France Bans Burqas

[Welsh cake]

Of course, everyone knows that the veil is not a threat to public safety nor is it hurting anyone.

Sure there's no potential for fraud by hiding your identity from the rest of society either.

It is being banned just because it's a symbol of Muslim space and the refusal to assimilate.

I don't buy those lies that they oppress women and isolate them from society either. Fucking Western propaganda.

France is afraid of the growth of Muslim population in the country and they don't like this and that's the only reason that I can see for banning it.

Well the French have this silly notion that immigration without integration is a bad thing, but what do they know right? Protests away!

The Muslim women in France choose to wear it, and they're happy about it, and no one is forcing them to wear it, unlike the women in Afghanistan where they may get shot with an AK-47 by the Taliban if they don't wear it. *shudders*

Clearly the women being forced to wear it in France and those in Afghanistan should never be conflated.

But I also think its unfair they didn't choose to live in another country with annoying secular ethics. How dare the French force them to live and abide by French Law! I'm sure you'll agree. >.>
