You find a burqa offensive and confrontational? It is the opposite. It is submissive. If the Muslims or someone else got all offended over something you did, would that justify banning your actions? Surely it is the nature of the actions themselves, not an offense that is entirely down to interpretation that should dictate whether a person's freedom is denied? It does not actually impose on you or the French in any way for these women to be able to choose what to wear. It is a classic example of pure reactionism winning out over liberty.

if you an employer .. would you hire someone with Ninja uniform to work for you ?? .. so they kept on relying on welfare .. the point is if they cut all their welfare .. they are entitle to wear anythings they wanted ..

I didnt think there was anything ambiguous , controversial or debateable in that "master" comment.

Of course that's an apt analogy of what's going on in households where the burka is de rigueur .




And there is such a thing as battered wife syndrome , or stockholm syndrome where "walking away" isnt an option .

there is  no defence against the indefensible.

Two women wearing burqas have been arrested by French police just hours after the Republic became the first country in the world to enact laws banning wearing the Islamic veil in public.

The women, part of a small group protesting against the new law in front of Notre Dame Cathedral in central Paris, could face fines of €150 and be forced to attend 'citizenship lessons' - although it now appears likely they will be cautioned because the demonstration was not authorised.

The French ban on face veils began yesterday and is the result of months of heated public debate and parliamentary argument, sparked by President Nicolas Sarkozy, last year.


His centre-right UMP government introduced the law as part of a targeted populist strategy aimed at quelling increasing public unrest about rising unemployment, widespread austerity measures and immigration.

Mr Sarkozy also made a call for a wider public debate on the role of Islam in French society, sparking accusations of political cynicism as he battles falling popularity, an increasingly successful far-right leader, Marine Le Pen and a presidential race in less than a year.

The ban on the face veil in France is also seen to be politically motivated as an estimated 2000 women – of a population of five million Muslims – wear the veil.

French police, who fear a campaign of provocation, have been issued a nine-page memorandum detailing how women can be detained, where they can be asked to remove the veil for identification and exactly what article of clothing is identified as the veil.

Belgium has also passed a law banning the veil but is yet to enforce it, while other European countries are considering similar rules, including Switzerland and the Netherlands.

Police in France have made it clear that they fear the outbreak of rioting in some areas if the law is enforced, such as in socially distressed areas such as Trappes - but equally if they move against veiled Saudi women shopping on the Champs Elysees.

Vive la France!

Those cheese eating surrender monkeys deserve their own nation. Even when they are pissed off at you, it just sounds like they want some rough sex.

If there ever was a mismatch, it's muslims and the French.
The French live to make life beautiful, ..muslims live to make the world ugly.

The French have had their heads in the sky (quite a lot, as per usual) in thinking that the muslims will come around to their way of thinking. But of course that ain't gonna happen.
We're gonna have to rescue them for what is something meaningful to ourselves yet again.
..And that's OK, ..as long as they stay beautiful.

OK, OK, just give them 10 strokes of the cane, on their bare buttocks - in public.

Can you see how moderate i am.




And before all of you lefty 'liberals' complain, consider this....

In many Sharia jurisdictions women who go 'uncovered' in public are taken into custody, imprisoned and raped in prison, for their 'crime'.

Viva le France. Islam is a failed religion of crackpots who have wrecked their own countries and are now trying to wreck ours. If they don't like democracy bugger off back to where they came from.
