Women are banned from wearing Burqas and Niqabs, those are full body veils, women wear to show their "Submission to God.",and it is also a centuries old tradition in Islamic culture. I believe that the restrictions that the French government is placing on Islamic women is an abuse of governement power, and religious intolerance. These women are told they cannot wear their religous clothing out in public. This is not a feminist or women's impowerment movement. Not all women are forced to wear burqas, women in france have a greater autonomy than women in Islamic countries and choose to wear Burqas to express their religous faith.
Religous freedom should not be encroached on.
I am not muslim, am I very attached to my catholic faith but I am completely angry and saddnened. I really hope the American goverment will never follow this action.. and truly hope that this ban falls out and doesn't become adopted in other nearby countries. Mark my words a veil WILL cause angry riots and hostile nations.
Yo France, you just fucked up!
