[quote:Anonymous Coward 925566:MV8xMDIyNTE1XzE2MTM2MTQyX0E3NEJCMjZE] [quote:dereistic] This is stupid. You can't ban an article of clothing. They should be allowed to wear the veil if they want to. Stupid ? No the stupid thing is that they cover their faces like this. I say about fucking time. It's part of their religion, are you going to ban priests from wearing whatever the fuck it is they wear? [/quote] Yea part of their foolish religion that they forcefully push on them. Dumbass.

The move would protect the dignity of women, the president added.
“The full veil is contrary to the dignity of women,” he said. “The response is to ban it. The Government will table a draft law prohibiting it.”
The president gave no further details during his address to the nation following a heavy defeat in regional elections for his ruling Union for a Popular Movement party.
Speaking from the Elysee Palace Mr Sarkozy gave no indication as to how an outright ban would be imposed and policed.
France is home to six million Muslims.

Niqab (Face veil) for Muslim women banned in Canadian province
TORONTO: After France, Muslim women have been banned from wearing niqab in Canada's French-speaking Quebec province.
A bill tabled Wednesday will not allow government services to women wearing the niqab.
The bill comes after protests triggered by an Egyptian immigrant's refusal to remove her niqab in her French languages classes in Montreal, forcing the school and the provincial government to throw her out.
The college says the Muslim woman was given the front seat in the class so that all male students sat behind her. She was even allowed to make presentations from the rear of the classroom with her back to the class which had three male and 17 female students.
However, students and the college authorities were shocked when one day the woman asked male students to move away from her and refused to sit with them around a U-table to converse and learn French pronunciation.
