Once Again.... If You Don't Like France...

[Dystopia]

I would agree if this dress code were simply voluntary. I can't argue that some muslim women volunteer to abide, but some women go to great lengths to protest the dress code. How can we determine if someone really likes the trash bag look, versus being forced to wear it by someone that will at a minimum beat the shit out of them for disobedience? The idea of compulsion makes your gay marriage analogy untenable.

I too have qualms about this ban, especially since one of the exceptions to the rule is religious processions. I don't think it's a public safety issue. It's anti Muslim pure and simple. And while I don't like Islam I do believe in freedom of religion.

The problem is as Cato points out that it really is difficult to tell how voluntary it is on the part of women.

I think France might do better to really enforce existing French laws about spouse and child abuse in the Muslim community rather than letting those things slide as "cultural."

But I must admit, a small mean part of my brain says "Yay France."

Can you tell I'm confused and torn?

This is not anti-islam, this is a matter of public security. I wont' trust anyone who's wearing a mask. If Christian women wore the same attires the measure would be equal. Just like you can't go out wearing a bandanna or another kind of mask

How do you get from wearing a face covering to wanting to mould the country into a muslim state?!

Oh quite easily...
Your very own UK already has a few places where Sharia Law is enforced. Look it up. They want the same all over Europe... first in small groups and in secrecy, then out in broad day light and there isn't much that european governments are willing to do to squash these parallel justice systems... France here is one example of trying to do just that... and some people complain!

The Sharia Law being enforced is true. Some parties have accused muslim communities all over europe of doing so. Why is it that if I'm an atheist in their States I get executed or jailed, but they already need to have a special right to change other people's culture? This is the way multiculturalism and acceptance isn't meant to be used god dammit
