Burqa becomes focus of tense debate in Europe

Even if their religion is not being violated, human rights and freedom of expression is most certainly being violated. You are in NO position to decide what is Islamic or not.

I am most certainly in the position to decide what is Islamic or not. Because I am Muslim and knowledgeable about Islam.

As for freedom of expression, what if a person comes into a bank wearing a ski mask. When the guard at the bank asks him to take that ski mask off, is his freedom of expression being violated or are they making the bank safe by having him remove that mask?

There is no practical application for burka and thus I have no quams if the french have a law which forbids its use.

Dont like it, then leave France.

@pak-one

Have you every been to France? Obviously not, the French police has entire units of women police officers. Dealing with Burka clad woman or even asking burka clad woman to take off the burka in their presence would not be an issue.

There plenty of woman who choose to wear a burka just like they choose to wear a bikini, you have no authority to decide their choices.

Seriously we need more morons to parrot this line of thinking, the world will definitely be a better place after we put restrictions on women.

I have been to France 5 Times.

1990, 1993, 1996, 2000 and 2003.

French female police officers have other responsibilities dealing with domestic abuse, rape cases, sexual assault, etc, why burden them with this additional headache.

Burka is a security issue as well as a misogynistic symbol imposed by men over women.

If women want to wear a burka, then I suggest they stay indoors.

I mean what outdoor activities can women do with a burka?

If they step out, I like to see people’s faces and know full well they are not a danger to society.
