Like I mentioned in another thread, why do you care if these women want to observe hijab or niqab?
You have serious problem either with freedom of choice or their religious conviction or both!
What makes me wonder, is why you don't have a problem with it. These people, often foreign, under foreign influence, are doing things that are clearly unsettling to enough of the native population where they seek to outlaw it.
We are all subject to the rule of the land, and especially when you choose to move to a land where the customs are not your own, you'd do well to respect them. There's a limit to everything, even what we like to call religious self expression.

These people who chose to live in another country did not have any wish to be slaved by the natives to have their ideas be thrown out the window and not be able to live freely with their own ideas of lives.
Many of these maybe born in to the country so your idea of 'chose to live' is useless.
Living in another country does not mean giving up the basic rights like choosing to wear any personal clothing item.
No there is no limit to harmless religious expression not that I was even discussing it to begin with. Sounds like it is not about letting someone live freely, it is about being anti-religious. You and I both know it. ;)
It is a serious violation of personal right to tell someone not to wear ANY clothing item of their liking. Custom is what people make. People belong to different background. Not everyone in this world is supposed to wear clothes the same way.
If someone has problem with other person wearing a harmless article then that person is at fault not the person who is wearing it.
Noor the state has to respect civil liberties which in the case of France they are not doing.
Put it this way The Taliban forced women to wear the burqa. The French force them to take it off. Same coin different sides. There is no difference in their actions.
somehow its against the laws of humenrights to baned burqas in religious or cultural point of view but what about us are we the Champion of humenrights in our homeland ?

I think I know what you are trying to refer to. It is an old useless argument.
This silly argument has absolutely no basis and you are reminding me the same discussion I had with another guppie not too long ago.
Dude, two wrong never make one or other right.
Besides, those who live outside any country should not be required to pay what happens in their previous country or the country of their forefathers.
French muslim women should consider themselves lucky....that French govt has not gone taliban way.....
Taliban has given 2 rights to women;
Women have right to obey their husbands.
Women have right to pray, but not in a mosque.
French will just fine you for wearing a niqaab, but they will not kill you the way taliban gunned down Sitara Achakzai (female policewali in Afghanistan).
the term sounds funny now
its the usage of this term tht makes me laugh
