear an burka because they have to I doubt they go to police and complain about it;.

also, are they going to ban Nuns from wearing their dress? no, of course not, because nuns are normally white christians.


and of course the nuns habit doesnt cover their face.  your attempt to bring race into this is just sad on your part.


you cant see their hair...and some of them wear them in way that makes it very hard to see their faces.
