Re: Women who wear burkas in France face £700 fine

What kind of injustice is this??
Niqab is banned in France....................while their women come to our countries with those disgusting bikinis in our beaches. Offending morals, Dignity, all religions (because there is no religion say that women can be naked like that)!!
What if they got banned???

The eyes show, therefore the face is not completely covered, therefore it shouldn't come under the rulings of this law.

From what I understand this law is formulated so that just showing the eyes is also considered 'covering the face'. I assume the law also outlaws, say, something like this:

I'm sure people who wear those things would be perfectly willing to pay the proposed 750 euro fine. All bank robbers are such civil citizens, you know.

So why is it legal in Muslim countries to wear a bikini?

What if they got banned???

Beach tourism would die a sudden death in Muslim countries?

Just to make clear. We are NOT talking about the hijab here, but any type of clothing that completely covers the face! This covers both the burqa and in this law, also the niqaab apparently. It also covers non-religious clothing. But this law does NOT apply to headscarfs, neither Christian nor Muslim.

so?

the niqab/burka is a religious piece of clothing-this is a discrimination against those who choose to wear it for religious (NOT POLITICAL) reasons

well im banned from france buwahahaha

I give you the answer, can you imagine only about 2 000 women in France are wearing the BURKA are you surprised ?


Can you tell me why in France they make a lot of noise for 2 000 of our sisters ???

Re: Women who wear burkas in France face £700 fine

France have made it very clear that this is a political reason, and has motives rooted in fear.

Original Post said:
Mr Copé insists the law is based on public safety and sexual equality considerations and does not restrict religious practices.

"We spoke to religious and secular figures who all confirmed [the burka] was not a religious prescription. Wearing the full body veil is about extremists who want to test the republic," he said.

"test the republic" makes no sense whatsoever, and the failure is not even in their assumption that the niqaab does that - it is in their resolution. A financial penalty? How does that enforce co-existence of pluralistic cultures? It isolates a minority and makes them feel discriminated against.

If Muslim countries ban such act they will accuse Muslims that they dont accept others' freedom and that they are not liberal and all those stupid things, twisted principles as usual!

Even though, very few Muslim countries counted on ones hand's fingers ban such thing.
 
Re: Women who wear burkas in France face £700 fine

I think it's worth noting that this actually hasn't gone through the French Assembly yet. I dunno about French politics, but it's not law yet. It might never be law. One of the benefits of democracy is that the government can't simply do what they want- they need to consult the people, or at the very least politicians from other parties, before they want to make a new law.

France is unlikely to impose a total ban on Muslim veils but may bar them from public buildings, it has emerged.

However, if gender equality is something you strive for I agree that the burqa or niqaab (which only women have to wear) is problematic.

How convenient!

You're joking right? no no you've GOT to be joking me!

France's National Assembly should pass a resolution denouncing full Muslim face veils and then vote the strictest law possible to ban women from wearing them, a parliamentary commission proposed on Tuesday.
