France to ban the burka

[droski]

The problem of the burka is not a religious problem. This is an issue of a woman's freedom and dignity. This is not a religious symbol. It is a sign of subservience; it is a sign of lowering. I want to say solemnly, the burka is not welcome in France," Sarkozy told lawmakers.

I read this article last night. It's an odd contrast.

funny how the issue of woman's freedom is solved by telling them what they can't wear.

Yep. They also ban all sorts of religious wear to maintain a secular culture but bend over backwards not to offend the growing Muslim population. Then they go and ban the burka claiming it's not a religious issue.

And here we go again... Paris will be on fire once more and they will scratch their heads once more.

This policy contrasts with Obama's views who sees nothing wrong with the burkha.
