France banning the face veil

Do you agree with France banning the full face veil that is often used by Muslim women to cover their face from view?



Is it an attack on religion as a whole or is it an attempt by France to recapture its Christian roots?

I do not know the reasons given, and I don't know if there were any ulterior motives behind it. I do know that I don't think I'd like it if our government followed suit, if the intent was to root out Muslims. On one hand, I can understand it if those masks were being used in the commission of a crime. On the other, I wouldn't want our government to say I cannot wear a cross around my neck.

The difference between a cross and a full face veil is that the full face veil is a security risk as you cannot see the users face.

That's what I meant when I wrote 'in the commission of a crime'. Sorry I wasn't clearer. :)

We could take it either way...a cross could be barge enough to stab someone.

I can see both sides. Was that the reason France's government gave for banning the veils?

It was seen as oppressive to women that they were being forced to conceal their identity by covering up their face.

You aren't familiar with doggie head?

Ok, let me explain. Ya know when a dog hears a noise it's not familiar with or it seems as if the dog is confused?...it cocks it head sideways as if to say, "What's up with that?" or "I'm confused."

France's problem is not face veils; but rather it id the same problem the United States has ; Unchecked Immigration.

Hmmmm.....

Oh what to do!? A fox keeps killing our chickens.

Political solution: make the chickens wear protective kevlar suits.

Country boy solution : keep the fox out of the hen house.
