Anyways, back to the burka topic. Since, you have so much love for burka and keep invoking Universal declaration of Human Rights to justifying it...when it has nothing to do with Islam. In that case perhaps you will also support women who do not want to wear burka, but are forced into beekeepers suits in places like Saudi Arabia, Iran, Afghanistan and some parts of Pakistan. Lets hear you condemning the actions of those who force women into burka...when women themselves don't want to be in burka.
As for the France and Europe in general, there is reason why there is backlash against Muslims in those countries. When you bring backward tribal cultures like burka, female genital mutilation and honors killings with you...it understandable why they're concerned about it. That is why there is huge backlash against Muslims b/c they have hard time integrating into western societies.
yawn More bull****. The point is simple. Regardless of what you think it is part of Islamic teachings is it not. You can use all the word games to make yourself at ease but at the end of the day we know whats right.
Its a simple issue. The universal declaration states and protects the right to practice religion freely. You are frankly being a hypocrit. You openly agree with restricting the human rights of muslims in other lands and then ***** about religious freedoms of minorities in Islamic lands.
The rest of your post is irrelevant as we are discussing french laws which restrict freedom of religion. You want to start thread on the Burqa in Muslim countries, by all means do so. But as a moderator you know know better than attempts to derail a thread.
