Forcing women to remove the veil ...Agree with Suz.<br /><br />Forcing women to remove the veil is no better than forcing women to wear the veil. It's not the veil that's the issue, it's the "Forcing women to do something because you profess to know whats better for them than they do" that's the issue.<br /><br />For as progressive as France claims to be, they've certainly done one hell of a job regressing into medieval mentality.Qasimhttp://www.qasimrashid.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15483635.post-83330346598475651722011-04-17T21:48:34.652-04:002011-04-17T21:48:34.652-04:00I agree with you that the ultimate reasoning behin...I agree with you that the ultimate reasoning behind the ban is intolerance. Even the stated reason that the veil "oppresses Muslim women, violates the French value of gender equality" does not make sense. <br /><br />So you're going to free Muslim women from oppression by taking away one of their choices? You're going to promote equality by singling out this group and denying them the right to practice a tenant of their religion as they see fit.<br /><br />Plus I've said it before and I'll say it again. Head scarves are sexy. American women really should learn to leave something to the imagination- baring it all at one time might have been empowering- in the era of the mini skirt- but now it's just tired and demeaning. Make your statement with your mind, words not your cleavage. That was my rant.suzmaq42https://www.blogger.com/profile/16786476983088747492noreply@blogger.com
