CBC News - World - French burka ban proposal riles Muslims
They argue that it's all about protecting women from being oppressed and being told what to wear.... yet what they're doing is oppressing & dictating what women can and can't wear, how much of their skin is exposed, etc.
Kind of ironic when I don't remember them ever actually asking the women in question what they thought or even if they're wearing them by their own free will as an adult..... or if they even have men in their lives whom could tell them what to wear or not.
In extremist places that follow Islam, sure I bet some men are forcing women to wear them.... but most moderates I've seen interviewed who wear them in western civilizations said they wear them by their own choice and free will and like the fact that they don't have to deck themselves out in makeup and such when they want to head out somewhere, in order to impress strangers on the street when it's none of their concern how they look. They don't have to worry about men heckling them or checking them out on the streets, which we all know us men do from time to time.
So when can we expect the same dress codes being applied to other religious groups like the Amish, Jehovah's Witnesses, Nuns, Priests, Rabbis, etc.?
Of course it never once surprised me that something like this half-brained idea would come from Sarkozy.... he's a womanizing pig anyways, married a super model, constantly caught in photo opts checking women out.... if he had his way, he'd have France setup like the Feringi Homeworld where all women must be naked at all times and banned from wearing clothes.
Sarkozy is protecting women from oppression? Sounds like he's protecting his right to have women to check out and oogle.
And the whole argument on security and people hiding bombs under burqas is so baseless and stupid, it's not even funny.
