Who'd of thought the French would have more balls than the Brits?
Oh, so stomping on a persons freedom to dress as they chose is "having balls"?

Why are so upset??? People are quite happy to "stomp on a Motorcyclists rights" to NOT remove his/ her Helmet when purchasing petrol.

Sorry rayaan but 'In the West' the only people who cover their faces in public are criminals and the diseased.
In the west? In the West I want to see people can cover their faces if they fucking well want to, I don't care if they do it for religious reasons or a dislike of sunlight on the face. Saying shit like "Well they look like criminals" is like banning knives because "Murders use them".

Because someone in a fundamentalist country would get upset if you walk around in short shorts we should be equally intolerant?

[quote='theVOID' pid='127308' dateline='1302599257']I think France is being very brave or very clever...the garment is 'Banned' in public so should anyone be taunted or persecuted for wearing such a garment over their face where do they stand in a court of law should they wish to whinge or make a legal complaint??
They aren't being either brave or clever, any more than the KKK was brave and clever for lynchin them there niggas!
Yes they are VI0D...think of the legal implications....THINK!!
wiki Wrote:Along with scriptural arguments, Leila Ahmed argues that head covering should not be compulsory in Islam because the veil predates the revelation of the Qur'an. Head-covering was introduced into Arabia long before Muhammad, primarily through Arab contacts with Syria and Iran, where the hijab was a sign of social status. After all, only a woman who need not work in the fields could afford to remain secluded and veiled.
So essentially what we have here is NOT a religious nor cultural nor "demanded by god" custom...it is no different then an Asian woman walking under an umbrella in the sun and NOT wanting to appear as if she is a peasant. What we have here is ego gone crazy and a bunch of non-thinking people lapping it up...islamist who insist that the "veil" is religious or cultural are no better than fllowers of that Marharishi idiot in the 80's http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maharishi_Mahesh_Yogi I is just a HUGE joke and idiot in "the West" like you are lapping it up
Really VI0D...
