Man who forced wife to wear burqa is denied French citizenship

Well done! I hope the other European countries will follow suit!

Personally I would not be concerned if ALL these immigrants cover up, having spent some years in the cradle of Islam, I found it was only the poorer element who kept up this irritating practice, and having seen a few with their faces uncovered, I would suggest they do us a favour by being obscured.

It baffles me why the males think that their women would be ogled, unless they really mean they think an ordinary male with ordinary feelings go for such ugliness.

I suggest to those man they should get their women folk to encase their feet in covering footwear, because not only do I feel outraged by the fact they cannot be seen facially, but that their feet are usually an horrendous sight.

I am sorry to say, the covering is on the wrong end of their body if anything.

for five minutes, or tried to walk about and do the daily shopping for two minutes in one, you would know no one would ever willing choose this. It is something these women are brain washed into, clearly. Aside from this whole issue...Safety. Safety of those around these wears as who knows what they have under there. Safety of the women themselves as they can not safely walk ten steps in them. I can't blame emergency personnel if they don't want to have to scrape one of them up off the pavement after she steps out in front of a car she was unable to see at a street corner. It is no different than emergency personnel who encourage seat belt wearing because they are tired of seeing people killed in horrendous grisly ways because they didn't wear them.
Besides that, the original desire to ban burkas was only to promote two things dear to my heart and to the hearts of all good French. Secularism, which wants only to ensure you CAN practice any religion you want in the private of your home or religious buildings (church, synagogue, whatever) and not let any feel their religion supersedes yours in the eyes of any, including the government, is the goal and I think it is an excellent goal. These people should be happy greater minds are trying to reach for a loftier goal, but of course they are not. Their only goal is to impress their religion on others and deprive them of the right to enjoy their own. Nothing in the Muslim writings ever in any way even asks these burkas of the women, and good, honest Muslims abhor them. I say we should be doing everything in our power to help these poor women throw off the oppression they have been so brain washed and beaten down as to not even recognize anymore, deluded as they are into believing they ever had any opportunity to choose other than the burka, seeing as they will be murdered in the most gruesome way possible by those who claim to love them best should they stick their noses outside without them. How can there ever be any choice where coercion is the basic mode of conversion to the practice?

Citizen should be judged according to his virtue as a citizen and not according to his beliefs. However, when a person imposes his the customs of his religion or culture he came from, he creates harassment and hostility. Harassment imposed on that person of the same laws and culture or religion and hostility to the people around them who cannot interfere on behalf of respect privacy. Therefor this acts - Banning the borqa and Indicate increasing resistance to Islamic culture and attributes are understandable. Europe is a salad of false equality. And though it fake, no external causes may be more dominant than others by trying to instill the reality in which he lives. If he wants to continue living in the same cultural reality in which he lived before he should go back to where he came from or accept the fact that he should fit in and help to create something new as part of the local culture and not instead of.

well done to the french goverment. about time some one stud up

WHEN WE SAY THAT WE ARE A DEMOCRATIC COUNTRY.Then every indivudual should be treated equally.Everyone should be free to practice his/her religious and social culture.This is not democracy being practiced by France.

And what of women who are severely pressured to wear demeaning outfits? Are countries whose societies applaud the objectification of women much different than those who are "forced" to veil themselves? Just because you don't understand (because really you can't unless you've grown up in their society, just like they can't understand the appeal of skimpy outfits unless they grew up in those societies) their mentality doesn't make them automatically wrong. Ethnocentrism needs to stop. No one should be forced to veil, but if it was her own personal choice, then so be it.

Other Non-Islamic countries should learn from France.

Amil
Indi

Full Islamic veil is like a prison in the cloths forms. The whole body coveried, burqa, and niqab all just like the bars of freedom , put women in prison whereever they go.

I'm glad to see that France is standing up for what is right. The burqa a symbol of oppression, and that should not allowed in this day and age.

WELL DONE FRANCE. YOU ARE TRUE CHAMPIONS.

LOVE, FROM INDIA.

he should move to iran or pakistan

Bravo to the brave French Govt; especially now being attacked by the French catholic church and the Trostkyist's party on such stand. I hope the French Govt will deport Islamist men who break the law. Particularly when they are committing such abuses of human rights towards their wives and daughters - by forcing them to wear any kind of veil or imposing any form of Dark Age rules, which actulaly symbolizes Dark Age sexist ideology - deceitfully using cultural rights, that include religious rights!

You either want to live in a country and respect its values or you don't!! If you don't want to respect those values then the decision is easy - don't come. Or to put it another way, we westerners are expected to respect the laws of a muslim country if we decide to live in that country. I agree with the comment that I hope that the UK follows the example of France and bans the burqa.

oh,did you note "ordered his wife" that is the incompability

As a matter of fact, I'm French and I think you've never lived in France.
The thing is that in france, religion and public life are supposed to be separated.
For instance, you do not express your point of view about religion at work or in schools. Same thing for every administrative buildings. Christians cannot expose their christian jewellery.
What's more, the law is about burqa only, and not the veil. Women who wear veils in France are well accepted, the law forbids only the veils that completely cover the face of the woman, and which makes her unrecognizable. You have to admit this makes completely sense.
I hope I ve made my point clear.

best regards,

lets hope that Britain follows France in banning the burqa, it has no place in the west

so much for "voluntary"
