France :
It finally came into open ,while delegating the ban on Burqas’ the garment which Muslim women wear and which covers them from head to toe, is a sign of subjugation of women ,so says the French President Nicholas Sarkozy.
There was a move by some French legislators to show concern over increasing use of burqa by Muslim women in France.
Sarkozy supported their move while addressing various issues in a joint session of French parliament held in the Palace of Varsellies.
In fact he went a step further and said that actually burqa was nota religious issue of religious but it was a question of women’s dignity and freedom .
He went further to say that burqas are not welcome in France. It is the same France where headscarves were banned in 2004.
He said debating an issue was always an healthy way to sort out any problem.
It seems we now just have to wait for the reaction .

Burqa may be a sign of subjugation but we can't force the women to do what they don't want to. It will be better if Sarkozy government educate the women rather than imposing such laws against their will.

The women can still wear burkas, they just can’t go out in public in them, just the opposite of your country, except the French won’t kill them if they do not comply.

The Muslims need to be called out for their barbaric acts. This is one small step in the right direction. Way to go President Sarkozy.

Regardless of how one may feel about the issue personally, people have the right to dress how they want - assuming no coercion. Any such ban would be unenforceable and probably would be challenged in the French courts and in the European Court of Human Rights.

Yea, you are right, but just think about how the women who are being forced to wear it will finally be able to have an excuse to get out of their portable prison. The ones who really wanted to wear it will wear it anyway.

Unfortunate that Mr. Sarkozy thinks Burqa as a symbol of oppression. Most of Burqa wearing muslim women, including my wife and Sister, wears it because they think it is protection and Burqa actually liberates from evil eyes and men's carnal desires. Look at christian Nun. A man would not give a second look at her because he considers her modest. Same applies to Burqa. In truth, western women are veiled and muslim women are liberated.

You want an excuse to treat women like garbage in a bag at the curb, you want to rob them of every vestige of humanity,you want to make them to lie and say they like being invisible, go ahead,.....In your country... but don’t presume to tell other countries about dress codes.
The saying in my grandmother’s day was that women are to be seen but not heard, in your day it is women are not to be seen or heard.

I knew it. If any country were to create a fashion police, it would be France.

Too late, Iran, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia and lots of other countries already have fashion police. A fashion faux-pas in those countries could get you killed.

Reminds of the Kemal Ataturk who banned burqa in Turkey to modernize the nation. It had paid off, and so will be this ban! I don’t find there is anything wrong in this as France is only protecting their own culture of freedom and fashion. Haven’t they got the right to protect their culture?

I'm with you Ameya and Nuya
If we move out to some arab country, we have to follow their culture or else, their religious sentiments gets hurt. We can't kiss or hold hands on the streets or else, will be jailed.
Same principal should be applied to them. In our country, you have to live the way we live. You can't force your traditions on us. In case you don't like it, please feel free to move to any muslim country.
