Forums - General - So, the French law opposing ninjas goes into effect.

http://edition.cnn.com/2011/WORLD/europe/04/11/france.burqa.ban/?hpt=T1

Ok, so it is supposed to be a ban on women wearing burqa.  But that looks like Ninja head covering to me.  So, fears of the Muslim religion, and a cultural expression impacts Ninjas also.  Or, maybe Ninjas can sue in French courts to enable them to still keep their tradition head covering.  They could win and then expose the law for what is, a single-handed targeting of a fundamentalist expression of Islam, to keep them out before they blow up the Eiffel Tower or something else.

Shoot, with a number of U.N workers getting killed, because a pastor burnt the Qu'ran (despite being warned not to), maybe the French do have a reason to fear.

thats an interesting case of the separation of church and state.  Is the State protecting itself from the church/musque or is the Church/Mosque being violated by the state....

Aw France, what have you got yourself into? Extreme muslims and ninjas? You know what that means? Yeah, explosive throwing stars shooting exploding ninjas. You have pretty much set the stage for Agincourt 2.

Apparently, the French fail to see the unintended consequences of laws they pass.

By the way, google "Muslim Women" and "Ninjas" and you will see people actually asking why Muslim women dress like Ninjas.  So, YES, I am on solid ground saying this law opposes Ninjas.



Sarkozy doubles his risk for assassination, and if the French equivalent to the secret service is prepared for Jihadist terrorist attack, they'll be blindsided by the Shinobi

 

It's an interesting law because it's one of those things that can get support from both the right and left. Left likes it because it liberates Muslim women, right likes it because it imposes French values on the immigrants.

Wow. Some dumbass in Florida killed people on the other side of the planet by burning a book? That's one a hell of a trick.



When they make an article or a show about this it is always about how this law is against the muslim community ;.And then you always get this video's of Muslim women against the law..But you hardly ever see an video of the muslim women who agree with this law..And they are their.

That is like telling some dumbass to not kick a hornet's nest, but does it anyway.  And then there were consequences.

Anyhow...
