[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not to turn this into a discussion of the niqab ban, but I have never understood how France could claim they are a democratic, enlightened society where all are welcomed and then impose such a law. The argument that 'if you don't like, then move' is all well and good, but I thought of France as more progressive than Saudi Arabia and the like where women are forced to wear certain items of clothes. [/quote] I think the poster who pointed out that the burqa is a barrier to the basic requirement of civilty( being able to see the face of those to whom you are addressing) was well put. Also, it is a fact that there is nothing in the Quoran or the Sunnah which explicitly states that women must cover their face. Like Mohammed worship , the pressure to cover a woman's face grew out of the misogyny inherent in the desert nomad culture of that part of the world. Lets remember that Mohammed also found it necessary to " reveal" that one should stop burying the female infant in the sand at birth. So, the French and European stance in general is : you are free to practice your faith, but your myspgiby will not be given quarter in our society. Don't line it, don't come to our country. [/quote]
