France Begins Ban on Niqab and Burqa
Women wearing a face veil in public could now be fined or given lessons in French citizenship France's ban on face veils, a first in Europe, went into force on Monday, and anyone wearing the niqab or burqa in public could now face a fine of €150 (£132), or lessons in French citizenship. The centre-right government, which passed the law in October, has rolled out a public relations campaign to explain the ban and the rules of its application that includes posters, pamphlets and a government-hosted website. Guidelines spelled out in the pamphlet forbid police from asking women to remove their burqa in the street. They will instead be escorted to a police station and asked to remove the veil there for identification. Widely criticised by Muslims abroad as impinging on their religious freedom, the law has provoked a limited backlash in France where a strict separation of church and state is seen as central to maintaining a peaceful civil society. |

Re: France Begins Ban on Niqab and Burqa
I think they are well within their rights to enforce a ban like this. The police have been ordered not to forcefully remove a viel and i think they can still wear them in cars unless they sre driving so seems pretty fair to me..although in fairness i dont want to wear one so..

Re: France Begins Ban on Niqab and Burqa
I thought you were fucking with me. I looked it up. I am forever learning, too. Islamization (also spelt Islamisation, see spelling differences) or Islamification (pejorative Muhammadization) has traditionally been used to describe the process of a society's conversion to the religion of Islam. In contemporary usage, it can also mean the imposition of an Islamist social and political style on a society with a tradition of a more varied interpretation of Islam. |

Re: France Begins Ban on Niqab and Burqa
In Islamic countries it's the law to wear a veil or abide by proper clothing, why can't a Western country have similar rules? If you want to stay in said country either abide by them or fuck off.
